The SIOP 2001 protocol recommended surgery after neoadjuvant cycle(s) of Dactinomycin and Vincristine (AV) with response-adapted intensification, if needed. Adjuvant treatment was given based on the lesion with the worst histology. Three hundred and twenty seven patients with stage V disease were evaluable: 174 had bilateral Wilms tumour (BWT), 101 unilateral WT and contralateral nephroblastomatosis (NB) and 52 bilateral nephroblastomatosis. In these three groups, the estimated 5y-EFS was 76.1%, 84.6%, and 74.9%, respectively. AV chemotherapy alone was the successful chemotherapy for 58.7% of all the patients and 65.6% of the non-metastatic patients. Among the 174 patients with BWT, 149 (88.2%) had at least one nephron-sparing surgery. Twenty of 61 bilateral stage I patients were treated with four-week AV postoperatively achieving 94.4% 5y-EFS. At last follow-up, 87% of patients had normal renal function. This study demonstrates that AV without anthracyclines is sufficient to achieve NSS and good survival in the majority of patients.

The search strategy comprised words related to cancer, opioid misuse, and frequency. PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, and Cinahl were searched from inception to July 2023. Prospective studies were selected and analysed regarding frequency, study characteristics, and quality. A meta-analysis was possible to carry out for a sub-group (opioid misuse risk). From 585 abstracts screened, six articles were included. Only prevalence data were found. The prevalence of opioid misuse ranged from 5.7% to 84%, while the prevalence of opioid misuse risk varied from 2.4% to 35.4%. The pooled prevalence of opioid misuse risk was 12.3% (95% CI: 0.8–36.3; I2 = 98.4%, 95% CI: 97.2–99.1). The studies differed regarding, e.g., methods, misuse definitions, and assessment instruments.

It still leaves open the question of whether the integration of HBV DNA into the B-cell genome is a causal mechanism in the development of lymphoma. Using the hybridisation capture-based next generation sequencing and RNA sequencing, we characterised the HBV integration pattern in 45 HBV-associated B-cell NHL tumour tissues. A total of 354 HBV integration sites were identified in 13 (28.9%) samples, indicating the relatively low integration frequency in B-cell NHLs. High plasma HBV DNA loads were not associated with the existence of HBV integration. The insertion sites distributed randomly across all the lymphoma genome without any preferential hotspot neither at the chromosomal level nor at the genetic level. Intriguingly, most HBV integrations were nonclonal in B-cell NHLs, implying that they did not confer a survival advantage. Analysis of the paired diagnosis-relapse samples showed the unstable status of HBV integrations during disease progression. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis revealed the limited biological impact of HBV integration. Our study provides an unbiased HBV integration map in B-cell NHLs, revealing the insignificant role of HBV DNA integration in B-cell lymphomagenesis.","PeriodicalId":9243,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141723159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants (73% non-Hispanic Black; 60% income < $15,000) were recruited between 2002–2009. Diabetes was self-reported at enrollment and follow-up surveys at approximately 5-year intervals. Incident CRC and mortality were identified via state registries and the National Death Index. Proportional hazards models calculated associations between diabetes with overall, CRC-specific mortality among 1059 participants with incident CRC. Diabetes prior to diagnosis is associated with elevated overall (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: (1.46[1.22–1.75]), and CRC-specific mortality (1.36[1.06–1.74])) after adjustment for tumor stage. For non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White participants, consistent associations were observed for overall (1.35[1.10–1.66] vs. 1.89[1.31–2.72], respectively, p-interaction = 0.11) and CRC-specific mortality (1.30[0.99–1.71] vs. 1.77[1.06–2.95], respectively, p-interaction = 0.28). For individuals with incomes <$15,000/year, associations with overall (1.44[1.15–1.79]) and CRC-specific mortality (1.28[0.94–1.73]) were similar to the full sample.
