TL;DR: Despite aggressive therapy with concurrent chemoradiation, fewer than 25% of patients with stage 3 NSCLC achieve 5-year survival and are presumably cured.

TL;DR: The feasibility of photon beam profile deconvolution with a three-layer feedforward neural network with excellent agreement with diode-measured profiles is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The results suggest that FGD5-AS1 in tumor-derived exoskeleton promotes angiogenesis, vascular permeability, and metastasis by regulating the endothelial miR-6838-5p/VAV2 axis and ultimately promotes the occurrence and development of TC.

TL;DR: A social-contextual approach to tobacco control may be useful for narrowing a widening trajectory of smoking disparity for rural women and must be considered in the development of culturally targeted cessation interventions for Ohio Appalachian women.

TL;DR: Novel associations between common low-penetrance alleles in the TGFB signaling cascade and modified risk of cervical cancer in Appalachian women are reported and suggest that the complex environmental exposures that contribute to Appalachian self-identity in Appalachian cervical cancer patients represent an emerging avenue of scientific exploration.
