Who could benefit from post-mastectomy radiotherapy?
This study investigated the risk factors for recurrence in breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy without radiation therapy. The study concluded that by using these risk factors, a subgroup of patients could be defined as being at a high risk for recurrence and most likely to benefit from post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT).

Should antithrombotics be used when hemorrhagic transformation is detected in ischemic stroke?
Many physicians are reluctant to use antithrombotics once hemorrhagic transformation (HT) has occured in ischemic stroke. Antithrombotics are believed to be associated with worsening HT and consequent neurological deterioration (decreased mental ability). This study investigated whether this association was true.

The impact of beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers on BC survival
This study investigated whether beta blockers (BB), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) have a beneficial effect on breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS; the time between diagnosis and death from BC). The use of BB was found to be associated with better BCSS survival.

Can physical activity increase cancer survival?
This study looked at the association between physical activity after a diagnosis of breast cancer and breast cancer survival. The study concluded that excercise following diagnosis was associated with a decreased risk of death in breast cancer patients.
