14 Writing To Patients With Vestibular Schwannoma Transitioning from complexity to clarity leveraging Learning language model

Hina Kapadia, Andrew Kay, Luke Galloway

Abstract Introduction Effective written communication is central to patient-centred and safe care. NHS guidance recommends that outpatient clinic letters be written directly to patients at a readability level equivalent to Flesch Reading Ease (FRE) ≥60. However, neurosurgical correspondence often remains highly technical. Vestibular schwannoma (VS) management, involving complex decisions regarding surgery, radiotherapy, or surveillance, provides a suitable model to examine readability and evaluate whether large lan …

18 TTFields with maintenance temozolomide/pembrolizumab versus TTFields with maintenance temozolomide/placebo for newly diagnosed glioblastoma: the phase 3 EF-41/KEYNOTE D58 trial

Gerben Borst, David D Tran, Ashley P Ghiaseddin, Michael Lim, Michael Weller, Motoo Nagane, Jacob C Easaw, Elizabeth Cohen-Jonathan Moyal

Abstract Introduction With the current standard-of-care for glioblastoma (maximal safe resection followed by radiotherapy with concurrent TMZ, then maintenance temozolomide/TTFields), median overall survival (OS) is approximately 21 months. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have not demonstrated meaningful clinical benefit in glioblastoma, partly because the tumor microenvironment is immunosuppressive. Preclinically, TTFields can induce immunogenic cell death and activate type 1 interferon signaling, with downstream inc …

Endoscopic drainage and one-stage titanium clip closure for appendiceal root abscess mimicking cecal submucosal tumor: a case report

Yanping Dai, Yang Liu, Jun Ye

Periappendiceal abscess stands as a frequent complication stemming from acute appendicitis. One rare variant presents as a submucosal mass at the root of the appendix and cecum. Clinicians often misdiagnose this form at alarmingly high rates. Conventional management brings substantial surgical trauma. It also prolongs patients’ recovery periods. Whether minimally invasive endoscopic intervention works well for this distinct abscess subtype still lacks solid clinical proof. Whether minimally invasive endoscopic inte …

45 Predicting sites of tumour progression in the invasive margin of glioblastomas (PRaM-GBM Study): a multicentre imaging study

Stephen Price, Roxanne Mayrand, Julia Cook, Alimu Dayimu, Anil Varma, Michael Jenkinson, Keyoumars Ashkan, Ryan Mathew, Stuart Smith, Raj Jena, Tomasz Matys, Alexis Joannides, Nikolaos Demiris

Abstract Introduction Despite advances in surgery and radiotherapy, glioblastoma patients often experience progression within a year, adjacent to the resection cavity. Conventional imaging techniques are not sensitive enough to detect invasive tumour, leaving occult tumour undetected. We have developed a diffusion tissue signature technique using diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) that can locate occult tumour and predict their pattern of progression. This multicentre study aims to qualify DTI as a biomarker for tumour pro …

117 Transcript-resolved mapping of the m6A RNA modification landscape in glioma using nanopore direct RNA sequencing

Simon Deacon, Lauryn Walker, Masar Radhi, Jonathan Rowlinson, Robert Goldspring, Simon Paine, Matthew Loose, Stuart Smith

Abstract Introduction Glioblastoma (GBM) remains uniformly fatal despite multimodal therapy. While DNA methylation profiling has transformed brain tumour classification, post-transcriptional RNA modifications remain comparatively underexplored. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal RNA modification and regulates splicing, nuclear export, translation and RNA stability. As a dynamic and reversible mark, m6A may enable glioma cells to rapidly remodel transcriptional networks in response to microenviro …
