Deep learning-based automatic delineation of anal cancer gross tumour volume: a multimodality comparison of CT, PET and MRI

Aurora Rosvoll Groendahl, Yngve Mardal Moe, Christine Kiran Kaushal, Bao Ngoc Huynh, Espen Rusten, Oliver Tomic, Eivor Hernes, Bettina Hanekamp, Christine Undseth, Marianne Gronlie Guren, Eirik Malinen, Cecilia Marie Futsaether

Summary: This study evaluated the applicability of deep learning for automatic delineation of the gross tumor volume in ASCC patients, comparing the effects of single and multimodality image combinations. Training a 2D U-Net CNN model resulted in high Dice scores for both datasets of 86 and 36 patients. The highest performance was observed with a multimodal combination of PET and ceCT.

Survival Trends of Right- and Left-Sided Colon Cancer across Four Decades: A Norwegian Population-Based Study

Julian Hamfjord, Tor Age Myklebust, Inger Kristin Larsen, Elin H. Kure, Bengt Glimelius, Tormod K. Guren, Kjell M. Tveit, Marianne G. Guren

Summary: Patients with right-sided colon cancer (RCC) and left-sided colon cancer (LCC) have different clinical and molecular characteristics. Over the past four decades, LCC patients have shown gradually improving survival and recurrence outcomes, particularly for advanced disease. These findings highlight the importance of studying molecular subgroups within different tumor locations to improve patient outcomes.

E-cadherin is a robust prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer and low expression is associated with sensitivity to inhibitors of topoisomerase, aurora, and HSP90 in preclinical models

Jarle Bruun, Peter W. Eide, Christian Holst Bergsland, Oscar Bruck, Aud Svindland, Mariliina Arjama, Katja Valimaki, Merete Bjornslett, Marianne G. Guren, Olli Kallioniemi, Arild Nesbakken, Ragnhild A. Lothe, Teijo Pellinen

Summary: This study analyzed the protein expression of ECAD, ITGB4, ZO-1, and cytokeratins in colorectal cancer patients, finding that ECAD, ITGB4, and ZO-1 were positively associated with survival, while cytokeratins were negatively associated. ECAD showed independent prognostic value and potential sensitivity to various inhibitors in preclinical models. The study suggests that E-cadherin protein expression could serve as a robust prognostic biomarker in CRC.

Summary: This study analyzed data from the Norwegian Colorectal Cancer Registry to describe treatment pathways and survival of rectal cancer patients not eligible for curative treatment. The study found that almost 40% of patients did not receive curative-intent treatment, and there were significant variations in treatment journeys and outcomes.

Crolla, Mathijs P. Hendriks, Jaume Capdevila, Calin Radu, Cornelis J. H. van de Velde, Per J. Nilsson, Bengt Glimelius, Boudewijn van Etten, Corrie A. M. Marijnen

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of total neoadjuvant treatment on health-related quality of life, bowel function, and late toxicity in locally advanced rectal cancer patients. The results demonstrate that total neoadjuvant treatment does not compromise patients' quality of life and bowel function, and it does not result in more severe toxicity when compared to standard chemoradiotherapy.

The survival gap between young and older patients after surgical resection for colorectal cancer remains largely based on early mortality: A EURECCA comparison of four European countries.

Summary: This study investigates the survival gap between young and older patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) in four European countries. The results show that older patients have a worse survival rate during the first year after surgery compared to younger patients. However, after surviving the first year, the survival gap is mainly observed in stage III disease.

Summary: Squamous-cell carcinoma of the anus (ASCC) is a rare disease with barriers to conducting research, but researchers' collaboration has been a prime example of cooperation. Through bibliometric analysis, common patterns in anal cancer research over the past 20 years have been identified, particularly in prevention and screening and overall management. Emerging research topics include imaging, biomarkers, and patient-reported outcomes.

Systematic review of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) issues associated with gastric cancer: capturing cross-cultural differences

Alison Rowsell, Samantha C. Sodergren, Vassilios Vassiliou, Anne-Sophie Darlington, Marianne G. Guren, Bilal Alkhaffaf, Chantelle Moorbey, Kristopher Dennis, Mistumi Terada

Summary: The treatment landscape for gastric cancer is constantly evolving, and it is important to monitor the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients. This review explores the HRQoL measures used in patients with gastric cancer across different cultures, including East Asia. The study found that while some Western measures were widely used, there were also specific measures developed within East Asian countries.

Summary: This study tested the psychometric properties and acceptability of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) health-related quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-ANL27) for anal cancer. The results showed that the QLQ-ANL27 has good psychometric properties and is acceptable for use in measuring specific concerns of anal cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.

Summary: Although progress has been made in breast cancer research, the mechanisms behind metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are still poorly understood. However, recent clinical trials have expanded treatment options for patients in this area. While many questions remain unanswered, conducting an academic and international study like AURORA is crucial for advancing knowledge about MBC.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze tumor characteristics in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) using pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and during chemoradiotherapy (CRT), and to compare the changes between responders and nonresponders to CRT. The results showed that changes in tumor volume and diameter during early CRT could serve as easily assessable imaging-based biomarkers for evaluating treatment response.

Summary: The molecular profile of early-onset colonic cancer is not well-defined. This study analyzed the clinicopathological features and oncological outcomes of young patients with colonic cancer according to microsatellite status. The results showed that early-onset colonic cancer patients had a higher prevalence of microsatellite instability (MSI) and were associated with family history, proximal colon lesions, and BRAF/KRAS mutations. Compared with older patients with MSI cancers, early-onset patients with MSI tumors had more adverse pathological features.
