The PALLiON trial, a cluster-randomized trial, assessed the impact of a complex intervention on frequency of EoL treatment; the intervention involved palliative care referrals and the use of PROMs. The present secondary analysis evaluated the prognostic value of baseline performance status (PS), albumin (alb), C-reactive protein (CRP), and body mass index (BMI) for overall survival, comparing pancreatic (PAN, n = 189) vs. other gastrointestinal cancer patients (GI, n = 286). Baseline PS, alb, CRP, mGPS (modified Glasgow prognostic score), and BMI were analyzed using Cox regression. Adjusted for age, sex, and hospital size, PS ≥ 2 and alb < 35 g/L predicted shorter survival in both PAN and GI cancers, while CRP > 10 predicted shorter survival only in GI cancers. In PAN, PS ≥ 2 predicted a 78.4% higher probability of shorter survival, and mGPS 2 predicted a 68.7% higher probability. In GI, mGPS 2 predicted a 70.8% higher probability, whereas PS was not significant. BMI did not improve predictive models.

There is a need for therapeutic approaches that lead to long-lasting responses and improved quality of life and survival. Mogamulizumab, a humanized antibody against the CCR4 molecule, and low-dose total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) are two known established treatments for MF and SS as a monotherapy. However, little is known about the potential additive effect on the combination of both treatments. We report here for the first time the concurrent use of low-dose hypofractionated TSEBT (2 × 4 Gy) with mogamulizumab. Based on two relapsed/refractory and advanced-stage CTCL patients, we show that this combination may be well tolerated in advanced-stage MF or SS and may potentially lead to an additive treatment effect on response times, particularly in the skin and blood within two weeks. We propose that this combination may be a treatment option for patients with SS. Further research is needed to understand the efficacy and tolerability profile of this therapeutic combination and to determine if there is an additive effect of the combination on the response rates when compared with the monotherapy.","PeriodicalId":11012,"journal":{"name":"Current oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the potential association of these treatment modalities with bone marrow (BM) suppression remains inadequately reported in the existing literature. This study is designed to comprehensively evaluate the risk of myelosuppression associated with PRT, shedding light on an aspect that has been underrepresented in prior research. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 600 patients with prostate cancer (PCa) treated with prostate radiotherapy (PRT) at a single oncology center between 2007 and 2017. Patients were categorized into four cohorts: PRT alone (n = 149), PRT + ADT, (n = 91), PRT + PNRT (n = 39), and PRT + PNRT + ADT (n = 321). To assess the risk of myelosuppression, we scrutinized specific blood parameters, such as hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cells (WBCs), neutrophils (NEUT), lymphocytes (LYM), and platelets (PLT) at baseline, mid-treatment (mRT), immediately post-RT (pRT), 1 month post-RT (1M-pRT), and 1 year post-RT (1Y-pRT). The inter-cohort statistical significance was evaluated with further stratification based on the utilized RT technique {3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)}. Results: Significant statistical differences at baseline were observed in HGB and LYM values among all cohorts (p < 0.05). Patients in the PRT + PNRT + ADT cohort had significantly lower HGB at baseline and 1M-pRT. In patients undergoing ADT, BMS had a significant impact at 1M-pRT {odds ratio (OR) 9.1; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 4.8–17.1} and at 1Y-pRT (OR 2.84; CI 1.14–7.08). The use of 3D-CRT was linked to reduced HGB levels in the PRT + PNRT + ADT group at 1 month pRT (p = 0.015). Similarly, PNRT significantly impacted BMS at 1M-pRT (OR 6.7; CI 2.6–17.2). PNRT increased the odds of decreased WBC counts at 1Y-pRT (OR 6.83; CI: 1.02–45.82). Treatment with any RT techniques (3D-CRT or IMRT), particularly in the PRT + PNRT and PRT + PNRT + ADT groups, significantly increased the odds of low LYM counts at all time points except immediately pRT (p < 0.05). Furthermore, NEUT counts were considerably lower at 1M-pRT (p < 0.05) in the PRT + PNRT + ADT group. PLT counts were significantly decreased by PRT + PNRT + ADT at mRT (OR 2.57; 95% CI: 1.42–4.66) but were not significantly impacted by the RT technique. Conclusions: Treatment with PRT, ADT, PNRT, and 3D-CRT is associated with BMS. Despite this statistically significant risk, no patient required additional interventions to manage the outcome. While its clinical impact appears limited, its importance cannot be underestimated in the context of increased integration of novel systemic agents with myelosuppressive properties. Longer follow-up should be considered in future studies.","PeriodicalId":11012,"journal":{"name":"Current oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermoablative methods like radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA), when combined with vertebroplasty (VP), are proving increasingly beneficial for these patients. Methods: The search was independently conducted by two radiologists on MEDLINE databases, using specified strings up to April 2024. Methodological quality was assessed using PRISMA guidelines. Studies meeting inclusion criteria investigated thermoablation techniques (RFA and/or MWA) combined with VP, focusing on pain management and disease control outcomes in adults. Results: Among 147 results, 42 articles met the criteria, with varied prospective and retrospective designs and sample sizes averaging 49 patients, predominantly involving RFA (30 studies), MWA (11 studies), and one comparative study. Our review highlights significant pain reduction, effective local tumor control, and favorable safety of combined RFA or MWA with VP, supporting its potential in managing vertebral pathologies and warranting further clinical integration. Conclusions: The combined treatment of RFA/MWA with VP demonstrates significant pain reduction and local tumor control, with a rapid onset of analgesic effect. These findings support its crucial role in clinical practice for managing vertebral metastases.","PeriodicalId":11012,"journal":{"name":"Current oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HPV testing is superior to cytology for the detection of cervical pre-cancer, and jurisdictions around the world are implementing HPV primary screening, which offers the opportunity for self-screening, an important self-care intervention. Digital health solutions are also increasingly important components of self-care. In this study, we assessed the acceptability and completion of self-screening for cervical cancer offered through a digital platform within a low screening uptake region of British Columbia. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the acceptability of self-screening for cervical cancer offered through a digital platform as measured by return rates of self-screening kits. Patients due or overdue for cervix screening were invited to participate. Eligible participants registered online to receive a self-screening kit, which included a device for vaginal self-screening, instructions, and a return envelope, sent to their home. After self-screening using the vaginal device, HPV testing was conducted. HPV-negative participants were returned to routine screening, and HPV-positive participants were recommended for cytology or colposcopy. Attendance rates at follow-up were evaluated. Participants were invited to complete an acceptability survey. From April 2019 to December 2023, 283 participants were sent kits, with 207 kits returned for a completion rate of 73%. Of valid samples (n = 202), 15 were HPV positive, and 93% attended follow-up care. Most respondents found the CervixCheck website easy to use, informative, and secure and were satisfied with receiving their results online. CervixCheck had a high completion rate among participants who were sent a self-screening kit. High compliance with recommended follow-up and high acceptability of self-screening for cervical cancer was observed. Most participants indicated they would self-screen again in the future. Innovative approaches to cervical screening, including self-screening and the use of digital health interventions, are ways to enhance equity and improve uptake of cervical screening.","PeriodicalId":11012,"journal":{"name":"Current oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The standard of care for primary disease consists of surgical resection with/without chemotherapy ± radiotherapy for select patients. Recurrence is common in patients with advanced-stage disease and/or high-risk features, who primarily are treated with systemic therapy. The identification of novel targets in malignant EC has led to the development of wide-range inhibitors. Abemaciclib is an orally active unique cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, selective for the CDK4 and CDK6 cell cycle pathways. This agent has potential anti-neoplastic activity and is indicated in combination with various therapies such as endocrine therapy, aromatase inhibitors, and hormone therapies, primarily in breast cancer (BC). Herein, we sought to summarize the biochemical/pharmacological properties of abemaciclib and its therapeutic potential in EC. While the therapeutic role(s) of abemaciclib was fairly established in a subset of patients with advanced/metastatic BC through the pivotal MONARCH trials, its attributes and clinical utility in EC are limited. Thus, based on some promising pre-clinical/translational insights and a recent phase II study, we highlight abemaciclib’s properties and potential clinical usefulness in patients with EC, particularly in recurrent estrogen-receptor-positive cases.","PeriodicalId":11012,"journal":{"name":"Current oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While oligometastatic cardiac disease is rarely reported, it poses a unique challenge as oligometastatic sarcomas are often managed with surgical resection. Case Report: We present a case of a 62-year-old man diagnosed with an oligometastatic myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) to the heart 19 years after the primary tumor resection from the lower limb. The metastatic mass, situated in the pericardium adjacent and infiltrating the left ventricle, was not managed surgically but with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient’s disease remains stable to date, for more than 10 years. Literature Review: We conducted a review of the literature to determine the preferred management approach for solitary cardiac metastases of sarcomas. We also conducted an in-depth analysis focusing on reported cases of MLPS metastasizing to the heart, aiming to extract pertinent data regarding the patient characteristics and the corresponding management strategies. Conclusions: Although clinical diagnoses of solitary or oligometastatic cardiac metastases from sarcomas are infrequent, this case underscores the significance of aggressive management employing chemotherapy and radiotherapy for chemosensitive and radiosensitive sarcomas, especially when surgical removal is high-risk. Furthermore, it challenges the notion that surgery is the exclusive therapeutic option leading to long-term clinical benefit in patients with recurrent sarcomas.","PeriodicalId":11012,"journal":{"name":"Current oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand cancer patients’ attitudes and willingness to participate in clinical trials, solid tumor patients attending their clinic visits were invited to complete a survey. The survey included questions on demographics, previous trial participation, and future trial interest. Responses were analyzed with frequency tables and chi-square tests. Of 300 participants, only 96 (32%) were asked to participate in a clinical trial. Of these, 81 (84%) chose to participate and 15 (16%) did not. There were notable differences by race but not gender or education level. Of the 204 who had never been asked to participate, 70% indicated that they would be willing to participate in future, and there was a strong sex–race interaction. Non-White males were the most hesitant group. Of 204, 99% indicated that they would participate to access new treatments, and 57% would participate to contribute to research overall. This study shows that many solid tumor patients undergoing treatment are not offered clinical trials. Racial differences in attitudes toward trial participation are evident. Nonetheless, many patients are willing to participate in trials to access innovative treatments and to support research. Culturally relevant outreach to build trust with minority groups is needed to increase overall participation in clinical trials.","PeriodicalId":11012,"journal":{"name":"Current oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The image analysis outputs were subsampled using a hexagonal grid-based method to assess spatial distribution of CD8+ lymphocytes with regards to the epithelial edges. The CD8+ lymphocyte density indicators, along with clinical, radiological, post-surgical and pathological variables, were tested to predict HCC relapse. Low standard deviation of CD8+ density along the tumor edge and R1 resection emerged as independent predictors of shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS). In particular, patients presenting with both adverse predictors exhibited 100% risk of relapse within 200 days. Our results highlight the potential utility of integrating CD8+ density variability and surgical margin to identify a high relapse-risk group among Milan criteria-fulfilling HCC patients.
