Evaluating Surrogate Endpoints in Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer: Progression-Free Survival Outperforms Response Rates as a Predictor of Overall Survival

This comprehensive analysis reveals that progression-free survival moderately correlates with overall survival in advanced biliary tract cancer, while objective response and disease control rates show poor correlation, underscoring the need for better surrogate markers in clinical trials.

Unraveling Non-Acute Decompensation in Cirrhosis: A Distinct Clinical and Pathophysiological Entity with Prognostic Implications

Non-acute decompensation of cirrhosis (NAD) represents a distinct clinical state characterized by elevated cell death markers and moderate prognosis. Identifying predictors such as ascites severity and biomarkers Gasdermin-D and RIPK3 may guide timely interventions to prevent progression to acute decompensation and reduce mortality.
