Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in gastric cancer: A Review.

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LM) occurs in 0.06% of gastric cancers. As such, trials are difficult to power and quantitative analyses difficult to standardize. We composed a review and analysis of 47 recent cases to be used as a comprehensive resource for an oncologist faced with managing this highly morbid, rapidly fatal disease. Gold-standard of diagnosis of LM is through cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) cytology; MRI is the preferred imaging modality to identify LM. However, repeated lumbar punctures and imaging studies are often req

How I treat unique and difficult-to-manage cases of CAR T-cell therapy-associated neurotoxicity.

With growing indications for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, toxicity profiles are evolving. There is an urgent and unmet need of approaches to optimally manage emerging adverse events that extend beyond the standard paradigm of cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Although management guidelines exist for ICANS, there is little guidance on how to approach patients with neurologic comorbidities, and how to manage rare neurotoxicity presentations, such as CAR T-cell therapy-related cerebral edema, severe motor complications

Dissecting the effects of 223Radium on the bone microenvironment.

Radium-223 (223Ra) is a bone-seeking, alpha-particle-emitting radionuclide that is approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic prostate cancer and is currently being tested in clinical trials for primary and metastatic cancers to the bone. 223Ra accumulates in mineralized bone areas with high bone turnover, where its effects are confined within 100 μm of the bone-marrow interface due to the short tissue penetrance of the alpha particles. A recent clinical study has shown a significantly increased fracture rate associated with the administration of 223Ra, mostly in tumor-free bones.

Cardiovascular Considerations in Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

Opinion statementCardiac dysfunction is a serious adverse effect of cancer therapies that can interfere with quality of life and impact long-term survival in patients with cancer. Hematopoietic cell transplantation is a potentially curative therapy for many advanced hematologic malignancies and bone marrow failure syndromes, however is associated with several short- and long-term adverse effects, including importantly, cardiovascular toxicities. The goal of this review article is to describe the cardiovascular events that may develop before, during, and after hematopoietic cell transplantation

Single vs. multiple fraction regimens for palliative radiotherapy treatment of multiple myeloma : A prospective randomised study.

PURPOSE: To compare the impact of a single fraction (8 Gy × 1 fraction) and multifraction (3 Gy × 10 fractions) radiotherapy regimens on pain relief, recalcification and the quality of life (QoL) in patients with bone destructions due to multiple myeloma (MM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: In all, 101 patients were included in a randomised prospective clinical trial: 58 patients were included in the control arm (3 Gy × 10 fractions) and 43 patients into the experimental arm (8 Gy × 1 fraction). The response rate was defined according to the International Consensus on Palliative Radiotherapy criteria.

Imaging in plasma cell disorders-consensus recommendations of the Asian myeloma network bone imaging workgroup.

The role of imaging in accurate classification and management of plasma cell disorders is substantial with the increasing evidence in the ability of cross-sectional imaging to identify disease related manifestations. International myeloma working group and nation-wide guidelines provide recommendations for guiding practice. However, there are remarkable variations in practice globally and in particular, adoption of incorrect imaging techniques due to lack of awareness/education, lack of equipment or personnel and resource constraints. These limitations are not specific to any particular geogra

Functional magnetic resonance imaging in oncology: state of the art.

In the investigation of tumors with conventional magnetic resonance imaging, both quantitative characteristics, such as size, edema, necrosis, and presence of metastases, and qualitative characteristics, such as contrast enhancement degree, are taken into consideration. However, changes in cell metabolism and tissue physiology which precede morphological changes cannot be detected by the conventional technique. The development of new magnetic resonance imaging techniques has enabled the functional assessment of the structures in order to obtain information on the different physiological proces

Cardiovascular and Cancer Risk: The Role of Cardio-oncology.

Cardio-oncology is a subspecialty of cardiology. It was created to address oncology data indicating that newly developed drugs for cancer treatment were having unanticipated cardiac side effects. Cardio-oncology designs primary and secondary risk strategies through surveillance as well as interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk (CVR), prevent cardiotoxicities, and manage the side effects that may occur. Rather than discuss in detail the cardiotoxicities of specific therapies or radiation, this review article will explore the interplay of cancer, cancer treatment, and CVR. It will examine t

Treatment progress of spinal metastatic cancer: a powerful tool for improving the quality of life of the patients.

Spinal metastasis is a common secondary malignant tumor of the bone, often resulting in spinal cord and nerve root compression, leading to obvious pain and related compression symptoms. This condition has a high incidence and mortality rate. The treatment approach for most patients with spinal metastasis is primarily palliative. Consultation with a multidisciplinary team is widely accepted as a comprehensive treatment approach for patients with spinal metastases. With advancements in research and technology, the evaluation and treatment of spinal metastatic cancer are continuously evolving. Th

Early diagnostic value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T for cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction: a meta-analysis.

Early diagnosis of cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is important as cancer therapy increases the risk of cardiac dysfunction. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is a highly specific marker of myocardial injury. However, its diagnostic value for CTRCD has not been systematically evaluated. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether hs-cTnT could be used as an early diagnostic biomarker for CTRCD. We systematically surveyed PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for studies of hs-cTnT for the diagnosis of CTRCD before 1 April 2022. Patient

Emerging burden of post-cancer therapy complications on unplanned hospitalisation and costs among Australian cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study over 14 years.

Cancer treatment using systemic therapy and radiotherapy may cause post-therapy complications, resulting in increased unplanned hospitalisation. The evidence on such complications, their impact on unplanned hospitalisations, and associated costs is scant in Australia. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of post-therapy complications, evaluate their impact on unplanned hospitalisation, length of stay (LOS) and investigate the associated medical costs. A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 8,633 cancer patients (1.03 million emergency hospital admissions) in Victoria, Australia from J

A Qualitative Investigation on Patient Empowerment in Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: Men with prostate cancer often describe low levels of empowerment. eHealth interventions may represent useful tools to deliver care and education and to meet patients' needs within an empowerment framework. In order to design a platform for cancer patients' empowerment within the H2020 iManageCancer project, the perspective of the target population for the platform was assessed. The present study aims to assess the qualitative experience of prostate cancer patients during treatment in order to provide insights for clinical practice with a particular focus on the design of a web platfo

Cardiovascular Concerns, Cancer Treatment, and Biological and Chronological Aging in Cancer: JACC Family Series.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are leading causes of death globally, particularly among the rapidly growing population of older adults (OAs). CVD is a leading cause of mortality among cancer survivors, often accelerated by cancer treatments associated with short- or long-term cardiotoxicity. Moreover, there is a dynamic relationship among CVD, cancer, and aging, characterized by shared risk factors and biological hallmarks, that plays an important role in caring for OAs, optimizing treatment approaches, and developing preventive strategies. Assessment of geriatric domains (eg, functio

Cancer survivorship at heart: a multidisciplinary cardio-oncology roadmap for healthcare professionals.

In cancer, a patient is considered a survivor from the time of initial diagnosis until the end of life. With improvements in early diagnosis and treatment, the number of cancer survivors (CS) has grown considerably and includes: (1) Patients cured and free from cancer who may be at risk of late-onset cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT); (2) Patients with long-term control of not-curable cancers in whom CTR-CVT may need to be addressed. This paper highlights the importance of the cancer care continuum, of a patient-centered approach and of a prevention-oriented policy. The

SEOM Clinical Guideline for bone metastases from solid tumours (2016).

Bone metastases are common in many advanced solid tumours, being breast, prostate, thyroid, lung, and renal cancer the most prevalent. Bone metastases can produce skeletal-related events (SREs), defined as pathological fracture, spinal cord compression, need of bone irradiation or need of bone surgery, and hypercalcaemia. Patients with bone metastases experience pain, functional impairment and have a negative impact on their quality of life. Several imaging techniques are available for diagnosis of this disease. Bone-targeted therapies include zoledronic acid, a potent biphosfonate, and denosu

Canine Cancer: Strategies in Experimental Therapeutics.

Cancer is the most common cause of death in adult dogs. Many features of spontaneously developing tumors in pet dogs contribute to their potential utility as a human disease model. These include similar environmental exposures, similar clonal evolution as it applies to important factors such as immune avoidance, a favorable body size for imaging and serial biopsy, and a relatively contracted time course of disease progression, which makes evaluation of temporal endpoints such as progression free or overall survival feasible in a comparatively short time frame. These criteria have been leverage

Stereotactic radiotherapy on brain metastases with recent hemorrhagic signal: STEREO-HBM, a two-step phase 2 trial.

BackgroundBrain metastases often occur in cancer evolution. They are not only responsible for death but also for disorders affecting the quality of life and the cognitive functions. Management of brain metastases usually consists in multi-modality treatments, including neurosurgery, whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), and more recently radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT), systemic treatment (chemotherapy or targeted therapy), combined or not with corticosteroids. Almost 20% of brain metastases can present recent (within 15 days) bleeding signs on neuro-imagery. In
