Importance The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has improved cancer outcomes but at the cost of adverse events, mainly related to the immune system. Cardiovascular (CV) toxic effects, and especially myocarditis, are of particular concern and are the subject…
Importance Molecular analyses of biospecimens collected from study participants are essential for identifying biomarkers that can tailor treatments to specific subsets of patients who are most likely to benefit. Sharing of data and biospecimens from clinical trials enables personalized, patient-centric use…
A 52-year-old woman had presented with persistent inflammatory edema of the lower limb and a history of squamous cell carcinoma. What is your diagnosis?
Importance Adjuvant immunotherapy is increasingly integrated into cancer care to reduce recurrence and improve survival. However, its high cost raises critical concerns regarding affordability and economic value across diverse health system contexts. Objective To synthesize published economic evaluations of adjuvant immunotherapy and…
A 78-year-old man with a history of nonmelanoma skin cancers presented with left-sided upper and lower facial weakness. What is your diagnosis?
Importance As childhood cancer survival improves worldwide, supporting the growing survivor population, who are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality compared with the general population, is critical. No prior publications have summarized the landscape of childhood cancer survivorship research globally…
Importance It has been stated that especially with the advancements in imaging, systemic therapy, and local radical treatment (LRT) that patients with synchronous oligometastatic disease (sOMD) can potentially benefit from curative-intent treatment. This statement is challenged by the results of the…
Importance Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a significant global health burden with limited therapeutic options for patients with recurrent or metastatic disease. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in most patients with HNSCC and represents a biologically…
Importance Despite recent declines in breast cancer mortality rates, substantial disparities persist among race and ethnicity groups. Genomic assays are crucial for understanding the biological characteristics of tumors, providing valuable insights into prognosis and treatment response. Their integration into personalized clinical…
Importance Research in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is translating into rapid changes in therapy and outcomes. Historically, adult ALL was treated with intensive chemotherapy extending over 2.5 to 3 years. This established tradition, accepted because of the high cure rates in…
