Association of Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes With Recurrence Score in Hormone Receptor-positive/HER2-negative Breast Cancer: Analysis of Four Prospective Studies
The clinical value of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2- breast cancer (BC) may be unearthed by focusing on more biologically aggressive tumors. Here we deepen and describe the correlation between RS and TILs, proposing an immuno-genomic model for HR+/HER2- BC. (Source: European Journal of Cancer)

Systematic review and meta-analysis of immune checkpoint inhibitors as single agent or in combination with chemotherapy in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: impact of clinicopathological factors and indirect comparison between treatment strategies
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) revolution is rapidly moving from metastatic to early-stage, however, the impact of clinicopathological variables and optimal treatment sequencing remain unclear. (Source: European Journal of Cancer)

Immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with cancers of unknown primary
Collectively, cancers of unknown primary (CUP) account for 2 –5% of all diagnosed cancers and are often associated with a poor prognosis [1]. Previous clinical trials using conventional chemotherapy in CUP patients did not yield the anticipated survival improvements [2]. Despite the transformative impact of precision medicine in various tumour types, addres sing CUP remained elusive despite exploring site-specific therapy and targeted therapies [3]. The former was guided by the traditional oncology approach of targeting the organ of origin however, a meta-analysis of the studies evaluating site-specific therapy did not s...

Clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of luminal-like breast tumors with estrogen receptor loss at metastatic recurrence: a case-control study.
Estrogen receptor (ER) loss at metastatic relapse occurs in up to 20% of luminal-like primary breast tumors. Data about clinicopathological features associated with ER loss and its prognostic significance are limited. (Source: European Journal of Cancer)

Negative hyperselection of elderly patients with RAS and BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer receiving initial panitumumab plus FOLFOX or 5-FU/LV
Upfront anti-EGFR therapy represents the standard of care for patients with left-sided, MSS/pMMR, RAS and BRAF wild-type mCRC. Molecular “hyperselection” may maximize the therapeutic index of EGFR inhibition by detecting additional resistance alterations. (Source: European Journal of Cancer)

Quality indicators for systemic anticancer therapy services: a systematic review of metrics used to compare quality across healthcare facilities
The number of systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) regimens has expanded rapidly over the last decade with the introduction of immunotherapy, small molecule targeted cancer medicines, and cell therapies. There is a need to ensure quality of SACT delivery across cancer services and systems in different resource settings to reduce morbidity, mortality, and detrimental economic impact at individual and systems level. Existing literature on SACT focuses on treatment efficacy with few studies on quality or how SACT is delivered within routine care in comparison to radiation and surgical oncology.
