Biological aspects of aging that influence response to anticancer treatments.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-03-01)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cancer is a disease of older adults, where fitness and frailty are a continuum. This aspect poses unique challenges to the management of cancer in this population. In this article, we review the biological ... -
Embracing the complexity: Older adults with cancer-related cognitive decline-A Young International Society of Geriatric Oncology position paper.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-03-01)Cancer-related cognitive decline (CRCD) may have particularly significant consequences for older adults, impacting their functional and physical abilities, level of independence, ability to make decisions, treatment ... -
Current challenges for assessing the long-term clinical benefit of cancer immunotherapy: a multi-stakeholder perspective.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-01)Immuno-oncologics (IOs) differ from chemotherapies as they prime the patient's immune system to attack the tumor, rather than directly destroying cancer cells. The IO mechanism of action leads to durable responses and ... -

Quality of Life With Pembrolizumab for Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: KEYNOTE-040.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-02-01)BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL); few treatments have demonstrated clinically meaningful HRQoL benefit. KEYNOTE-040 evaluated pembrolizumab vs standard ... -
CD38 in Advanced Prostate Cancers.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-02-01)BACKGROUND: CD38, a druggable ectoenzyme, is involved in the generation of adenosine, which is implicated in tumour immune evasion. Its expression and role in prostate tumour-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) have not been ... -
APOBEC and Cancer Viroimmunotherapy: Thinking the Unthinkable.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-06-15)The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide (APOBEC) family protects against infection by degrading incoming viral genomes through cytosine deamination. Here, we review how the potential to unleash these ... -
Afatinib vs Placebo as Adjuvant Therapy After Chemoradiotherapy in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2019-08-01)IMPORTANCE: Locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is treated curatively; however, risk of recurrence remains high among some patients. The ERBB family blocker afatinib has shown efficacy in ... -
Association of Bone Metastatic Burden With Survival Benefit From Prostate Radiotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Prostate Cancer: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2021-04-01)IMPORTANCE: Prostate radiotherapy (RT) improves survival in men with low-burden metastatic prostate cancer. However, owing to the dichotomized nature of metastatic burden criteria, it is not clear how this benefit varies ... -
International Guideline on Dose Prioritization and Acceptance Criteria in Radiation Therapy Planning for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Purpose The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma requires high radiation doses. The balance of the risks of local recurrence owing to inadequate tumor coverage versus the potential damage to the adjacent organs at risk ... -
The transformation of radiation oncology using real-time magnetic resonance guidance: A review.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-11-01)Radiation therapy (RT) is an essential component of effective cancer care and is used across nearly all cancer types. The delivery of RT is becoming more precise through rapid advances in both computing and imaging. The ... -
Development of an online research platform for use in a large-scale multicentre study.
Background Participation in research can be beneficial for patients and healthcare providers, but may prove demanding at patient, clinician and organizational levels. Patient representatives are supportive of online research ... -
Immunological impact of cell death signaling driven by radiation on the tumor microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-01)Therapeutic irradiation of the tumor microenvironment causes differential activation of pro-survival and pro-death pathways in malignant, stromal, endothelial and immune cells, hence causing a profound cellular and biological ... -
Transoral robotic surgery for recurrent cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract-Systematic review and meta-analysis.
(WILEY, 2020-05-01)BACKGROUND: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for recurrent head and neck (H&N) cancer is an emerging but relatively infrequent procedure. METHODS: Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting survival data and ... -
Impact of antibiotic use during curative treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancers with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-05-01)BACKGROUND: Pre-clinical evidence suggests reduced efficacy of anticancer treatment in patients exposed to broad-spectrum antibiotics. It is hypothesised that this phenomenon may be explained by the effects of antibiotics ... -
Oncolytic Reovirus-Mediated Recruitment of Early Innate Immune Responses Reverses Immunotherapy Resistance in Prostate Tumors.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-03-26)Prostate cancers are considered "cold" tumors characterized by minimal T cell infiltrates, absence of a type I interferon (IFN) signature, and the presence of immunosuppressive cells. This non-inflamed phenotype is likely ... -
Clinical Application of Shear Wave Elastography for Assisting Brain Tumor Resection.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-03-01)BACKGROUND: The clinical outcomes for brain tumor resection have been shown to be significantly improved with increased extent of resection. To achieve this, neurosurgeons employ different intra-operative tools to improve ... -
