Identifying healthy carriers of germline pathogenic variants in high penetrance cancer susceptibility genes offers the potential for risk-reducing surgery. The NHS England National Genomic Test Directory offers germline and somatic testing to patients with certain cancers or rare and inherited diseases, or, in some cases, to their relatives. This review summarises current UK guidelines for risk-reducing surgical interventions available for individuals with no personal history of cancer, who are determined to carry germline pathogenic variants...

BACKGROUND: GSK3368715, a first-in-class, reversible inhibitor of type I protein methyltransferases (PRMTs) demonstrated anticancer activity in preclinical studies. This Phase 1 study (NCT03666988) evaluated safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of GSK3368715 in adults with advanced-stage solid tumors. METHODS: In part 1, escalating doses of oral once-daily GSK3368715 (50, 100, and 200 mg) were evaluated. Enrollment was paused at 200 mg following a higher-than-expected incidence of thromboembolic events (TEEs) among the first 19 participants, resuming under a protocol amendment starting at 100 mg...

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis and management of cancers of unknown primary (CUP) remain challenging. This study examines the referral patterns, management and outcomes of patients referred to Australia's first dedicated CUP clinic. METHODS: Retrospective medical record review was conducted for patients seen at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre CUP clinic between July 2014 and August 2020. Overall survival (OS) was analysed for patients with a CUP diagnosis where treatment information was available...

BACKGROUND: Risk-stratified screening is being considered for national breast screening programmes. It is unclear how women experience risk-stratified screening and receipt of breast cancer risk information in real time. This study aimed to explore the psychological impact of undergoing risk-stratified screening within England's NHS Breast Screening Programme. METHODS: Individual telephone interviews were conducted with 40 women who participated in the BC-Predict study and received a letter indicating their estimated breast cancer risk as one of four risk categories: low (<2% 10-year risk), average (2-4...

BACKGROUND: Individual behaviours are associated with prostate cancer (PC) progression. Behavioural scores, comprised of multiple risk factors, allow assessment of the combined impact of multiple behaviours. METHODS: We examined the association between six a priori scores and risk of PC progression and mortality among 2156 men with PC in the Cancer of the Prostate Strategic Urologic Research Endeavor (CaPSURE) cohort: two scores developed based on the PC survivorship literature ('2021 Score [+ Diet]'); a score developed based on pre-diagnostic PC literature ('2015 Score'); and three scores based on US recommendations for cancer prevention ('WCRF/AICR Score') and survival ('ACS Score [+ Alcohol]')...

BACKGROUND: To date, single-agent immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy has proven to be ineffective against biomarker-unselected extrapulmonary poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (EP-PDNECs). The efficacy of CPI in combination with chemotherapy remains under investigation. METHODS: Patients with advanced, progressive EP-PDNECs were enrolled in a two-part study of pembrolizumab-based therapy. In Part A, patients received pembrolizumab alone. In Part B, patients received pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy...

BACKGROUND: B-raf inhibitors (BRAFi) are effective for BRAF-mutated papillary (PTC) and anaplastic (ATC) thyroid carcinomas, although acquired resistance impairs tumour cells' sensitivity and/or limits drug efficacy. Targeting metabolic vulnerabilities is emerging as powerful approach in cancer. METHODS: In silico analyses identified metabolic gene signatures and Hif-1α as glycolysis regulator in PTC. BRAF-mutated PTC, ATC and control thyroid cell lines were exposed to HIF1A siRNAs or chemical/drug treatments (CoCl2 , EGF, HGF, BRAFi, MEKi and diclofenac)...

BACKGROUND: Striking geographic variations in prostate cancer incidence suggest an aetiological role for spatially-distributed factors. We assessed whether neighbourhood social deprivation, which can reflect limited social contacts, unfavourable lifestyle and environmental exposures, is associated with prostate cancer risk. METHODS: In 2005-2012, we recruited 1931 incident prostate cancer cases and 1994 controls in a case-control study in Montreal, Canada. Lifetime residential addresses were linked to an area-based social deprivation index around recruitment (2006) and about 10 years earlier (1996)...

BACKGROUND: Large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) is an exceptionally aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. At present, little is known about the molecular pathology of LCLC. METHODS: Ultra-deep sequencing of cancer-related genes and exome sequencing were used to detect the LCLC mutational in 118 tumor-normal pairs. The cell function test was employed to confirm the potential carcinogenic mutation of PI3K pathway. RESULTS: The mutation pattern is determined by the predominance of A > C mutations...

BACKGROUND: Imatinib re-challenge is one of the available therapeutic options for patients with treatment-refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). Intermittent dosing of imatinib was suggested to delay outgrow of the imatinib-resistant clones in a preclinical study, and it could potentially reduce the adverse events. METHODS: A randomised phase 2 study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a continuous or intermittent imatinib schedule in GIST patients whose disease had progressed to at least imatinib and sunitinib...

BACKGROUND: We sought to assess the influences of sleep duration, sleep adequacy, and daytime sleepiness on survival outcomes among Stage III colon cancer patients. METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study of 1175 Stage III colon cancer patients enrolled in the CALGB/SWOG 80702 randomised adjuvant chemotherapy trial who completed a self-reported questionnaire on dietary and lifestyle habits 14-16 months post-randomisation. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS), and secondary was overall survival (OS)...

BACKGROUND: Portal vein tumour thrombus (PVTT) is the main pathway of HCC intrahepatic metastasis and is responsible for the poor prognosis of patients with HCC. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying PVTT vascular metastases have not been fully elucidated. METHODS: NDRG1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting in clinical specimens obtained from curative surgery. The functional relevance of NDRG1 was evaluated using sphere formation and animal models of tumorigenicity and metastasis...

BACKGROUND: Studies to date have yielded inconclusive results as to whether maternal medical history during pregnancy, and a child's early-life medical history contribute to the development of childhood brain tumours (CBTs). This study examined associations between maternal and childhood medical history and the risk of CBTs.

BACKGROUND: Early detection of BCR::ABL1-like ALL could impact treatment management and improve the overall survival/outcome. BCR::ABL1-like ALL cases are characterised by diverse genetic alterations activating cytokine receptors and kinase signalling. Its detection is still an unmet need in low-middle-income countries due to the unavailability of a patented TLDA assay. METHODS: This study's rationale is to identify BCR::ABL1-like ALLs using the PHi-RACE classifier, followed by the characterisation of underlying adverse genetic alterations in recurrent gene abnormalities negative (RGAneg ) B-ALLs (n = 108)...

BACKGROUND: Adherence to adjuvant tamoxifen therapy is suboptimal, and acceptance of tamoxifen for primary prevention is poor. Published results indicate effect of low-dose tamoxifen therapy. Using questionnaire data from a randomised controlled trial, we describe side effects of standard and low-dose tamoxifen in healthy women. METHODS: In the KARISMA trial, 1440 healthy women were randomised to 6 months of daily intake of 20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1 mg of tamoxifen or placebo...
