SELNET clinical practice guidelines for bone sarcoma

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bone sarcoma are infrequent diseases, representing < 0.2% of all adult neoplasms. A multidisciplinary management within reference centers for sarcoma, with discussion of the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies within an expert multidisciplinary tumour board, is essential for these patients, given its heterogeneity and low frequency. This approach leads to an improvement in patient's outcome, as demonstrated in several studies. The Sarcoma European Latin-American Network (SELNET), aims to improve clinical outcome in sarcoma care, with a special focus in Latin-American countries. These Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) have been developed and agreed by a multidisciplinary expert group (including medical and radiation oncologist, surgical oncologist, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologist, pathologist, molecular biologist and representatives of patients advocacy groups) of the SELNET consortium, and are conceived to provide the standard approach to diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of bone sarcoma patients in the Latin-American context. © 2022 The Authors

ECCO Essential Requirements for Quality Cancer Care: Prostate cancer
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Critical Reviews in Oncology Hematology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1040-8428. ; 148
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: ECCO Essential Requirements for Quality Cancer Care (ERQCC) are written by experts representing all disciplines involved in cancer care in Europe. They give oncology teams, patients, policymakers and managers an overview of essential care throughout the patient journey. Prostate cancer: Prostate cancer is the second most common male cancer and has a wide variation in outcomes in Europe. It has complex diagnosis and treatment challenges, and is a major healthcare burden. Care must only be a carried out in prostate/urology cancer units or centres that have a core multidisciplinary team (MDT) and an extended team of health professionals. Such units are far from universal in European countries. To meet European aspirations for comprehensive cancer control, healthcare organisations must consider the requirements in this paper, paying particular attention to multidisciplinarity and patient-centred pathways from diagnosis, to treatment, to survivorship.

Clinical studies of extended-half-life recombinant FVIII products for prophylaxis in adults and children : A critical review from the physician's perspective
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1040-8428. ; 174

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This review compares the methodology of published clinical studies investigating the extended-half-life (EHL) factor VIII (FVIII) products, rFVIIIFc (efmoroctocog alfa, Elocta®/Eloctate®), BAY 94-9027 (damoctocog alfa pegol, Jivi®), BAX 855 (rurioctocog alfa pegol, Adynovate®) and N8-GP (turoctocog alfa pegol, Esperoct®) including the phase 2/3 studies, A-LONG (NCT01181128), PROTECT VIII (NCT01580293), PROLONG-ATE (NCT01736475) and pathfinder2 (NCT01480180), respectively, and their corresponding pediatric studies and extensions. Study results are interpreted from a treating physician's perspective, translating into evidence-based, real-life use of the different EHL recombinant FVIII products for personalized prophylaxis. The similarities between the studies include methodology, objectives, study design and cohort size. The differences include duration, prophylactic dosing intervals, number of patient arms, use of control group and randomization, and treatment allocation. Comparing these studies broadens physicians’ understanding of each treatment's applicability. Further evaluation of study data and future real-world studies should help physicians to confidently individualize and select treatment for each patient.

The extracellular matrix in colorectal cancer and its metastatic settling : alterations and biological implications
- 2022

- Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common cancers worldwide. Metastatic disease is ultimately fatal when incurable. Cancer research has evolved to take the importance of the tumour microenvironment (TME) into account. The extracellular matrix (ECM) has been viewed merely as a structural scaffold, but it is now evident that the ECM is a highly active part of the TME and affects tumour cell behaviour and metastatic capability. The ECM context and composition are linked to patient outcome and the response to surgical and oncological therapy in CRC patients and may be an area for developing novel biomarkers and targeted therapy. In this review we focus on the components of the ECM in human primary and metastatic CRC. We discuss future aspects of the ECM for targeted therapy, as a source of novel biomarkers, current knowledge of the area and important considerations when studying the ECM in human CRC.

- BackgroundBalancing having cancer and parenting a major stressor, and may result in parenting distress, negatively affecting the whole family. To provide adequate support, knowledge of existing psychosocial interventions are crucial to guide future interventions. This study aimed to describe available psychosocial interventions for parents with cancer and dependent children (<18 years).MethodWe conducted a systematic review, and four databases were searched from January 2000 to March 2023.ResultsThirty studies were included, reporting on 22 psychosocial interventions for parents with cancer. They aimed to improve different aspects of parenting distress, and included psychoeducation and communication strategies. Interventions were beneficial to and acceptable among parents, but only a few had been evaluated. The study quality was, overall, assessed as moderate.ConclusionsThe results of this review highlight the diversity of available psychosocial interventions for parents with cancer and the outcomes on parenting distress, as well as methodological challenges.

KRAS G12C-mutant driven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- 2024

Ingår i: Critical reviews in oncology/hematology. - : Elsevier. - 1040-8428 .- 1879-0461. ; 195

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- KRAS G12C mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) partially respond to KRAS G12C covalent inhibitors. However, early adaptive resistance occurs due to rewiring of signaling pathways, activating receptor tyrosine kinases, primarily EGFR, but also MET and ligands. Evidence indicates that treatment with KRAS G12C inhibitors (sotorasib) triggers the MRAS:SHOC2:PP1C trimeric complex. Activation of MRAS occurs from alterations in the Scribble and Hippo-dependent pathways, leading to YAP activation. Other mechanisms that involve STAT3 signaling are intertwined with the activation of MRAS. The high-resolution MRAS:SHOC2:PP1C crystallization structure allows in silico analysis for drug development. Activation of MRAS:SHOC2:PP1C is primarily Scribble-driven and downregulated by HUWE1. The reactivation of the MRAS complex is carried out by valosin containing protein (VCP). Exploring these pathways as therapeutic targets and their impact on different chemotherapeutic agents (carboplatin, paclitaxel) is crucial. Comutations in STK11/LKB1 often co-occur with KRAS G12C, jeopardizing the effect of immune checkpoint (anti-PD1/PDL1) inhibitors.

- Background and aimsThe treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer often consists of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery. However, approximately 15% of patients show no response to this neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. This systematic review aimed to identify biomarkers of innate radioresistant rectal cancer.MethodThrough a systematic literature search, 125 papers were included and analyzed using ROBINS-I, a Cochrane risk of bias tool for non-randomized studies of interventions. Both statistically significant and nonsignificant biomarkers were identified. Biomarkers mentioned more than once in the results or biomarkers with a low or moderate risk of bias were included as the final results.ResultsThirteen unique biomarkers, three genetic signatures, one specific pathway, and two combinations of two or four biomarkers were identified. In particular, the connection between HMGCS2, COASY, and PI3K-pathway seems promising. Future scientific research should focus on further validating these genetic resistance markers.
