Humor in radiological breast cancer screening: a way of improving patient service?
(BMC, 2022-10-08)
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer screening is essential in detecting breast tumors, however, the examination is stressful. In this study we analyzed whether humor enhances patient satisfaction. METHODS: In this prospective ...
Predicting progression-free survival after systemic therapy in advanced head and neck cancer: Bayesian regression and model development.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2022-12-23)
BACKGROUND: Advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a poor prognosis, and biomarkers that predict response to treatment are highly desirable. The primary aim was to predict progression-free ...

(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-06)
Clinical archives of patient material near-exclusively consist of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks. The ability to precisely characterise mutational signatures from FFPE-derived DNA has tremendous ...
Value of p53 sequencing in the prognostication of head and neck cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-12-01)
This review aimed to examine the relationship between TP53 mutational status, as determined by genomic sequencing, and survival in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The databases Medline, Embase, Web of Science ...
Advanced practice roles of therapeutic radiographers/radiation therapists: A systematic literature review.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-08-01)
INTRODUCTION: Advances in Radiotherapy (RT) technology and increase of complexity in cancer care have enabled the implementation of new treatment techniques. Subsequently, a greater level of autonomy, responsibility, and ...
Anti-CD38 antibody therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: differential mechanisms of action and recent clinical trial outcomes.
(SPRINGER, 2022-08-09)
CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions both as a receptor and an ectoenzyme, playing key roles in the regulation of calcium signaling and migration of immune cells to tumor microenvironments. High expression ...
