A Novel Germline Mutation of BRCA1 and Integrated Analysis With Somatic Mutation in a Chinese Multi-Cancer Family
This study investigated the genomic mutations in a Chinese family with a history of ovarian, breast, and rectal adenocarcinoma. A novel germline mutation (Phe1695Val) in BRCA1 was identified through whole-exome sequencing. Subsequently, we performed whole-genome sequencing to identify somatic mutations and analyze mutational signatures in individuals carrying the novel germline mutation. Our findings revealed a correlation between somatic mutational signatures and the BRCA1 germline mutation in the proband with ovarian cancer, while no such association was observed in the tumor tissue from the patient with breast cancer. F...

Localized Myxofibrosarcoma: A Retrospective Analysis of Primary Therapy and Prognostic Factors in 134 Patients in a Single Institution
CONCLUSION: Adjuvant radiation had a positive impact on LRFS in all localized tumor stages, even in cT1 tumors. Chemotherapy did not have a significant impact on DMFS, regardless of tumor stage. Our findings indicate that myxofibrosarcoma may be a chemotherapy-resistant entity and a much closer monitoring is required, in case of neoadjuvant treatment.PMID:38141181 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad332 (Source: The Oncologist)

Transarterial Radioembolization for Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Oncologist. 2023 Dec 21:oyad327. doi: 10.1093/oncolo/oyad327. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTransarterial radioembolization (TARE) with Yttrium-90 (Y90) is a growing area of study due to its benefits in early-, intermediate-, and late-stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Treatment intent, including curative therapy, bridging to transplant, and downstaging disease, informs treatment approach and dosimetry goals. Radiation lobectomy (RL) and radiation segmentectomy (RS) are the 2 main forms of Y90 administration which have shown improved survival outcomes with the development of personalized dosimetry. RS aims to achieve complete...
