'Beyond its potential to enhance surgical resectability of the primary tumor, neoadjuvant immunotherapy further seeks to utilize the primary tumor as a source of antigens recognized by the immune system, inducing or enhancing systemic anti-tumor immunity to target and eliminate distant micrometastases that would otherwise become the nidus of post-surgical relapse'

Neurophilosophers - am I getting this right?
Namely: what psychologists call "processes" are what philosophers would call "things" (not processes)
The philosophical distinction between things versus processes is the idea that these are two different ways of thinking about the world. In the things way of thinking, the world is made up of just that: things – dogs, cats, me, you, this book, that pencil. In contrast, the process way of thinking shifts the emphasis from thinking about things in a static way to acknowledge the reality that everything is always changing. It's the famous idea that you can't step in the same river twice because the river you would step into a second time is a changed river and thus not the same as the one you stepped into before. From a process perspective, the idea of a thing called "a dog" or "a river" or "you" is an abstraction that captures some aspects of reality (the static aspects) but fails to capture some others (the changing ones).
One way in which the "things" way of thinking manifests in brain/mind research is the idea that there are modules that our brains flexibly combine to accomplish complex tasks; things like vision, audition, memory, attention and decision making. While these are often called "processes" by brain/mind researchers, philosophers would point out that in the way that most brain researchers think about them, they are very much "things".
'Orca hunting repertoires are enormously wide and complex. They typically share whatever they catch. Most groups specialise in hunting particular kinds of food – fish, sharks, seals, whales – and do not feed on anything else except under duress. This is not only to do with local conditions: in some areas, coastal fish-eating communities share waters with more pelagic whale-eating communities, but there is no social crossover.'

A new study suggests that fully remote workers may produce less than half the climate-warming emissions of people who spend their days in offices.

'But doctors say some people seek out these drugs to lose as much weight as possible — and are dismayed and disillusioned when they stop. Some go off the drugs after they hit their plateau. When they do, they tend to regain the weight they lost.'

'Candida auris is also on the World Health Organization’s list of priority pathogens. Last year, it said that there were “only four classes of antifungal medicines currently available, and few candidates [are] in the clinical pipeline. Most fungal pathogens lack rapid and sensitive diagnostics and those that exist are not widely available or affordable globally”.

'What distinguishes these new books isn’t just what they tell us about an extinct sub-species of humans, but the surprising passion they bring to their subject. Their authors are enraged that popular ideas about the Neanderthals lag so far behind the cutting edge of paleontological research – research that has brought the Neanderthals closer to us than they have been in 40,000 years.'
'I am revisiting these haunts, too, because I am reading Another Country for the second time, some thirty years after my first journey through its pages. As I do, I am struck by how the novel goes against many of the fictional strategies so often adopted in our commercially driven, MFA-centered literary world.'
