Active surveillance (AS) is standard for early-stage prostate cancer, though intensive monitoring continues due to concerns about reclassification to Grade Group (GG) ⩾ 2. We hypothesized that simple and inexpensive clinical parameters could identify patients with indolent disease for whom less intensive monitoring is safe.
Optimal postoperative follow-up for lung neuroendocrine tumours (L-NET) and surgical resection approaches remain debated. This audit aimed to benchmark long-term outcomes after L-NET surgery at a high-volume centre, identify prognostic factors, and estimate follow-up duration.
Process mining (PM) is a powerful approach for analysing and optimising complex workflows. Radiation therapy (RT) involves multiple steps and resources, making it well suited for PM analysis.
This study aimed to develop radiomics-based multivariate classifiers able to non-invasively decipher the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in resected Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
The increasing complexity of precision medicine has highlighted the limitations of traditional randomized clinical trials (RCTs) when applied to highly stratified populations and biologically heterogeneous diseases. In this context, master protocols represent an evolution towards integrated experimental infrastructures, capable of simultaneously evaluating multiple interventions or molecular subgroups within a single methodological framework.

Circumferential pharyngolaryngectomy (CPL) may result in extensive posterior pharyngeal defects for which standard reconstructive strategies are insufficient. Chimeric flaps from the thoracodorsal system (TDSF) offer independently vascularized components that may address both posterior coverage and luminal restoration. We report what appears to be the first use of a chimeric TDSF for reconstruction following extended CPL.
