Poor outcome

PPOS (Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation) has shown efficacy in preventing early luteinization and improving outcomes in infertile women. However, data among those with poor ovarian response (POR) are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PPOS protocol on the chance of success throughout the IVF process in patients with POR (POSEIDON group III & IV) undergoing IVF/ICSI in Vietnam.

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS), have significant inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity, with poor response to standard neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Achieving a favorable pathologic response (FPR≥95%) from RT is associated with improved patient outcome.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) presents with a high mortality rate. Two important features of PDAC contribute to this poor outcome. The first is metastasis which occurs in~80% of PDAC patients. The second is cachexia, which compromises treatment tolerance for patients and reduces their quality of life.

Clear cell carcinoma of the kidney is a common urological malignancy characterized by poor patient prognosis and treatment outcomes. Modulation of vasculogenic mimicry in tumor cells alters the tumor microenvironment and the influx of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and the combination of its inducers and immune checkpoint inhibitors plays a synergistic role in enhancing antitumor effects.

Bladder cancer (BC) is among the most prevalent malignant urothelial tumors globally, yet the prognosis for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) remains dismal, with a very poor 5-year survival rate. Consequently, identifying more effective and less toxic chemotherapeutic alternatives is critical for enhancing clinical outcomes for BC patients.

Nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (NACC) is a relatively rare salivary gland tumor that is generally associated with poor outcomes. High-dose radiotherapy is a key treatment for patients with NACC. This study reported the long-term efficacy and safety of particle beam radiation therapy (PBRT) for NACC.

The clinical course and surgical outcomes of undifferentiated sarcomatoid carcinoma of the pancreas (USCP) remain poorly characterized owing to its rarity. This study aimed to describe the histology, clinicopathologic features, perioperative outcomes, and overall survival (OS) of 23 resected USCP patients.

Early hormone-positive breast cancers typically have favorable outcomes, yet long-term surveillance is crucial due to the risk of late recurrences. While many studies associate MMP-11 expression with poor prognosis in breast cancer, few focus on early-stage cases. This study explores MMP-11 as an early prognostic marker in hormonepositive breast cancers.

Breast cancer is a common cause for central nervous system (CNS) metastasis, resulting in a significant reduction in overall survival. Germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1/2 are the most common genetic risk factor for breast cancer, associated with poor prognostic factors. This study sought to explore the patterns and outcome of CNS metastases in breast cancer patients with germline PVs in BRCA1/2 genes.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of malignant liver tumor with poor prognosis. In this study, we investigated the expression of transforming growth factor beta regulator 4 (TBRG4) in HCC and its effects on the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of HCC cells, and analyzed the possible molecular mechanisms.

The outcomes of immune checkpoint blockade for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment are unsatisfactory. Furthermore, the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade for liver metastasis of various cancer is poor. Here, we investigated the relationship between stromal programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM).

Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) is a member of the apolipoprotein family with diverse functions. It is associated with the pathogenesis and prognosis of several types of tumors. However, the role of serum apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) in the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate its influence on clinical outcomes in patients with DLBCL.

High-grade serous tubo-ovarian cancer (HGSTOC) is characterised by extensive inter- and intratumour heterogeneity, resulting in persistent therapeutic resistance and poor disease outcome. Molecular subtype classification based on bulk RNA sequencing facilitates a more accurate characterisation of this heterogeneity, but the lack of strong prognostic or predictive correlations with these subtypes currently hinders their clinical implementation.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, the medical care of mothers and children was largely relegated to family members and informally trained birth attendants. As the industrial era progressed, early and key public health observations among women and children linked the persistence of adverse health outcomes to poverty and poor nutrition.
