Researchers at Mayo Clinic, in collaboration with healthcare professionals, have made significant progress in developing an Enhanced Electronic Health Record (EHR)-facilitated cancer symptom control approach. The Enhanced EHR-facilitated Cancer Symptom Control (E2C2) Trial, a pragmatic trial, was designed to test a collaborative care approach for managing common cancer symptoms.

Researchers at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province presented a case study where a patient with a history of lung cancer was misdiagnosed with an avulsion fracture, when in fact, the patient had a pathological fracture due to metastatic cancer. The case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of

Researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified key intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) findings that correlate with adequate decompression and prognostication of functional status in patients undergoing separation surgery for high-grade malignant epidural spinal cord compression. The study, published in Neurosurgical Focus, analyzed 24 iUS images and

Researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that when cancer spreads to new sites throughout the body, it undergoes changes that increase its genetic complexity. This study provides fresh insights into the evolution of cancers during metastasis, which could aid in developing more

Researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have analyzed inpatient clinical notes to understand how documentation around palliative care has changed in relation to metastatic cancer. Using unsupervised language models, the team found that while metastatic cancer and palliative care terms were initially used together in similar contexts,
