This study examined whether the initiative was associated with increased smoking cessation. Methods States in the United States were categorized into 3 groups: California, 18 other states (including the District of Columbia) that raised taxes, and 32 states that did not raise taxes. Tax and price increases, tobacco prevention spending per capita, 3-month smoking cessation rates using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (N = 443 054), and the proportion of daily smoking were compared for 2014-2016 and 2017-2019 for these groups. Results California had the largest increases in cigarette price (30.8%) and tobacco prevention spending (271.9%), both adjusted for inflation. Other states that raised taxes experienced price increases of 6.3% on average. The 3-month smoking cessation rate in California increased from 11.5% in 2014-2016 to 14.2% in 2017-2019 (P = .005). Among other states that raised taxes in that timeframe, cessation rates did not change significantly, from 8.6% to 8.7% (P = .755). Among states that did not raise taxes, cessation rates declined significantly, from 9.5% to 9.0% (P = .026). California also had a significant reduction in the proportion of daily smokers among those who did not quit (from 60.4% to 56.4%, P = .012). Conclusions A major cigarette tax increase was associated with increased smoking cessation in California. Policies increasing tobacco taxes and re-investing new revenue in tobacco prevention can increase population cessation.","PeriodicalId":501635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Cancer Institute","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144500626","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}

One of the most relevant known causes of cancer in this age group, which is present in approximately 10% of cancer patients, is genetic cancer predisposition that originates from constitutional or postzygotic somatic (epi-)genetic variants leading to an increased cancer risk compared to the general population. The diagnosis of a cancer predisposition syndrome is important as it can affect cancer surveillance, prevention, and therapy. Universal gene-panel germline sequencing is offered by some centers, however, in clinical settings with limited resources, cancer predisposition syndrome screening tools can support the identification of those cancer patients who may benefit from genetic counselling and/or testing regarding underlying genetic diseases. Effective screening tools have been developed for children with cancer, but comparable cancer predisposition syndrome screening algorithms are lacking for young adults with cancer. We present here an easy-to-use cancer predisposition syndrome screening tool designed specifically for young adults with cancer. By combining available recommendations and disease-specific criteria, the algorithm is focusing on somatic genetic findings in malignant cells, specific cancer types strongly associated with cancer predisposition syndromes, and the personal and family past medical history. This tool may increase clinical awareness among oncologists and facilitate the diagnoses of cancer predisposition syndromes in young adults with cancer.","PeriodicalId":501635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Cancer Institute","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144478749","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}

This review synthesised evidence on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of stepped-care interventions delivered to manage therapy-related symptoms in cancer populations compared to care-as-usual (CAU).METHODSSystematic searches were conducted in MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database, and EconLit to identify studies published from Jan 2010 to Nov 2024. Peer-reviewed studies that reported outcomes of stepped interventions and CAU were included, and quality appraisal was performed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 and the Risk of Bias In Non-Randomised Studies-of Interventions tools.RESULTSThe review summarises a total of 22 studies, involving 4,588 unique adult cancer survivors. Fourteen studies identified statistically significant improvements in symptom severity and clinical outcomes comparable to those of CAU. The stepped-care group showed reduced mean severity scores for distress, insomnia and fatigue, as well as improved stress reactions and emotional reactivity, and fewer palliative care visits. The Low uptake of the intervention and inadequate assessment of comorbid symptoms have hindered the ability to draw conclusive recommendations across several studies. Four studies reported cost-effectiveness evidence, which showed cost savings of approximately €19,991 for each point improvement on the distress scale and lower incremental costs of approximately €3,950 associated with stepped-care interventions.CONCLUSIONSThis review highlights the potential clinical and economic benefits of implementing stepped-care interventions to reduce the severity of cancer-related symptoms. Further research is warranted to determine the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of stepped-care interventions in representative cancer populations and routine clinical care settings.","PeriodicalId":501635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Cancer Institute","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144488095","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}

The objective of this study was to link COG trial data with the NCCR to evaluate overall enrollment patterns. Methods Data were received from the NCCR and COG, which were linked using an array of variables and then compared to evaluate enrollment patterns in COG studies from 2007-2018. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify characteristics associated with not being enrolled in a COG study. Results Among 134,696 NCCR cancer patients, 51,062 matched with COG study enrollees. There were several differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between those enrolled and not enrolled in COG studies. Enrollment was higher among children aged 0-4 years compared to adolescents aged 15-19 years (53.7% vs 20.1%). Differences by race/ethnicity were also observed; for example, those who identified as non-Hispanic White were more likely to be enrolled than those who identified as non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander (38.8% vs 32.9%). In a multivariable logistic regression model, several characteristics were significantly associated with not being enrolled in a COG study, including age at diagnosis, year of diagnosis, race/ethnicity, and cancer type. Conclusion Our results suggest that several groups are underrepresented in COG clinical trials. This information can help guide the prioritization of population groups for engagement in future studies.","PeriodicalId":501635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Cancer Institute","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144288374","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}

The aim of this project was to deliver a national multi-disciplinary expert consensus on patients with rHNSCC managed by curative salvage surgery. Methods The AGREEII protocol guided the Delphi process. Best practice statements were developed after literature review on the perioperative management and surgical salvage of major rHNSCC subsites. Members of the International centre for Recurrent head and neck cancer (IREC) network, and other UK based professional stakeholder organisations were invited into an online Delphi study. Participants voted upon statements over three rounds, with items modified in response to vote thresholds and comments. Results Twenty-eight experts participated including 11 otolaryngologists, 7 oncologists, 9 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and 1 speech and language therapist. Consensus was achieved on 73 statements, with 29 (39.7%) achieving unanimous (threshold: 100%) and 25 (34.2%) (threshold >90%) agreement. Conclusions Salvage surgery for rHNSCC are challenging cases that require intensive multidisciplinary input to achieve cure while balancing impact on function and quality-of-life. In this article, we provide a large series of statements based on UK-wide expert consensus, that will guide clinicians through the complex intra- and perioperative management of patients undergoing surgical salvage.","PeriodicalId":501635,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the National Cancer Institute","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144288375","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}
