Neither gastric cancer nor gastric dysplasia is seen in patients with corpus atrophic gastritis (CAG) characterized at baseline with corpus pseudopyloric metaplasia (PPM) without corpus intestinal metaplasia (IM) because such lesions are consistently associated with corpus IM, reports a study.

Survival benefit in patients with de novo stage IV nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) depends on the type of treatment received, with significantly better median overall survival (OS) seen with the use of small-molecule targeted therapy against epidermal growth factor receptor mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangements than with best supportive care, reports a study.

The width of the spared neurovascular bundle (NVB) is an important indicator of postoperative sexual function after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy for prostate cancer, a recent study has found. These findings point to NVB as an easy intraoperative marker for assessing postoperative outcomes.

Triplet therapy combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), docetaxel, and abiraterone-prednisone improves overall survival (OS) in men with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), according to results of the phase III PEACE-1 trial presented at ESMO 2021.
