Summary: Besides oncogenic pathways within tumor cells, host and environmental factors play a significant role in cancer immunosurveillance and the efficacy of immunotherapeutics. The emerging field of investigation focuses on the complex interactions between intestinal microbes, gut immunity, and anti-tumor responses.

Summary: This study compared clinical-pathological and psychosocial variables between obese and nonobese individuals with colon cancer. It found that obese patients are more likely to have comorbidities, experience more pain after cancer surgery, exhibit worse coping mechanisms, and have higher rates of depression and lower perceived social support. Additionally, obese patients were more likely to discontinue chemotherapy and experience greater recurrence rates compared to nonobese patients.

Summary: Chemotherapy in older patients with early breast cancer has a significant negative impact on quality of life at 6 months, affecting various aspects such as global health score, physical, role, and social functioning. However, this impact diminishes by 18-24 months, highlighting the importance of informed decision-making for older patients considering chemotherapy.

Summary: The study found that YACCS are vulnerable to psychosocial difficulties but also experience positive long-term impacts of childhood cancer. Positive and negative impacts of childhood cancer were associated with psychosocial outcomes in YACCS. Screening of psychosocial outcomes and offering targeted interventions are necessary to optimize psychosocial long-term follow-up care for YACCS.

Summary: The aim of this study was to design an individualised questionnaire to measure the impact of cancer and its treatments on quality of life. Through item selection, face validity and content validity, the CancerDQoL questionnaire was developed and confirmed to be valid for use in English-speaking cancer patients in Zimbabwe and the UK.

Summary: The study found that one-third of young women with breast cancer were affected by fertility concerns when making decisions about endocrine therapy, with parity at diagnosis being the main factor associated with these concerns. Women with fertility-related concerns were more likely to be nonpersistent in their endocrine therapy use compared to those without fertility concerns.

Summary: The study found that age has varying effects on survival rate disparities in different stages of colon cancer, while ethnicity and deprivation do not influence age disparities in survival rate. Timely cancer diagnosis plays a significant role in reducing age-related disparities in survival rate.

Summary: The study found that treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma at an academic center is associated with improved overall survival compared to community programs. Academic centers had more aggressive surgical treatment practices, and the survival benefit persisted even after controlling for treatment modality in multivariable analysis.

Summary: Colon cancer survivors may experience decreased quality of life and psychological well-being, including fatigue, depression, and anxiety as post-treatment consequences. However, there is limited quantitative data on the health outcomes of Tunisian colon cancer survivors. Therefore, holistic and multi-disciplinary care is crucial for these patients.

Summary: The study found significant differences in age sensitivity among different measures of autobiographical memory, with word-cued autobiographical memory showing the biggest deficit in older adults. This suggests that measurements of autobiographical memory ability are not interchangeable, with specificity being particularly sensitive to aging and detail being influenced by retention interval and event type.

Summary: Colon adenocarcinoma is a common and lethal malignancy where chemotherapy plays a crucial role. The gut microbiome is important in colon cancer development and treatment, with antibiotics potentially impacting clinical outcomes. Further research is needed to explore microbiota interventions for improved chemotherapy outcomes in colon cancer patients.
