To integrate relevant clinical data of multicatheter accelerated partial breast irradiation (mAPBI) for reaching a comprehensive conclusion. ⋯ HER2-enriched subtype compared with other subtypes has significantly increased disease relapse and failure in survival. HER2-positive status is positively associated with an increased incidence of LR. Dermatitis is the most common acute RT-related toxicity and fibrosis is the first rife late RT-related toxicity.

To evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness and predictive value of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in the surveillance of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). ⋯ The diagnostic efficacy of FISH will be affected by post-therapy factors. However, FISH still could facilitate the surveillance of NMIBC owing to its non-invasive feature. This study will improve the clinical decision-making and enlighten the future research of NMIBC.

Herbal medicines have the potential to be alternative treatments for metabolic diseases. This systematic review will assess the efficacy of herbal medicines in treating metabolic diseases with blood stasis. ⋯ The findings of this study will provide a summary of the current state of evidence regarding the effectiveness of types of herbal medicine in managing metabolic disease with blood stasis. In addition, this review will be expected to provide a base for clinical trials to confirm the efficacy of herbal medicine for treatments of metabolic disease with blood stasis.
