Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, mostly because the lack of a screening program so far. Although smoking cessation has a central role in LC primary prevention, several trials on LC screening through low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in a high risk population showed a significant reduction of LC related mortality. Most trials showed heterogeneity in terms of selection criteria, comparator arm, detection nodule method, timing and intervals of screening and duration of the follow-up...

BACKGROUND: Distinct systemic treatments exist for metastatic uveal melanoma. Tebentafusp and combined immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with ipilimumab plus anti-PD-1 antibodies are the most commonly used treatment options but their comparative efficacy is unclear. The aim of this study is to compare currently available systemic treatments regarding overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) with a focus on the comparison of tebentafusp versus combined ICB. METHODS: The protocol for this study was defined a priori and registered online in the PROSPERO international prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42022308356, date of registration: 7...

Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a heterogenous disease caused by various genetic alterations. The BRAFV600E mutation occurs in approximately 8-12% of patients and is characterised by an aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. Here we review the current knowledge on BRAFV600E -mutant mCRC and provide a series of consensus statements on its clinical management. The treatment landscape for BRAFV600E -mutant mCRC has changed greatly due to the emergence of molecular targeted therapies (including BRAF inhibitors) and immune checkpoint inhibitors...

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide and approximately one-third of patients present with intermediate-stage disease. The treatment landscape of intermediate-stage HCC is rapidly evolving due to developments in local, locoregional and systemic therapies. Treatment recommendations focused on this heterogenous disease stage and that take into account the Canadian reality are lacking. To address this gap, a pan-Canadian group of experts in hepatology, transplant, surgery, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, and medical oncology came together to develop consensus recommendations on management of intermediate-stage HCC relevant to the Canadian context...

Triple-positive breast tumors overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and are positive for hormone receptor (HR) expression. Data from real-life and clinical trials show that estrogen receptor (ER) expression affects the response to combinations of anti-HER2 and associated systemic therapies. Despite triple-positive tumors having decreased response rates compared to HR-negative/HER2-positive breast cancers, optimizing anti-HER2 treatment with dual anti-HER2 blockade remains important for optimal disease control...

Bladder cancer is a heterogeneous malignancy and is responsible for approximately 3.2% of new diagnoses of cancer per year (Sung et al., 2021). Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) have recently emerged as a novel therapeutic target in cancer. In particular, FGFR3 genomic alterations are potent oncogenic drivers in bladder cancer and represent predictive biomarkers of response to FGFR inhibitors. Indeed, overall ∼50% of bladder cancers have somatic mutations in the FGFR3 -coding sequence (Cappellen et al...

Standard treatment for localized non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is radical or partial nephrectomy. However, after radical surgery, patients with stage II-III have a substantial risk of relapse (around 35%). To date a unique standardized classification for the risk of disease recurrence still lack. Moreover, in the last years great attention has been focused in developing systemic therapies with the aim of improving the disease-free survival (DFS) of high-risk patients, with negative results from adjuvant VEGFR-TKIs...

Non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) is a clinical setting defined as confirmed rising levels of PSA in patients treated with ADT but without detectable metastases on conventional imaging with computerized tomography (CT) and technetium-99 m scintigraphy. Men with nmCRPC and a PSA doubling time (PSADT) ≤ 10 months are considered at high risk of rapidly developing metastases with a consequent possible impact on survival. Three recent phase III trials have demonstrated, in this setting, the efficacy of adding a next-generation androgen receptor targeted agent (ARTA) to ADT in respect to ADT only, in delaying the development of metastases (metastasis-free survival, MFS) and prolong overall survival...

Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States. Advanced PC evolves to metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC). Theranostics combining prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted positron emission tomography imaging and radioligand therapy (RLT) represents a precision medicine approach to PC treatment. With the recent approval of lutetium Lu 177 (177 Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan for men with mCRPC, the utilization of RLT will increase. In this review, we suggest a framework for incorporating RLT for PC into clinical practice...

Approximately 10% of breast cancers are associated with the inheritance of a pathogenic variant (PV) in one of the breast cancer susceptibility genes. Multiple breast cancer predisposing genes, including TP53, are responsible for the increased breast cancer risk. Tumor protein-53 (TP53) germline PVs are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant inherited cancer predisposition syndrome associated with early-onset pediatric and multiple primary cancers such as soft tissue and bone sarcomas, breast cancer, brain tumors, adrenocortical carcinomas and leukemias...

In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) alterations, chemotherapy remains the standard treatment over a decade, due to the minor efficacy of traditional pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and HER2-targeted monoclonal antibodies. In recent years, novel selective HER2 TKIs have been developed for pretreated HER2-mutant patients. In particular, pyrotinib has shown moderate efficacy as well as a manageable safety profile, and it is now being further evaluated as monotherapy or combined with other existing therapies; by contrast, while poziotinib has demonstrated promising preliminary results, the high rates of toxicity has hampered subsequent studies...

Breast cancer places a substantial burden on patient physical and mental wellbeing, and the delivery of high-quality supportive care is essential at all stages of the disease. Given the increased uptake of technology in recent years, eHealth interventions may be a convenient and accessible method for supportive care. Within this context, we conducted a systematic review to describe and quantify the use of eHealth for breast cancer supportive care. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases for primary research studies published from 2016 to 2021 (present) that assessed the effects of eHealth interventions on adult patients with breast cancer...

Brain metastases (BM) are a common and devastating manifestation of breast cancer (BC). BM are particularly frequent in the HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer phenotypes and usually occur following the metastatic spread to extracranial sites. Several genes mediating BM and biomarkers predicting their risk in BC have been reported in the past decade. These findings have advanced the understanding of BM pathobiology and paved the way for developing new therapeutic strategies but they still warrant a thorough clinical validation...

BACKGROUND: Several regimens have been introduced in clinical practice in the last twenty years to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). However, direct comparative data remain insufficient, as many new regimes lack head-to-head comparisons. In this study, through an indirect comparison, we overcome this limit by providing the most up-to-date estimate of the efficacy and safety of all combinations used for HEC-induced nausea and vomiting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrieved randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library until June, 30th 2022...

Triple-negative (TN) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) represents the most challenging scenario withing mBC framework, and it has been only slightly affected by the tremendous advancements in terms of drug availability and survival prolongation we have witnessed in the last years for advanced disease. However, although chemotherapy still represents the mainstay of TN mBC management, in the past years, several novel effective agents have been developed and made available in the clinical practice setting. Within this framework, a panel composed of a scientific board of 17 internationally recognized breast oncologists and 42 oncologists working within local spoke centers, addressed 26 high-priority statements, including grey areas, regarding the management of TN mBC...
