However, PROs may not fully capture tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-specific AEs in metastatic NSCLC patients. This study evaluated coverage of TKI-related symptomatic AEs by commonly used PRO item libraries. Methods We compiled a list of FDA-approved TKIs for NSCLC with alterations in EGFR, ALK, ROS1, RET, MET, and NTRK. Symptomatic AEs were extracted from clinical trials reported in US Prescribing Information (ie,, drug labels). The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), and Patient-Reported Outcomes Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) item libraries were searched for items corresponding to extracted AEs. Items were classified according to the AE’s physical, functional, or social/emotional impact. Results Data from 17 drug labels covering 29 clinical trials of 17 TKIs were analyzed. By TKI, EORTC covered the highest average percentage of AEs (99%), followed by PRO-CTCAE (86%), and PROMIS (47%). Of the 15 most common AEs, 8 were covered by all 3 item libraries. EORTC and PRO-CTCAE covered 15 AEs, whereas PROMIS covered 8. Of the 8 AEs covered by all 3 libraries, PROMIS included the most items assessing functional and social/emotional impact. Conclusions EORTC and PRO-CTCAE covered more symptomatic AEs than PROMIS. For the AEs it covered, PROMIS had the most items assessing functional and social/emotional impact. Our assessment is a starting point for improving PRO coverage of AEs associated with new treatments like TKIs.","PeriodicalId":501635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Cancer Institute","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143910568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods PubMed and Embase were searched from inception to September 2024. Summary relative risk (SRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Results Lower all-cause mortality was observed with unprocessed red meat (SRR 0.74, 95%CI 0.57-0.94), whole grains (SRR 0.77, 95%CI 0.66-0.90), coffee (SRR 0.65, 95%CI 0.55-0.77), milk (SRR 0.82, 95%CI 0.71-0.93), low-fat dairy (SRR 0.77, 95%CI 0.64-0.94), total calcium (SRR 0.76, 95%CI 0.61-0.94), alcohol intake under 45 g/day (J-shaped association), and physical activity (SRR 0.55, 95%CI 0.44-0.69).

We aim to describe the prevalence of a parental cancer history with and without the utilization of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in several states in the United States. Methods This study used data from IVF cycles resulting in live births reported to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System from 2004 to 2018. These were linked to birth certificates and cancer registries in 3 states (New York, Massachusetts, and North Carolina). For each IVF-conceived delivery, the subsequent 10 deliveries were used as the naturally conceived comparison group. A parent’s cancer history was included if the diagnosis preceded the birth of the first child. Results There were 814 658 births (82 544 IVF-conceived and 732 114 naturally conceived births) in our analysis. Among births conceived naturally, 0.5% of mothers and 0.4% of fathers had a cancer history compared with 1.2% of mothers and 1.8% of fathers among IVF-conceived births. The prevalence of cancer history increased over the study period (P ≤.004). The most common cancers among mothers were thyroid or endocrine (28.7%) and breast (12.2%) vs male genital (26.3%) and thyroid or endocrine (9.1%) among fathers. There were higher rates of male and female genital malignancies, female breast, and female lymphoid or hematopoietic cancers among parents who conceived with IVF (P < .001). Conclusions Overall, 1.1% of all births and 3.0% of IVF-conceived births had at least 1 parent with a cancer history with an increasing prevalence over the study period, highlighting the importance of oncofertility programs.","PeriodicalId":501635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Cancer Institute","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Using the 2001-2020 US Cancer Statistics database, we estimated age-standardized IRs cervical carcinoma, oropharyngeal, anal, vaginal, vulvar, and penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) by race and ethnicity. We examined changes over time by comparing IRs in 2016-2020 with 2001-2005.

Pregnant mothers completed in-person interviews at enrollment (1959–1966) and reported demographic and health-related information for her and her husband, including occupation. Colorectal cancer in adult (age ≥18 years) offspring was ascertained from a population-based cancer registry.

While robot-assisted surgery may offer technical advantages, there is limited evidence comparing short-term outcomes of laparoscopic and robot-assisted techniques, particularly in Western European populations. This study aimed to assess the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic vs robot-assisted total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. Methods This multicentre, international, retrospective cohort study included 1749 patients who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted total mesorectal excision from January 2014 to January 2024. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was applied to minimise confounding. Primary outcomes were length of stay, operative time, and conversion rates. Secondary outcomes included complications and pathological outcomes within 90 days, and readmissions and reinterventions within 30 days. Results The final cohort included 680.9 laparoscopic and 1057.5 robot-assisted cases after weighting. Robot-assisted surgery showed lower conversion rates (6.1% vs 3.5%, p = .025), higher rates of primary anastomosis (80.1% vs 92.1%, p &lt; .001), and fewer stoma formations (78.4% vs 63.7%, p &lt; .001). Pathological outcomes indicated a higher rate of complete mesorectal excision in the robot-assisted group (77.2% vs 86.0%, p &lt; .001), though this data was not available for all centres. Operative time was longer in the robot-assisted cohort (181.0 vs 220.0 minutes, p &lt; .001), but no significant differences were observed in postoperative complications, length of stay, anastomotic leakage or 30-day reintervention rates. Conclusion Robot-assisted surgery low anterior resection demonstrated improved short-term outcomes with lower conversion rates, higher rates of complete mesorectal excision, and higher restorative procedure rates, which may influence longer-term oncological and patient quality of life outcomes.
