Summary: Researchers have developed a comprehensive data-driven model to predict recurrent disease in thyroid cancer, utilizing the Italian Thyroid Cancer Observatory database. The decision tree model outperformed the current risk stratification system and can improve the prediction of treatment response. The inclusion of other variables can enhance the accuracy of risk assessment.

Summary: In this multicenter prospective cohort study, it was found that half of Barrett's esophagus (BE) surveillance endoscopies do not adhere to guideline recommendations. However, there was no clear association between nonadherence and endoscopic curability of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) or mortality, indicating the need for optimization of BE surveillance guidelines to minimize the burden of endoscopies.
