Utilizing circulation-derived cancer cells to evaluate patients with surgically treated stages I–IIIA NSCLC throughout the preoperative phase
Abstract: Context: When a tumor is considered resectable, surgery is viewed as the primary treatment approach for both early-stage and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One of the most exciting areas of cancer research in the past ten years is liquid biopsy, which offers a practical non-invasive method for cancer detection and tracking. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been linked to a worse prognosis and increased chance of relapse …

A Narrative Review on Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Its Management
Abstract: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), sometimes referred to as brittle bone disease, is a heterogeneous illness characterized by short stature, several fractures, and distorted bones. The main contributing factor to OI is mutations in the genes needed to produce type 1 collagen. While severe OI is perinatally fatal, mild OI can occasionally not be detected until maturity. The frequency of Osteogenesis imperfecta ranges from about 1:15,000 to 1:20,000 births. Five kinds of …
