Key Points
Periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer and NHL.
Research to determine whether periodontal disease is causal and to identify the mechanism is needed.
More communication between dental and medical professionals is indicated.
Key Points
Patients with mCRC with a left‐sided primary tumor carry a better prognosis than patients with tumors originating on the right side.
Adding cetuximab to chemotherapy improves outcomes for patients with left‐sided tumors, but not for those with right‐sided ones.
Side of origin should be considered when deciding on therapeutic regimens for patients with mCRC.
Key Points
PFS was found to be significantly increased with the use of local consolidative therapy in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC with stable or responding disease after standard frontline systemic therapy.
This study provides evidence that is in keeping with an increasingly common approach in patients with advanced NSCLC.
Larger studies and longer follow‐up are needed to confirm an overall survival advantage and improve patient selection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
