Surgery for locally advanced stage IIIB (T4N2) EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma in the era of targeted therapy: a case report
Higher Education PressA 60-year-old woman with stage IIIB (T4N2) EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma invading the distal trachea and superior vena cava underwent curative-intent surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The complex procedure, planned with 3D modeling, included a right upper double-sleeve bilobectomy, tracheal bifurcation sleeve resection, and SVC replacement with a xenopericardial conduit. Adjuvant osimertinib provided 35 months of recurrence-free survival. Subsequent relapse with MET amplification responded transiently to crizotinib; the patient survived 42 months post-surgery, illustrating the potential of multimodal therapy in selected patients.

A histopathological spectrum, descriptive epidemiology and survival status of ovarian cancer cases from a tertiary cancer center in northern India: a retrospective cohort study
Higher Education PressThis retrospective cohort study evaluated the demographic profile, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes of 437 ovarian cancer patients treated at a tertiary cancer centre in Bihar, India, between January 2019 and December 2023. Most patients presented at advanced stages (III–IV, 74.6%), with serous carcinoma being the most common histotype (52.5%). Median overall survival was 22.7 months, with 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year OS rates of 68.9%, 46.5%, and 20.6%, respectively. Surgery followed by chemotherapy was associated with significantly better outcomes. Late diagnosis remains a major challenge, underscoring the need for improved screening in rural areas.

Double vision, single session: why pediatric ISBCS deserves a second look
Higher Education PressA systematic review and meta-analysis published in Eye & ENT Research synthesized current clinical evidence comparing immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) and delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS) in pediatric patients, demonstrating that ISBCS significantly reduces operating room time and postoperative glaucoma risk without increasing intraoperative or anesthesia-related complications, supporting its safe and efficient application in appropriately selected children.

Contact lenses: High awareness, limited safe-use knowledge
Higher Education PressThis cross-sectional study, published in Eye & ENT Research, investigated the knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding contact lens (CL) use among students at the College of Health Sciences, University of Ghana. A total of 236 participants were enrolled via convenience sampling. The results revealed a striking mismatch: while nearly all students were aware of contact lenses, only a small proportion possessed adequate knowledge of standard care and usage, and the overall CL wearing rate was very low. Educational level was significantly associated with contact lens acceptability.

New insights into miR-23b reveal its expanding role as a key player in cancer biology
Compuscript LtdA new review highlights the growing importance of miR-23b, a small but powerful regulator of gene expression, in shaping the development and progression of a wide range of cancers. This molecule, part of the broader family of microRNAs, is increasingly recognised for its complex and sometimes contrasting influence on tumor behaviour, offering fresh perspectives on how cancer can be better understood and managed.
