Thymic epithelial tumors are rare malignancies. Thymic carcinoma represents about 20% of all thymic epithelial tumors and has aggressive behavior, with a greater tendency to metastatic spread. Thymic carcinoma is often diagnosed in advanced stages for which systemic treatment is the main therapeutic option. The association of chemotherapy and antiangiogenic agents in the first-line setting has never been investigated in this very rare cancer. However, preclinical and clinical evidence has suggested that inhibition of angiogenesis could be beneficial. The RELEVENT trial is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study aimed at investigating the activity and safety of ramucirumab combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin in chemotherapy-naive patients affected by thymic carcinoma or B3 thymoma with area of carcinoma. The primary endpoint of the trial is the overall response rate. Progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety are secondary endpoints. Patient-reported outcomes will be collected at each visit. The mutational status of a subset of genes, polymorphisms, and selected micro-RNA expression will be evaluated. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Immunogenicity of two doses of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 vaccines for solid cancer patients on treatment with or without a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection

Tarkowski

Summary: This study evaluated the immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines in solid cancer patients, specifically those with or without previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2. The results showed that cancer patients previously exposed to the virus had similar vaccine response compared to healthy individuals, while clinical variables of immune frailty negatively affected the humoral immune response to vaccination.

Summary: Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is a rare, locally aggressive tumor that arises from the joints, bursa, and tendon sheaths. There are two types of TGCT: nodular and diffuse, with the former exhibiting a slow disease course and the latter showing locally aggressive behavior. Although not life-threatening, TGCT can cause chronic pain and negatively impact function and quality of life. CSFR1 inhibitors are effective in treating TGCT but are not widely available. The lack of guidelines and uncertainty in selecting appropriate therapy lead to inconsistent adoption of new treatments and suboptimal outcomes for patients. A global consensus meeting was held in June 2022 to develop evidence-based recommendations for the optimal management of TGCT.

INOVATYON/ ENGOT-ov5 study: Randomized phase III international study comparing trabectedin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) followed by platinum at progression vs carboplatin/PLD in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer progressing within 6-12 months after last platinum line

Summary: This trial aimed to investigate whether treatment with trabectedin/PLD (TP) to extend the platinum-free interval (TFIp) can improve overall survival (OS) in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer (OC). The results showed that TP did not significantly improve OS in patients with a TFIp of 6-12 months, but it remains an effective treatment for patients suffering from persistent platinum toxicities.

Increased incidence of rare cancers and varied age distributions by cancer group: A population-based cancer registry study in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

Summary: This study aimed to describe the burden and changing time trends of rare cancers in Hiroshima, Japan. The proportion of rare cancer families to total cancers was stable, but the incidence rates for head and neck cancers, neuroendocrine tumors, and hematological cancers significantly increased. This suggests that increased knowledge, improved diagnostic techniques, and aggressive treatment have led to an increase in rare cancers.

Host-Related Factors in the Interplay among Inflammation, Immunity and Dormancy in Breast Cancer Recurrence and Prognosis: An Overview for Clinicians

Lorenzo Ruggieri, Anna Moretti, Rossana Berardi, Maria Silvia Cona, Davide Dalu, Cecilia Villa, Davide Chizzoniti, Sheila Piva, Anna Gambaro, Nicla La Verde

Summary: A significant proportion of early breast cancer patients experience medium-term and late distant recurrence. The delayed manifestation of metastatic disease is known as dormancy, characterized by the clinical latency of isolated metastatic cancer cells. The regulation of dormancy involves complex interactions between disseminated cancer cells and their microenvironment, influenced by inflammation and immunity. This review aims to provide a useful tool for physicians and oncologists to understand the clinical implications of cancer dormancy.

Summary: This study investigated the prognostic significance of IL-6 serum levels before and during cemiplimab immunotherapy in patients with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. The results showed that high IL-6 levels were associated with poorer survival and shorter progression-free survival. Additionally, patients whose IL-6 levels increased after treatment had a worse response to immunotherapy compared to those with reduced or stable levels.

Summary: This retrospective study explored the role and timing of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a potential biomarker of response in patients with metastatic melanoma. Transcriptomic gene analysis revealed that high baseline NLR is associated with inflammation and tumorigenesis, while low baseline NLR is linked to immune activation. These findings suggest that NLR could serve as a potential biomarker for treatment strategy guidance in metastatic melanoma patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the rate of early breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant systemic therapy in Italy. It found that 13.9% of patients received this treatment. Various factors such as menopausal status, tumor size, lymph node involvement, grade, HER2 status, and triple negative subtype were associated with the decision to administer neoadjuvant therapy. The choice of therapy also varied based on the patient's phenotype subgroup.
