ЦЕЛЬ: Цель заключалась в том, чтобы определить, каким образом оценки, отнесенные к одной и той же категории, могут отражать различные формы инвалидности. Методы: Мы проанализировали 13,103 ОЦЕНКИ 1636 Люди со вторичным прогрессивным MS, с суда EXPAND. Комплект данны

Treatment Discontinuation After Achieving MRD Negativity in Multiple Myeloma in the Pre-BCMA Era: A Prospective, Single-Centre Study.

OBJECTIVES: Minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity in multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with favourable outcomes; nonetheless, evidence supporting treatment discontinuation remains limited. We evaluated the feasibility of discontinuing antimyeloma therapy in patients with MRD negativity. METHODS: We analysed 41 patients who discontinued therapy after achieving MRD negativity at the 10-5 level in the bone marrow (BM) and on imaging studies. Treatment regimens and lines of therapy were not prespecified. After discontinuation, patients were monitored with periodic MRD assessments

Balloon kyphoplasty in malignant spinal fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Spinal fractures are a common source of morbidity in cancer patients. Balloon Kyphoplasty (BKP) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to stabilize fractures and correct vertebral deformities. We performed a meta-analysis to determine the efficacy and safety of BKP for spinal fractures in cancer patients. METHODS: We searched several electronic databases up to September 2008 and the reference lists of relevant publications for studies reporting on BKP in patients with spinal fractures secondary to osteolytic metastasis and multiple myeloma. Outcomes sought included pain relief

Nurses' reported training needs for advanced cell therapies: a survey on behalf of the Nurses Group of the EBMT.

BackgroundAdvanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) for human use have advanced globally with the rapid adoption of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies in haemato-oncology. CAR-T cell therapy and ATMPs have unique, significant acute and chronic toxicities, and appropriate patient care is crucial. Significant challenges, including the need for nurse education and training, accompany optimal patient success and benefits.ObjectivesThis study aimed to describe nurses' training needs in relation to ATMP management and patient care.MethodsA cross-sectional online survey was performe

Healthcare Resource Utilization and Cost Burden of BCG-Treated Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patients in Germany: A Retrospective Claims Analysis.

BackgroundIntermediate and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is typically managed with transurethral resection of the bladder tumour (TURBT) followed by intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy; however, NMIBC patients can become refractory or unresponsive to BCG treatment, and/or progress to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs in these patient populations are high.MethodsA retrospective longitudinal cohort design of adult (≥18 years) patients with bladder cancer and BCG treatment (01/01/2012-31/12/2017) wa

The aims of the study are to (1) describe the medication self-management behaviors of AYAs with cancer and (2) examine the barriers and facilitators to AYAs' optimal use of medications, including their self-efficacy to manage medications.MethodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 30 AYAs (18-29 years) with cancer who were receiving chemotherapy. Participants electronically completed a demographic form, a health literacy screen, and the PROMIS Self-efficacy for Medicatio

The Nine Cancer Frames: A Tool to Facilitate Critical Reading of Cancer-Related Information.

People's ability to critically assess cancer-related information is essential from a preventional and therapeutic, as well as a general democratic perspective. Such cancer literacy is not just about acquiring factual knowledge. It also involves the ability to analyze how the information is contextualized-how cancer is framed. Previous research concerning the framing of cancer in public discourse is voluminous and penetrating but also fragmented and inaccessible to non-experts. In this study, we have developed an integrated and applicable tool for analyzing cancer discourse by systematically cl

Beta-blockers and glioma: a systematic review of preclinical studies and clinical results.

Given the median survival of 15 months after diagnosis, novel treatment strategies are needed for glioblastoma. Beta-blockers have been demonstrated to inhibit angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation in various cancer types. The aim of this study was to systematically review the evidence on the effect of beta-blockers on glioma growth. A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central to identify all relevant studies.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell Therapy: Practical Considerations for Implementation in Europe.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is a new class of cellular immunotherapies that involves ex vivo genetic modification of T cells to incorporate an engineered CAR. After infusion into the patient, the CAR-expressing T cells recognize specific tumor targets and induce an immune response against them. The technology utilized is fundamentally different from previously available cancer treatments. Currently, most CAR-T cell therapies use autologous T cells. Tisagenlecleucel (formerly CTL019) is an anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy that was recently approved in the United States for the tr

BRAF V600E liquid biopsy-based detection in precision oncology.

IntroductionThe BRAF V600E mutation is one of the most relevant genetic mutations in precision oncology. This variation is commonly found in several types of tumors, including melanoma, colorectal cancer, and thyroid cancer, to name a few. Liquid biopsy has emerged as a minimally-invasive screening option for this mutation.ContentThis review examines the molecular biology of the BRAF V600E mutation, its role in tumor progression, and its utility in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of specific types of tumors.
