‘Sandwich’ sequencing of adjuvant chemoradiation tied to less toxicity in advanced endometrial cancer

17 Mar 2026

Survival and clinical [Disease Link 9] outcomes in patients with advanced stage [Disease Link 10] endometrial cancer are [Disease Link 11] comparable among the different sequences of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy, a recent study has shown. However, “sandwich” therapy results in less chronic toxicity, which provides an opportunity for a better quality of life in survivorship.

Guardant360® ctDNA liquid biopsy for treatment selection of patients with NSCLC

25 Feb 2026

Case presentation: The patient is a 46-year-old Korean lady who first presented with aggravating pleuritic chest pain characterised by a stabbing pain in the chest when inhaling and exhaling. A diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was made from computed tomography (CT)-guided needle aspiration biopsy, and the tumour was found to be epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive (exon 19 deletion). Chest imaging revealed the presence of left-sided pleural seeding nodules. The patient was treated with afatanib with partial response as best response. Ten months after starting treatment, the patient experienced disease progression.

An Approach to Plagiocephaly in Infants and the Role of Helmet Therapy

23 Feb 2026 by

Plagiocephaly generally refers to cranial asymmetry that may arise in infants due to various reasons. The most common cause of plagiocephaly is positional plagiocephaly, also known as non-synostotic positional calvarial deformity, which may arise from intrauterine constraint or extrauterine compression. Thereafter, it may be perpetuated by post-natal sleeping position, concurrent torticollis, or other neuromuscular conditions.¹
