KIDAPAWAN CITY — The local government has placed Kabacan town in Cotabato province under a state of calamity as 10 of its 24 villages were flooded after the Kabacan river swelled due to torrential rains last week. Vice Mayor Herlo Guzman, who presided over the Sangguniang Bayan of Kabacan, said the majority of the council members approved the declaration of a state of calamity so funds could be released immediately to help affected residents. Guzman said they planned to tap at least P1.7 million from five per cent of the town's Quick Response Funds to buy more food packs and tarpaulins for more than 5,000 displaced families.

"We have discussed in detail the clinical implications of ER in avoiding overtreatment and undertreatment in DCIS." BUFFALO, NY- August 1, 2023 – A new editorial paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on July 20, 2023, entitled, " Multiclonality of ER expression in DCIS – Implications for clinical practice and future research ." Estrogen receptor (ER) expression is not routinely evaluated in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This may be because the prognostic role of ER in DCIS was unclear until the UK/ ANZ DCIS trial in 2021 showed that lack of ER expression in DCIS was associated with a greater than 3-fold risk of ipsilateral recurrence.
