Mutational Signature Changes in Patients With Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anal Canal
CONCLUSION: Patients with SCCA demonstrate a high degree of temporal mutational heterogeneity. This supports the hypothesis that ctDNA can serve as a real-time tracking mechanism for solid tumors' molecular evolution in response to therapy. Our findings highlight the potential of ctDNA in identifying emerging actionable mutations, supplementing information from tissue-based genomic assessments. Further research, ideally with larger and multi-institutional cohorts, is needed to validate our findings in this relatively rare tumor type.PMID:38103030 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad326 (Source: The Oncologist)

Methotrexate Scarcity Among Children's Oncology Group Institutions: Results of a Multinational Survey
Oncologist. 2023 Dec 9:oyad323. doi: 10.1093/oncolo/oyad323. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTShortages of curative chemotherapy agents for children and adults with cancer are ubiquitous. These shortages directly result in compromised outcomes, increased medication errors, heightened cost to health systems, and patient deaths. Methotrexate is a staple of many curative childhood cancer regimens and is frequently in scarcity. No national guidance to manage methotrexate and other chemotherapy shortages exists. To assess the effect of the current methotrexate shortage, a multinational survey of Children's Oncology Group (COG) mem...

Efficacy of Single-Agent Chemotherapy in Endocrine Therapy-Refractory Metastatic Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
CONCLUSION: In ET-refractory HR+ HER2-negative mILC, single-agent CAP demonstrated superior PFS compared to TAX. Our findings highlight the potential benefit of CAP in this patient subset, warranting further investigation through prospective trials.PMID:38070191 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad317 (Source: The Oncologist)
