Molecular profiling and the impact of treatment on outcomes in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) type-I and II
CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed the previously reported associations with MYC and TP63 in the prognostically relevant subgroups of ACC-I and II, respectively, and report immunologic differences among these subtypes. Survival outcomes are comparatively worse in ACC-I regardless of treatment type.PMID:38416410 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3182 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

A Pooled Analysis of Treatment-Free Survival in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this post hoc partitioned survival analysis, TFS and TFS without toxicity appeared similar in the IO-TKI group compared to the SUN group. These findings may reflect continuation of TKI until progression per protocol design in all trials and discontinuation of IO after 2 years in 2 trials.PMID:38416426 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3719 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

All that is small is not a small cell carcinoma: Thoracic SMARCA4 undifferentiated tumors masquerading as SCLC
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-0227. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmall cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell lines have been widely utilized as a preclinical model of this highly aggressive disease. However, since their creation decades ago, novel tumor entities have been defined that may clinicopathologically mimic SCLC, which notably includes thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor (SMARCA4-UT). Multi-omic reassessment of the presumed SCLC cell lines with high YAP1 expression reveals that nearly all of these tumors represent unsuspected SMARCA4-UT.PMID:38416596 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.C...

Adult-onset cancer predisposition syndromes in children and adolescents - to test or not to test?
Clin Cancer Res. 2024 Feb 27. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3683. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith the increasing use of comprehensive germline genetic testing of children and adolescents with cancer, it has become evident that pathogenic variants (PVs) in adult-onset cancer predisposition genes (aoCPGs) underlying adult-onset cancer predisposition syndromes (aoCPS) such as Lynch syndrome or hereditary breast and ovarian cancer are enriched and reported in one to two percent of children and adolescents with cancer. However, the causal relationship between PVs in aoCPGs and childhood cancer is still under investigation. T...

Improved Innate Immune Function in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treated with Targeted Therapy in Clinical Trials
CONCLUSIONS: Innate immune impairment and infection susceptibility in CLL patients were restored in parallel during targeted therapy. Thus, targeted treatment may reduce the risk of infections in CLL, as currently under investigation in the PreVent-ACaLL phase 2 trial of acalabrutinib+venetoclax for high risk CLL (NCT03868722).PMID:38393694 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-2522 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)
