Despite this, people living with HIV (PLWH) are often excluded from clinical trials. Here we analyze the change in clinical trial exclusion among PLWH resulting from multilateral advocacy efforts since 2017.Methods: We identified all US-based clinical trials with the keyword \"lymphoma\" with start dates between January 01, 2014 and January 04, 2025 using the publicly available NIH Clinical Trial Database (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/). All studies with aggressive B-cell NHL subtypes were included. Regression models were performed to analyze descriptive factors.Results: 1,973 US-based clinical trials were captured, of which 945 met criteria for further analysis. PLWH were excluded from 59% pre-2018 versus 48% post-2018. After multivariate adjustment, NIH-funded trials (24% exclusion rate, p < 0.001), other funders (64% exclusion rate), and studies initiated post-2018 (48% exclusion rate, p < 0.001) were associated with inclusion, while CAR-T-related studies (62% exclusion rate, p < 0.05) were associated with exclusion.Conclusions: Likely partly due to advocacy from ASCO, NCI, and NCCN, there was a significant decrease in exclusion among PLWH in US-based NHL clinical trials. Future research should analyze the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy in PLWH to foster inclusion and reduce stigma among physicians and researchers.","PeriodicalId":9463,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143373845","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}

This study aims to identify and analyze the search for healthcare related to the prevention of breast/gynecological cancer among Brazilian lesbian cisgender women who have not had the disease. Seven lesbian women participated in this qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and subsequently transcribed and analyzed following the reflexive thematic analysis approach and the theoretical framework of gender studies. Two thematic axes were constructed: gynecological appointments, which includes the subthemes follow-ups, types of exams, and struggles with the healthcare system, and meeting health professionals, which includes relationships with professionals, searching for professionals, discussing sexual orientation, and (un)preparedness. The participants in this study reported visiting a gynecologist at least once and doing preventive exams, although the frequency of these appointments varied for each woman. However, they highlighted that healthcare providers are not adequately prepared to address the needs of lesbian women and to talk about sexual orientation.","PeriodicalId":9463,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143045679","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}

In low-resource settings, where healthcare disparities are exacerbated by limited resources, cost-effective and efficient diagnostic methods are essential for bridging these gaps and ensuring better outcomes. Among the diagnostic tools evaluated among 23 patients sample, RT-PCR demonstrated superior sensitivity (100%) and the shortest turnaround time (7 days), significantly outperforming FISH and karyotyping in both accuracy and timeliness. This capability of RT-PCR to provide reliable and rapid results enables earlier treatment initiation, which is critical in managing these aggressive leukemias. Simplified statistical reporting underscores RT-PCR's unmatched sensitivity, while FISH and karyotyping, though useful, showed moderate performance with longer delays. By adopting RT-PCR as the primary diagnostic tool in LMICs, healthcare systems can make faster and more accurate treatment decisions, reduce overall treatment costs by avoiding diagnostic delays, and ultimately improve survival rates in pediatric leukemia patients.","PeriodicalId":9463,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143027994","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}

Dysregulation of apoptosis is implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune conditions. This review provides an in-depth insight into the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways that regulate apoptosis, highlighting both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Additionally, the review explains the tumor microenvironment's influence on apoptosis and its implications for cancer therapy resistance. Understanding the complex interplay between apoptotic signaling and cellular responses is crucial for developing targeted therapies that can effectively manage diseases associated with apoptosis dysregulation. The effects of conventional therapeutics and alternative substances with natural sources such as herbal compounds, alongside vitamins, minerals, and trace elements on cellular homeostasis and disease pathogenesis have been thoroughly investigated. Moreover, recent advances in therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating apoptosis are discussed, with a focus on novel interventions such as nutrition bio shield dietary supplement. These emerging approaches offer potential benefits beyond conventional treatments by selectively targeting apoptotic pathways to inhibit cancer progression and metastasis. By integrating insights from recent studies, this review aims to enhance our understanding of apoptosis and guide future research in developing innovative therapeutic approaches.","PeriodicalId":9463,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"33-58"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930549","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 prognostic significance of VH in ICC is debated, and no data are available regarding a predictive role for standard first-line CT (CT1), consisting of gemcitabine +/- platinoids.

Five different VH conditions, based on laboratory and anamnestic data, were investigated in a multicentric retrospective cohort of advanced ICC cases. Depending on the specific VH condition considered, 139-194 of 472 ICC cases could be categorized according to the presence of the mentioned VH conditions. VH prevalence ranged from 9.3 to 25.3%. No VH condition showed an impact on survival, although a non-significant worse outcome was observed for some HBV-related conditions. HCV-related conditions were associated to lower pre-CT1 biomarkers of inflammation, markedly higher disease control, and numerically longer time-to-progression with CT1. No benefit on time-to-progression was demonstrated for the addition of platinoids to gemcitabine in VH-positive patients (HR 0.77, CI95% 0.41-1.45), at least in HBV-related cases.
