Background
Few studies have examined accelerometer‐measured physical activity and incident breast cancer (BC). Thus, this study examined associations between accelerometer‐measured vector magnitude counts per 15 seconds (VM/15s) and average daily minutes of light physical activity (LPA), moderate‐to‐vigorous PA (MVPA), and total PA (TPA) and BC risk among women in the Women's Health Accelerometry...
Background
Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) harboring Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) primarily occurs in patients who have underlying immunodeficiency or in elderly patients but is also reported in young, immunocompetent patients. The authors investigated the pathologic differences in EBV‐positive DLBCL in these three groups of patients.
Methods
In total, 57 patients with EBV‐positive DLBCL were...
The diagnosis of cancer is increasingly made in the pregnant population, thought to be from the increasing average age of pregnancy and the use of prenatal fetal noninvasive screening techniques, leading to incidental detection of cancer in the mother. Complex challenges are associated with imaging, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancers in this patient population, which require highly specialized...
Background
SH‐1028 is a new third‐generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) to benefit patients with EGFR T790M‐mutated NSCLC. Here, the authors report its clinical safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile for the first time.
Methods
Patients with EGFR T790M mutation, locally advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or metastatic NSCLC who had progressed after previous...
Background
Adult survivors of childhood cancer have poor adherence to nutrition guidelines and inadequate intake of dietary vitamins D and E, potassium, fiber, magnesium, and calcium. The contribution of vitamin and mineral supplement use to total nutrient intake in this population is unclear.
Methods
We examined the prevalence and dose of nutrient intake among 2570 adult survivors of childhood...
Background
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) as postremission treatment is recommended for Philadelphia‐positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in current guidelines. However, comparisons of later generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) plus chemotherapy with allo‐HSCT have yielded similar outcomes. This meta‐analysis was performed to evaluate allo‐HSCT in...
Background
Hispanic populations in the United States experience numerous barriers to care access. It is unclear how cancer screening disparities between Hispanic and non‐Hispanic White individuals are explained by access to care, including having a usual source of care and health insurance coverage.
Methods
A secondary analysis of the 2019 National Health Interview Survey was conducted and included...
Management of brain tumors has been challenging given the limited therapeutic options and disabling morbidities associated with central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. This review focuses on recent developments in the field, with an emphasis on clinical management. The growing clinical trials landscape reflects advanced insights into cancer immunology and genomics and the need to address molecular...
Background
The optimal management of febrile stem cell transplant (SCT) patients presenting without severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≥ 500/µL) is unclear. The authors have developed iterative risk prediction models (Esbenshade Vanderbilt [EsVan] models) that reliably predict bloodstream infections (BSIs) in the febrile general pediatric oncology population without severe neutropenia,...
Background
There is a lack of studies assessing the survival of repeat sentinel lymph node biopsy (rSLNB) versus axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for surgical axillary staging among patients with ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR).
Methods
We retrospectively identified patients with IBTR from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2000 to 2017. The primary outcome...
Background
The nucleoside FF‐10502‐01, structurally similar to but with different biologic effects than gemcitabine, shows promising activity both alone and combined with cisplatin in preclinical gemcitabine‐resistant tumor models. We conducted an open‐label, single‐arm, 3 + 3 first‐in‐human trial to explore the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of FF‐10502‐01 in patients with solid tumors...
Background
Discrimination can adversely affect health and accelerate aging, but little is known about these relationships in cancer survivors. This study examines associations of discrimination and aging among self‐identified African American survivors.
Methods
A population‐based sample of 2232 survivors 20–79 years old at diagnosis were enrolled within 5 years of breast (n = 787), colorectal (...
