Association between race and treatment patterns and survival outcomes in multiple myeloma: A connect MM registry analysis
Background Studies have reported racial disparities in access to and use of multiple myeloma (MM) treatments between African American (AA) and White patients. Although AA patients demonstrate longer disease‐specific survival, this has not uniformly translated into improved survival over time. The association between race and treatment patterns and survival outcomes was analyzed using data from the Connect MM Registry. Methods The Connect MM Registry is a large US, multicenter, prospective...

Impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on perioperative morbidity after major surgery for head and neck cancer
Background Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been used in patients with advanced head and neck cancers (HNCs) with the intent of downstaging tumors and suppressing distant metastases. However, to the authors' knowledge, the perioperative impact of NAC has not been systematically explored in patients with HNC. The objective of the current study was to compare perioperative outcomes with surgery upfront compared with patients treated with NAC. Methods Between March 1, 2016, and March 31, 2019,...

Effect of MDM2 inhibitors in preclinical models of advanced clear cell carcinomas originating from ovaries and kidneys
Abstract Advanced clear cell carcinomas originating from both ovaries and kidneys with cancerous peritonitis have poor prognoses. Murine double‐minute 2 is a potential therapeutic target for clear cell ovarian carcinomas with wild‐type TP53 . Herein, we characterized the anti‐angiogenic and antitumor effects of the Murine double‐minute 2 inhibitors, DS‐3032b and DS‐5272, in six clear cell ovarian carcinoma cell lines and two clear cell renal carcinoma cell lines, as well as in clear cell ovarian...

The Relationship Between the Level of Serum ESM‐1 and Lp‐PLA2 in Patients With Acute ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Acute ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most lethal coronary heart disease with vascular endothelium dysfunction and inflammation in the disease development process. Endothelial cell‐specific molecule 1 (ESM‐1) and lipoprotein‐associated phospholipase A2 (Lp‐PLA2) are important for the diagnosis and characterization of STEMI. To date, no studies have reported the correlation between ESM‐1 and Lp‐PLA2 levels in patients with STEMI, which may be an important predictor of the...

On 13 March 2020, Israel’s government declared closure of all schools. Schools fully reopened on 17 May 2020. Ten days later, a major outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) occurred in a high school. The first case was registered on 26 May, the second on 27 May. They were not epidemiologically linked. Testing of the complete school community revealed 153 students (attack rate: 13.2%) and 25 staff members (attack rate: 16.6%) who were COVID-19 positive.

Functional Mechanisms of miR‐192 Family in Cancer
Abstract By growing research on the mechanisms and functions of microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs), the role of these non‐coding RNAs gained more attention in healthcare. Due to the remarkable regulatory role of miRNAs, any dysregulation in their expression causes cellular functional impairment. In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that these small molecules contribute to development, cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor growth. In many studies, the miR‐192 family has...

Choosing the optimal HPV vaccine: The health impact and economic value of the nonavalent and bivalent HPV vaccines in 48 Gavi‐eligible countries
ABSTRACT The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines may provide some level of cross‐protection against high‐risk HPV genotypes not directly targeted by the vaccines. We evaluated the long‐term health and economic impacts of routine HPV vaccination using either the nonavalent HPV vaccine or the bivalent HPV vaccine in the context of 48 Gavi‐eligible countries. We used a multi‐modeling approach to compare the bivalent with or without cross‐protection and the nonavalent HPV. The optimal, i.e., most cost‐effective,...

Variation in the use of radiotherapy fractionation for breast cancer: Survival outcome and cost implications
Radiation therapy (RT) is an important component in the management of breast cancer. It is recommended that up to 80% of patients with breast cancer should receive RT as part of their treatment [1]. The standard of care for many years has been whole breast irradiation delivered with a long fractionated schedule over 5 to 6 weeks [2]. Hypofractionation (39-42.5 Gy in 13-16 fractions) has been shown in several randomised trials to be equally efficacious when compared with those treated with traditional...

Hospital volume and physician volume in association with survival in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer after radiation therapy
Radiation therapy (RT) is the cornerstone of treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). Using contemporary intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), dose escalation with tumor ablative intent, while sparing surrounding normal organs, is feasible. Thus, significantly high local control and survival rate, as well as reduced chronic toxicities, can be achieved.[1–3] How to further enhance the quality of care and long-term outcome is an issue worth studying.

A multimodal treatment of carbon ions irradiation, miRNA-34 and mTOR inhibitor specifically control high-grade chondrosarcoma cancer stem cells
Despite striking improvements in the diagnosis and care of human cancer, treatment resistance remains to this day an issue in some hard-to-treat cancers. Chondrosarcomas (CSs) constitute the second most common primary bone tumor in adults [1]. Because these cartilaginous tumors exhibit resistance to chemotherapy and conventional radiation therapy, complete surgical resection still remains the primary treatment, with a 10-year survival rate comprised between 30% and 80% depending on the grade. A significant...

Is prostate brachytherapy a dying art? Trends and variation in the definitive management of prostate cancer in ontario, canada
Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in North American and European men [1–3]. For those who undergo curative-intent treatment, preferred options for localized prostate cancer include radical prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy [4] either alone or in combination with EBRT. Guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology and Cancer Care Ontario recommend that brachytherapy be considered for the treatment of all appropriate prostate cancer...

Re-irradiation in the thorax - An analysis of efficacy and safety based on accumulated EQD2 doses
Thoracic re-irradiation for primary or metastatic intrathoracic lesions remains a challenge regarding the balance of a locally effective treatment and acceptable treatment related toxicities. Patients with primary lung tumors have a high risk of locoregional recurrence, a second primary lung cancer or thoracic metastases [1–3]. Besides patients with primary lung cancer, also patients with other primary tumors might require repeated treatment for intrathoracic metastases [4–7].

HPV-positive HNSCC cell lines show strongly enhanced radiosensitivity after photon but not after carbon ion irradiation
Tumors of the head and neck region (HNSCC) are the sixth most common cancer worldwide with nearly 600.000 new cases every year [1]. HNSCC can be subdivided in two main etiologies with one being mostly driven by noxa (HPV neg.) and the other by infection with human Papillomavirus of high-risk genotypes (HPV pos.). While the incidence for HPV neg. appears to decline, a constant increase is observed for HPV pos. tumors [2].

Toxicity in combination immune checkpoint inhibitor and radiation therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Recent rising use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic and recurrent cancers leverages their systemic activity to eradicate disseminated malignancies. For example, the current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines (version 1.2019) for newly diagnosed metastatic melanoma to the brain recommend four treatment options: ipilimumab with nivolumab, nivolumab alone, pembrolizumab, or BRAF/MEK inhibitors.[1] Similarly, radiation therapy (RT) may be used for palliation or...

The role of different lymph node staging systems in predicting prognosis and determining indications for postmastectomy radiotherapy in patients with T1-T2pN1 breast carcinoma
Abstract Purpose Based on the risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR), postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is recommended in T1-T2pN1 breast carcinoma (BC). We aimed to elucidate our institutional strategies underlying selection of these patients for PMRT. In the no-PMRT subset, we compared various lymph node (LN) staging systems’ abilities to predict 5‑year overall and locoregional-free survival (OS/LRFS). ...
