TL;DR: The gene-expression profile studied is a more powerful predictor of the outcome of disease in young patients with breast cancer than standard systems based on clinical and histologic criteria.

TL;DR: A 72-gene signature is closely associated with recurrence-free and overall survival in early-stage NSCLC patients and may become a tool for patient selection for adjuvant therapy.

TL;DR: Investigation of variations in resection for PaC in Europe and USA and determinants for its utilisation found rates of PaC resection remain low in European and USA with great international variations.

TL;DR: Long-term follow-up data showed a constant increase in IBR among patients treated by BCT, even after 15 years, without reaching a plateau, and involved surgical resection margins and vascular invasion were the most important risk factors for IBR.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates persisting differences in important aspects of axillary management throughout the recent decade and highlights the need for international comparative patterns of care studies in oncology, which may help to identify areas where further studies and consensus building may be necessary.
