Referral patterns of GIST patients: data from a nationwide study
CONCLUSION: A substantial amount of metastatic GIST patients in non-reference centers did not receive systemic treatment. This might be due to valid reasons. However, optimisation of the referral strategy of GIST patients in the Netherlands could benefit patients. Further research is needed to explore reasons for not starting systemic treatment in metastatic GIST patients.PMID:38353407 | DOI:10.2340/1651-226X.2024.23722 (Source: Acta Oncologica)

Methylphenidate for treating fatigue in palliative cancer care - effect and side effects in real-world data from a palliative care unit
CONCLUSION: Methylphenidate is generally effective and well-tolerated for the treatment of CRF in palliative care. However, patients with a short life expectancy (<4 weeks) seem to benefit less from the treatment regardless of age, cancer type and dose.PMID:38348853 | DOI:10.2340/1651-226X.2024.24156 (Source: Acta Oncologica)

Evaluation of in vitro irradiation setup: Designed for the horizontal beamline at the Danish Centre for Particle Therapy
CONCLUSION: Cell survival curves could be produced with acceptable uncertainties using this novel water phantom and cellular laboratory workflow. The setup is useful for future in vitro irradiation experiments.PMID:38349282 | DOI:10.2340/1651-226X.2024.19657 (Source: Acta Oncologica)

Childhood cancer incidence and survival in the Faroe Islands, 1960 to 2019
CONCLUSION: Childhood cancer in the Faroes was slightly rarer than in most other high-income countries. Brain and spinal tumors were the most common cancer group in Faroese children. Survival for Faroese children with cancer has improved substantially in the study period.PMID:38332589 | DOI:10.2340/1651-226X.2024.27110 (Source: Acta Oncologica)
