Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to validate the chemotherapy-induced alopecia distress scale (CADS) in a diverse English-speaking population and patients with endocrine treatment- induced alopecia (EIA). Objective Chemotherapy and endocrine therapy commonly cause alopecia in breast cancer patients, leading to significant psychological and social challenges. The CADS was developed to assess the psychosocial impact of alopecia, but its generalizability beyond Korean patients requires further investigation. Methods Data from the CHANCE study ( NCT02530177 ), which focused on non-metastatic breast cancer, was used. The cohort included 256 patients, and CADS data were collected at baseline, six months after chemotherapy completion, or 12 months after initiating endocrine therapy. The CADS questionnaire comprised 17 items covering physical and emotional health, daily activities, and relationships. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and responsiveness was measured by effect size. Results The CADS exhibited good reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.91 for the overall score, indicating acceptable internal consistency in both chemotherapy (0.89) and endocrine therapy (0.86) groups. Longitudinal responsiveness was supported by an effect size of 0.49 between decreasing satisfaction with hair growth and increasing emotional distress. Cross-sectional validity was confirmed, with effect sizes of 0.91 and 0.92 for satisfaction with hair growth and emotional and activity domains, respectively. Conclusion The CADS is a valid and responsive tool for assessing the psychosocial impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and endocrine treatment-induced alopecia in a diverse Western patient population.

Abstract
The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) opened a new era in oncologic therapy. The favourable profile of ICIs in terms of efficacy and safety can be overshadowed by the development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Dermatologic irAEs (dirAEs) appear in about 40% of patients undergoing immunotherapy and mainly include maculopapular, psoriasiform, lichenoid and eczematous rashes, auto-immune bullous disorders, pigmentary disorders, pruritus, oral mucosal lesions, hair and nail changes, as well as a few rare and potentially life-threatening toxicities. The EADV task force Dermatology for Cancer Patients merged the clinical experience of the so-far published data, incorporated the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of each specific dirAEs, and released dermatology-derived, phenotype-specific treatment recommendations for cutaneous toxicities (including levels of evidence and grades of recommendation). The basic principle of management is that the interventions should be tailored to serve the equilibrium between patients' relief from the symptoms and signs of skin toxicity and the preservation of an unimpeded oncologic treatment.

Abstract
In surgery, indications for artificial nutrition comprise prevention and treatment of catabolism and malnutrition. Thus in general, food intake should not be interrupted postoperatively and the re-establishing of oral (e.g. after anastomosis of the colon and rectum, kidney transplantation) or enteral food intake (e.g. after an anastomosis in the upper gastrointestinal tract, liver transplantation) is recommended within 24 h post surgery. To avoid increased mortality an indication for an immediate postoperatively artificial nutrition (enteral or parenteral nutrition (PN)) also exists in patients with no signs of malnutrition, but who will not receive oral food intake for more than 7 days perioperatively or whose oral food intake does not meet their needs (e.g. less than 60–80%) for more than 14 days. In cases of absolute contraindication for enteral nutrition, there is an indication for total PN (TPN) such as in chronic intestinal obstruction with a relevant passage obstruction e.g. a peritoneal carcinoma. If energy and nutrient requirements cannot be met by oral and enteral intake alone, a combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition is indicated. Delaying surgery for a systematic nutrition therapy (enteral and parenteral) is only indicated if severe malnutrition is present. Preoperative nutrition therapy should preferably be conducted prior to hospital admission to lower the risk of nosocomial infections. The recommendations of early postoperative re-establishing oral feeding, generally apply also to paediatric patients. Standardised operative procedures should be established in order to guarantee an effective nutrition therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to assess postoperative hepatic growth of colorectal adenocarcinoma metastasis and peritumoural macrophage counts after laparoscopy in an experimental animal model. METHODS Thirty male syngenic WAG/Rij rats were randomised into two surgical groups: laparoscopy (LS; n = 15) using CO(2) at 12 mmHg and laparotomy (LT; n = 15; negative control) during an operating time of 90 min. At 45 min after setup, CC531s colon adenocarcinoma cells were injected into two liver lobes. Postoperative tumour volumes were determined by abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed three-dimensional volumetry. Peritumoural macrophages were counted by local stereology using a confocal laser-scanning fluorescence microscope. RESULTS The median postoperative tumour volume was significantly higher after LS in both lobes (L): after 10, 15 and 20 days in L2 and L5: 24/12, 54/38, 275/62 mm(3) and 0/0, 15/11, 55/24 mm(3) (LS/LT). Significantly fewer peritumoural macrophages were found after LS at all postoperative time points (Mann-Whitney: p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Increased hepatic growth of colorectal adenocarcinoma metastasis and impaired cellular antitumoural defence after LS cast doubt on the use of LS in colorectal cancer and needs further clinical investigation.
