It is a well-known fact that severe obesity is associated with the metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other diseases. Epidemiological studies have suggested that obesity is also associated with increased risk of several cancer types. The number of people who are suffering from severe obesity is growing, and clinical data suggest that severely obese patients belong to a unique population with regards to risk, efficacy of screening, and cancer treatment. This review will point out the potential mechanism linking obesity and cancer and will discuss several challenges in various treatment modalities of cancer in obese patients.

Exclusive endocrine therapy or partial breast irradiation for women aged >_70 years with luminal A-like early stage breast cancer (NCT04134598 EUROPA): Proof of concept of a randomized controlled trial comparing health related quality of life by patient reported outcome measures -

Icro Meattini, Philip M. P. Poortmans, Livia Marrazzo, Isacco Desideri, Etienne Brain, Marije Hamaker, Matteo Lambertini, Guido Miccinesi, Nicola Russell, Calogero Saieva, Vratislav Strnad, Luca Visani, Orit Kaidar-Person, Lorenzo Livi

Summary: The EUROPA trial is a randomized trial focusing on breast cancer patients aged 70 years and older, aiming to compare the effectiveness of partial breast irradiation versus endocrine therapy alone. The trial focuses on patient's health-related quality of life and aims to demonstrate non-inferiority in terms of local control rate between the two treatment arms. It is hoped that this trial will provide a more precise treatment approach for older adults with breast cancer.

Medical Cannabis in Oncology: a Valuable Unappreciated Remedy or an Undesirable Risk?

Mahmoud Abu-Amna, Talal Salti, Mona Khoury, Idan Cohen, Gil Bar-Sela

Summary: With the increasing demand for cannabis among cancer patients, there is a clear need for more reliable scientific data and clinical evidence to support its use, along with specific guidelines for dosages and cannabinoid concentrations in products. Physicians should prescribe cannabis cautiously, ensuring thorough evaluation and follow-up response assessment.

Cancer patients attending treatment during COVID-19: intolerance of uncertainty and psychological distress

Miri Cohen, Dana Yagil, Ariel Aviv, Michal Soffer, Gil Bar-Sela

Summary: This study aimed to assess the experience, perceptions, and reactions of cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic using a mixed-methods design. The findings suggest that most cancer patients viewed the pandemic as a major threat, but their level of psychological distress was low. Health experts should pay attention to the emotional and support needs of cancer patients and identify those with high intolerance of uncertainty as a risk factor for psychological distress in times of extreme uncertainty like COVID-19.

Effective Patient Selection for an Oncology-Dedicated Emergency Service: A Retrospective Study

Ilit Turgeman, Gil Bar-Sela

Summary: The study aimed to identify characteristics of patients most fitting for treatment in an oncology-dedicated emergency department (OED). Results showed that OED provides efficacious, cancer-focused care suitable for the majority of acute admissions. Careful triage is recommended, as high-risk patients should be referred to the general emergency department (GED) where advanced multidisciplinary management is more readily available.

Advance Care Planning and Attainment of Cancer Patients' End-of-Life Preferences: Relatives' Perspective

Gil Bar-Sela, Aviad Tur-Sinai, Noa Givon-Schaham, Netta Bentur

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether an advance directives (AD) document or an end-of-life discussion between patient and family (DwF) improves cancer patients' likelihood of receiving preferred treatments and dying in their preferred place. The study found that conducting a DwF and having an AD document were significantly associated with treatment consistency and preferred place of death. The study highlights the importance of advance care planning in improving end-of-life care.

Summary: Since January 2022, high-risk populations in Israel have been advised to receive a fourth dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine for protection against SARS-CoV-2. This study monitored the vaccine-induced immunity among oncology patients undergoing anti-cancer therapy before and after the fourth dose of BNT162b2. The results showed that antibody levels were higher in patients who had breakthrough infections or received the fourth dose, compared to the control group.
