Importance Young women with breast cancer who have germline pathogenic variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2 face unique challenges regarding fertility. Previous studies demonstrating the feasibility and safety of pregnancy survivors included limited data BRCA carriers. Objective To investigate cumulative incidence disease-free survival young are Design, Setting, Participants International, multicenter, hospital-based, retrospective cohort study conducted at 78 participating centers worldwide. The...
Abstract Background Breast cancer (BC) in women aged ≤40 years carrying germline pathogenetic variants (PVs) BRCA1/2 genes is infrequent but often associated with aggressive features. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)‐low‐expressing BC has recently emerged as a novel therapeutic target not been characterized this rare patient subset. Methods Women newly diagnosed early‐stage HER2‐negative (HER2‐0 and HER2‐low) PVs from 78 health care centers worldwide were retrospectively...
Abstract The question raised in this paper is whether and how some core features of income distribution, e.g. the levels or inequality, should be relevant decision to privatize public firms. provides a first answer framework mixed oligopoly theory. In particular, we show that scope for privatization widened when market poorer, incomes become more concentrated. These unexpected results are accounted terms way distributional shocks alter allocative inefficiency imperfectly competitive markets.
We investigate how market competition affects the incentive to adopt a non-profit-maximizing behaviour. The analysis is developed in strategic delegation framework which owners delegate output decisions managers interested firm's relative performance. study optimal scheme affected by concentration and elasticity of demand. prove that distortion from profit-maximizing rule decreases as becomes less concentrated, while it increases demand more elastic. Finally, we discuss impact...
The paper analyses the effects of income concentration on behaviour a duopoly with vertical product differentiation and uncovered market. By using trapezoid distribution, we solve explicitly for market equilibrium as function mean preserving spread distribution. We show that overall more concentrated incomes imply stronger differentiation, presence large share middle-income consumers stimulates price competition, whose are dampened through an enlargement quality spread. While high-quality...
In Europe, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had its first epicenter in Italy. Despite a significant mortality rate, severity of most cases COVID-19 infection ranges from asymptomatic to mildly symptomatic, and silent affects still-unknown proportion general population. No information is available on prevalence clinical impact among patients with cancer receiving anticancer treatment during pandemic.
Background: Meningeal carcinomatosis is rare in patients with kidney cancer and treatment options are limited. Few treated systemic approaches have been reported. We describe a case of complete remission leptomeningeal metastasis patient renal cell carcinoma nivolumab. To our knowledge, this the first report nivolumab safety efficacy particular site metastasis. Case presentation: Our was 60-year-old Caucasian man bone lung metastases from carcinoma. He developed progression lesions after...
Abstract Income distribution affects market demand and its elasticity, and, as a consequence, the optimal behaviour of firms equilibrium. This paper focuses on effects income polarization, presents model where ± for any unimodal density function describing consumers polarization leads to concentration, i.e., smaller number able survive in long run, provided that firms' fixed costs are sufficiently low.
We introduce non-homothetic preferences in the Dixit–Stiglitz model of monopolistic competition, and enquire about effects a change income dispersion on firms’ optimal decisions market equilibrium. Income dispersion, modeled as mean preserving spread, is shown to affect only degree product differentiation under standard negligibility hypothesis decision making process, while it generates positive co-movement demand elasticity, when this assumption removed price index effect taken into account.
Abstract. We investigate the bearings of level demand on firms' optimal locations and prices in a linear model spatial differentiation with quadratic disutility transportation. show that affects both firms, firms increase product only if is high enough to trigger price war. Otherwise, non-cooperative duopoly equilibrium observationally equivalent monopoly optimum same number products. Contrary transportation cost case, are everywhere increasing reservation price.
In The Economics of Imperfect Competition , Joan Robinson argued that an increase the consumers’ incomes should make demand less elastic—which, although reasonable about individual as assumption on preferences, suggests a role for income distribution far market is concerned. We use Esteban's ( International Economic Review Vol. 27 (1986), No. 2, pp. 439–444) share elasticity to provide sufficient conditions support ‘Robinson effect’—i.e. such negative (positive) relationship between and...
