Symmetric Double Normal Models for Censored, Bounded, and Survival Data: Theory, Estimation, and Applications

Mathematics
We develop a unified likelihood-based framework for limited outcomes built on the two-piece normal family. The framework includes a censored specification that accommodates boundary inflation, a doubly truncated specification on (0,1) for rates and ...

Consumers' Willingness to Pay a Premium for Climate‐Friendly Food Production: The Role of Production Method Information and Social Norms

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether information about production methods and social norms can increase consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a price premium for food produced using climate‐friendly farming methods. A randomized survey experiment was conducted with 1568 respondents across Denmark, Lithuania, and Spain, who were assigned to one of four ...

Potential Survival Benefit of Neoadjuvant Docetaxel, Cisplatin and 5‐Fluorouracil Therapy in Patients With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Multiple Lymph Node Metastases: A Single‐Institute Propensity Score Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy with fluorouracil, cisplatin, and docetaxel (NAC‐DCF) is the current standard neoadjuvant regimen for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, its substantial toxicity underscores the need to identify patients who derive the greatest benefit.

Clinical Significance of PD‐L1 and HLA Expression in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Response to Immunotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study evaluated immune‐related biomarkers in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors after postoperative recurrence. PD‐L1 expression in tumor‐associated macrophages and tumor cells, together with HLA class I downregulation and HLA‐DR expression, were associated with favorable responses to immunotherapy.

Return‐To‐Work and Working Status After Surgery for Gastric and Esophageal Cancer: A Prospective Observational Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicenter prospective study of 158 working‐age patients undergoing curative‐intent surgery for gastric or esophageal cancer, 78.5% were working at 18 months. Postoperative appetite loss, financial difficulties, and ≥ 10% weight loss at 6 months were associated with non‐working status.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen Messenger RNA in Pelvic Lavage Fluid Predicts Local Recurrence After Curative‐Intent Resection of Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Pelvic lavage carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA was quantified in 178 patients undergoing curative‐intent resection for rectal cancer. Positive pelvic lavage CEA mRNA was significantly associated with local recurrence and provided additional prognostic information beyond circumferential resection margin (CRM) status.

Interaction Between Operator and Assistant Certification Is Associated With Local Recurrence After Laparoscopic Rectal Cancer Surgery: An Ancillary Analysis of the EnSSURE Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
A significant synergistic interaction between operator and assistant certification was associated with a lower risk of local recurrence after laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. Patients treated by both ESSQS‐qualified operators and assistants had the lowest risk of local recurrence, whereas a single qualification alone was not associated with a ...
