Summary: The global incidence of cancer and available cancer-directed therapy options is increasing rapidly, presenting patients and clinicians with more complex treatment decisions than ever before. Despite the dissemination of evidence-based communication training tools and programs, clinicians cite barriers to employing effective communication in cancer care. This article presents two composite cases with communication challenges and provides evidence-based approaches to achieve quality communication.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in developed countries and is strongly influenced by dietary habits. Inadequate fiber intake in Western countries may contribute to the increased incidence of colorectal cancer. Daily fiber intake has been inversely associated with the risk of colorectal cancer, and dietary interventions based on high-fiber diets have shown promising results in preventing the development of this type of cancer.

Summary: This meta-analysis study suggests that the Mediterranean diet has a protective effect on bladder cancer, while the Western diet has a detrimental effect. The association between the dietary-inflammatory-index and bladder cancer is inconclusive and further research is needed for confirmation.

Summary: Cancer cells predominantly utilize aerobic glycolysis for metabolism. This characteristic has led to the hypothesis that dietary manipulation, such as a ketogenic diet, can influence tumor treatment and prognosis. The effectiveness of the ketogenic diet in cancer management may be attributed to various mechanisms, beyond the originally proposed glucose/insulin signaling inhibition. A qualified nutritionist is essential in managing the potential complications of this dietary therapy.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that Mediterranean diet, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, and Dietary Guidelines-based patterns are cardioprotective against cardiovascular disease, but there is substantial heterogeneity among studies due to differences in scoring methods and analytical approaches.

Summary: The study found that a higher polygenic risk score was associated with increased bladder cancer risk, while the AHEI-2010 diet quality score was not associated with bladder cancer risk. Specific SNP (rs8102137) may modify the association between AHEI-2010 and bladder cancer risk.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic chronic disease caused by insulin resistance and insufficient insulin production, leading to high blood glucose levels. The prevalence of T2D is increasing globally due to obesity and the adoption of Western diets. Replacing animal foods with healthy plant foods has been found to be associated with a lower risk of T2D in prospective studies. In randomized controlled trials, consuming healthy plant foods instead of animal foods has shown cardiometabolic improvements in T2D patients or those at high risk of the disease.

Summary: This study introduces an innovative deep neural network, PENet, based on prior evidence, for classifying MR images of bladder cancer staging according to clinical knowledge. The research shows that providing the network with prior evidence consistent with ground truth can reduce prediction error and variance, and PENet performs better than image-based DCNN algorithms for bladder cancer staging.

Summary: Bladder cancer is a common disease worldwide, often presenting as nonmuscle invasive. Multiple recurrences of bladder cancer lead to decreased quality of life and high costs. Targeted intravesical chemotherapy using a bladder cancer-specific aptamer can reduce toxicity and enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Summary: This study investigated the association between fat intake and bladder cancer risk using data from 11 cohort studies. It found an inverse association between mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) intake and bladder cancer risk among women, and a positive association between higher dietary cholesterol intake and bladder cancer risk among men.

Summary: Climate change, rapid urbanization, war, and economic recession are key drivers of the disruptions in current food systems, worsened by COVID pandemic. Inadequate diets contribute to the triple burden of malnutrition, affecting billions of people worldwide. The high cost of nutritious diets poses a challenge in low- and middle-income countries. Urgent food system transformations are needed to provide affordable and nutritious diets to address social and environmental challenges.

Summary: This study established a risk prediction model based on PCD patterns for BLCA, which can predict patient prognosis and immunotherapy response. The prognosis model confirmed the credibility, indicating that high-risk group had worse prognosis, while the low-risk group showed better response to immunotherapy.

Summary: Bladder cancer and bladder urothelial cancer are common cancers of the urinary system. This study developed an Ensemble model to predict circRNA-Disease Associations (CDA) and screen potential biomarkers for these cancers. The model combines disease and circRNA similarity measures and evaluates circRNA-disease pairs using random walk with restart and Laplacian regularized least squares. The results show that circHIPK3 may serve as a potential biomarker for bladder cancer, while circSMARCA5 may be a possible biomarker for bladder urothelial cancer.
