This systematic review explores the effects of WPs across various cancer types and assesses their value as supportive nutritional agents. A thorough literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science

Take the reins: a study protocol of a randomized controlled trial testing the effects of time-restricted eating vs. nutrition control on cancer-related fatigue among survivors of hematological malignancies.

BACKGROUND: Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating side effects of cancer and its treatments. Fatigue may stem from disruptions in circadian rhythms and dysregulation of glucose metabolism, which can be improved through time-restricted eating. Time-restricted eating is a daily eating pattern that entails consuming food within a defined, consistent window (e.g., 10 h) every day. When the eating window aligns with the daylight hours, it can entrain circadian processes and modulate physiological regulation of whole-body metabolism. It is hypothesized that time-restricte

Pre-approval and post-approval availability of evidence and clinical benefit of conditionally approved cancer drugs in Europe: A comparison with standard approved cancer drugs.

AimsCancer drugs are increasingly approved through expedited regulatory pathways including the European conditional marketing authorization (CMA). Whether, when taking CMA post-approval confirmatory trials into account, the level of evidence and clinical benefit between CMA and standard approved (SMA) drugs differs remains unknown.MethodsWe identified all CMA cancer indications converted to SMA in 2006-2020 and compared these to similar SMA indications with regard to pivotal trial and CMA post-approval confirmatory trial design, outcomes and demonstrated clinical benefit (per the European Soci

Current landscape of clinical development and approval of advanced therapies.

Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are innovative therapies that mainly target orphan diseases and high unmet medical needs. The uncertainty about the product's benefit-risk balance at the time of approval, the limitations of nonclinical development, and the complex quality aspects of those highly individualized advanced therapies are playing a key role in the clinical development, approval, and post-marketing setting for these therapies. This article reviews the current landscape of clinical development of advanced therapies, its challenges, and some of the efforts several stakeholde

Brazilian Nutritional Consensus in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Elderly.

The Brazilian Nutritional Consensus in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Elderly was elaborated by nutritionists, nutrologists and hematologists physicians from 15 Brazilians reference centers in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, in order to emphasize the importancy of nutritional status and the body composition during the treatment, as well as the main characteristics related to patient's nutritional assessment. Establishing the consensus, we intended to improve and standardize the nutritional therapy during the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The Consensus was approved

Unintentional weight loss, its associated burden, and perceived weight status in people with cancer.

PURPOSE: Unintentional weight loss (UWL) is a prevalent problem in people with cancer and is associated with poorer psychosocial outcomes. A gap exists in understanding whether and how perceived and/or weight status impacts experiences of UWL. Thus, we sought to examine subjective experiences of UWL in people with cancer, and whether perceived and/or actual weight status impacts these experiences. METHODS: Participants were recruited through Cancer Support Community's Cancer Experience Registry® and related networks. Participants completed an online survey that included the FAACT Anorexia-Cac

Dose Optimization of Targeted Therapies for Oncologic Indications.

Therapeutic advances in oncology in the 21st century have contributed to significant declines in cancer mortality. Notably, targeted therapies comprised the largest proportion of oncology drugs approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over the past 25 years and have become the standard of care for the treatment of many cancers. However, despite the metamorphosis of the therapeutic landscape, some aspects of cancer drug development have remained essentially unchanged. In particular, the dose-finding methodology originally developed for cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs c

Association of activity-based food environment index with obesity-related cancer mortality in the US.

BackgroundObesity and obesity-related cancers contribute to rising healthcare costs and declining life expectancy in the US and improving diet quality plays a crucial role in reversing such trends. Existing studies on the relationship between healthy food access and obesity-related cancer mortality present mixed findings, whereas food procurement activities are largely overlooked. The paper aims to construct a novel food environment index based on residents' food retailer visits, and then compare it with the location-based food environment index regarding the strength of associations with obes

Predictive Value of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, and Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Esophageal Stricture After Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Early Esophageal Cancer.

BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become a preferred treatment method for patients with early esophageal cancer (EEC), but it can easily be complicated by esophageal stricture. In this study, we aimed to analyze the predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) for post-ESD esophageal stricture of EEC. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study of 285 patients with EEC who underwent ESD was conducted. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether there were complications of eso

An Integrated Health-System Specialty Pharmacy Model for Coordinating Transitions of Care: Specialty Medication Challenges and Specialty Pharmacist Opportunities.

Adherence and persistence to specialty medications are necessary to achieve successful outcomes of costly therapies. The increasing use of specialty medications has exposed several unique barriers to certain specialty treatments' continuation. Integrated specialty pharmacy teams facilitate transitions in sites of care, between different provider types, among prescribed specialty medications, and during financial coverage changes. We review obstacles encountered within these types of transitions and the role of the specialty pharmacist in overcoming these obstacles. Case examples for each type

Assessment of patient perceptions of counselling on oral antineoplastic agents by a dedicated cancer services pharmacist in an outpatient cancer clinic.

BackgroundOral antineoplastic agents have caused a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, however, they produce many unique challenges. Although oral antineoplastics can have complex administration regimes, low adherence rates and high possibilities of drug-drug interactions, they are administered unsupervised at home. Cancer services pharmacists have the required skillsets to improve patient outcomes associated with oral antineoplastic treatment by increasing patient health literacy, improving concordance and optimising administration protocols.AimTo evaluate patients' perceptions, experiences a

The contributions of family care-givers at end of life: A national post-bereavement census survey of cancer carers' hours of care and expenditures.

BackgroundFamily members provide vital care at end of life, enabling patients to remain at home. Such informal care contributes significantly to the economy while supporting patients' preferences and government policy. However, the value of care-givers' contributions is often underestimated or overlooked in evaluations. Without information on the activities and expenditures involved in informal care-giving, it is impossible to provide an accurate assessment of carers' contribution to end-of-life care.AimThe aim of this study was to investigate the contributions and expenditure of informal, fam

Patient Preferences for Treatment in Relapsed/Refractory Acute Leukemia in the United Kingdom: A Discrete Choice Experiment.

BackgroundAcute leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells which progresses rapidly and aggressively. There are two types: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The latter has a rare subtype: acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). For some patients, following first-line treatment, remission is not achieved ("refractory disease"), and for others the leukemia returns after achieving remission ("relapse"). For these individuals, outcomes are typically poor. It is, therefore, important to understand patients' treatment priorities in this context.MethodsBuilding upon

Polyphenols bind G4-Quadruplex structures and act as epigenetic modifiers with anti-cancer effects.

G4-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical structures of nucleic acids that develop in guanine rich regions of DNA and RNA. Due to their presence in oncogenic promoters and telomeres, G4s represent attractive targets in anticancer drug designs. G4s have also been the subject of recent research regarding their role as epigenetic modulators, supporting their participation in epigenetic processes that control gene expression. The development of small compounds that preferentially target G4s have led to a better understanding of how G4s control these mechanisms. Natural products have greatly contribu
