TL;DR: Marking nodes with biopsy-confirmed metastatic disease allows for selective removal and improves pathologic evaluation for residual nodal disease after chemotherapy, as determined in patients undergoing complete axillary lymphadenectomy.

TL;DR: This manuscript reviews several methods for historical borrowing, illustrating how key parameters in each method affect borrowing behavior, and then, compares these methods on the basis of mean square error, power and type I error.

TL;DR: This article presents several models that allow for the commensurability of the information in the historical and current data to determine how much historical information is used in hierarchical Bayesian methods for incorporating historical data that are adaptively robust to prior information that reveals itself to be inconsistent with the accumulating experimental data.

TL;DR: A pooled analysis was done to infer whether radiotherapy improves responses to immunotherapy in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer, and best out-of-field (abscopal) response rate (ARR), best abscopal disease control rate (ACR), ARR at 12 weeks, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

TL;DR: TTI has lengthened significantly and is associated with absolute increased risk of mortality ranging from 1.2–3.2% per week in curative settings such as early-stage breast, lung, renal and pancreas cancers.
