This Korean clinical practice guideline (2024), jointly developed by KSRNT and NECA, provides evidence-based recommendations for tobacco use treatment.Covering 30 key questions, it addresses pharmacologic options (varenicline, NRT, bupropion, combinations), non-pharmacologic methods (counseling, CBT, apps, messaging, financial incentives), and tailored strategies for special populations (patients with TB, lung cancer, cardiovascular or mental illness, surgical candidates, and users of e-cigarettes/HTPs).Developed through systematic reviews and GRADE methodology, it balances benefits, risks, feasibility, and patient preferences.The guideline offers practical strategies for clinical care and policy, aiming to reduce smoking-related morbidity and mortality in Korea. Predicting Pathologic Complete Response Using Breast MRI After Completion of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients WithResidual Calcifications on Mammography.Kim SH, et al.This study evaluated predictors of pathologic complete response (pCR) and surgical strategies for breast cancer patients with residual suspicious calcifications after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Among 243 patients, the overall pCR rate was 33.7%, highest in HR-/HER2+ (59.1%) and lowest in HR+/HER2-(3.8%).MRI partial response predicted lower pCR,
