Effectiveness and safety of primary prophylaxis with G-CSF after induction therapy for acute myeloid leukemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the clinical practice guidelines for the use of G-CSF 2022 from the Japan society of clinical oncology
Int J Clin Oncol. 2024 Mar 18. doi: 10.1007/s10147-023-02465-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) reduces the incidence, duration, and severity of neutropenia, its prophylactic use for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains controversial due to a theoretically increased risk of relapse. The present study investigated the effects of G-CSF as primary prophylaxis for AML with remission induction therapy. A detailed literature search for related studies was performed using PubMed, Ichushi-Web, and the Cochrane Library. Data were independently extracted and assessed by two review...

Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Model of Z-Endoxifen Concentrations in Tamoxifen-Treated Patients from the CEPAM Cohort
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2024 Mar 18. doi: 10.1002/cpt.3238. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTamoxifen is widely used in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The polymorphic enzyme CYP2D6 is primarily responsible for metabolic activation of tamoxifen, resulting in substantial interindividual variability of plasma concentrations of its most important metabolite, Z-endoxifen. The Z-endoxifen concentration thresholds below which tamoxifen treatment is less efficacious have been proposed but not validated, and prospective trials of individualized tamoxifen treatment to achieve Z-endoxifen concentration thresholds a...

Breast cancer derived exosomes: Theragnostic perspectives and implications
Clin Chim Acta. 2024 Mar 15:117875. doi: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.117875. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy affecting women worldwide. Although conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery, hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and biological therapy are commonly used, they often entail significant side effects. Therefore, there is a critical need to investigate more cost-effective and efficient treatment modalities in BC. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, play a crucial role in modulating recipient cell behaviour and driv...

Paraneoplastic cerebellar and brainstem disorders
Handb Clin Neurol. 2024;200:173-191. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-823912-4.00030-X.ABSTRACTParaneoplastic cerebellar and brainstem disorders are a heterogeneous group that requires prompt recognition and treatment to help prevent irreversible neurologic injury. Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is best characterized by Yo antibodies in patients with breast or ovarian cancer. Tr (DNER) antibodies in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma can also present with a pure cerebellar syndrome and is one of the few paraneoplastic syndromes found with hematological malignancy. Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome presents in both pediatric a...

Paraneoplastic/autoimmune myelopathies
Handb Clin Neurol. 2024;200:193-201. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-823912-4.00017-7.ABSTRACTParaneoplastic myelopathies are a rare but important category of myelopathy. They usually present with an insidious or subacute progressive neurologic syndrome. Risk factors include tobacco use and family history of cancer. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis usually shows lymphocytic pleocytosis with elevated protein. MRI findings suggest that paraneoplastic myelopathies include longitudinally extensive T2 hyperintensities that are tract-specific and accompanied by enhancement, but spinal MRIs can also be normal. The most commonly associated neu...

Paraneoplastic antibodies targeting intracellular antigens
Handb Clin Neurol. 2024;200:335-346. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-823912-4.00021-9.ABSTRACTAlthough they are relatively rare, the diagnosis of paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNS) can be aided by the identification of neural autoantibodies in patients' serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). They often clinically manifest as characteristic syndromes, including limbic encephalitis, opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome, paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, and paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis. The antibodies are directed either toward intracellular targets, or epitopes on the cell surface. As compared to cell surface antibodies, int...

Paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome associated with gynecologic and breast malignancies
Handb Clin Neurol. 2024;200:409-417. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-823912-4.00014-1.ABSTRACTGynecologic and breast malignancies are the cancers most commonly associated with paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes, of which the foremost is Yo [Purkinje cell antibody, type 1 (PCA-1)] paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration. Yo syndrome affects women in the sixth decade and manifests as a subacute severe cerebellar ataxia. The association of the typical clinical picture with the detection of Yo antibodies in a patient's serum or CSF defines the diagnosis. Yo syndrome is always associated with a cancer, and the search for the underlying ...

Association between thyroid disorders and extra-thyroidal cancers, a review
Clin Transl Oncol. 2024 Mar 15. doi: 10.1007/s12094-024-03434-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThyroid hormone has been shown to have both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing actions, which has led to significant debate over its involvement in the development of cancer. Proliferation, apoptosis, invasiveness, and angiogenesis are all aspects of cancer that are affected by the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, according to research conducted in animal models and in vitro experiments. The effects of thyroid hormones on cancer cells are mediated by many non-genomic mechanisms, one of which involves the activation of the plasma me...
