How many Italian cancer patients are eligible for, and may respond to, Italian Medicines Agency-approved checkpoint immune inhibitors?
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, although the number of ICI-eligible patients is a relatively small proportion of the yearly burden of cancers, about half of them may respond to ICI-treatment.PMID:38372036 | DOI:10.1177/03008916241229649 (Source: Tumori)

Melanoma and sex hormones: Pathogenesis, progressive disease and response to treatments
Tumori. 2024 Feb 19:3008916241231687. doi: 10.1177/03008916241231687. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCutaneous melanoma represents the fifth tumor in terms of incidence in young adults, with a major involvement of males than females. Despite the significant changes in available effective treatments for cutaneous melanoma, there is still a proportion of patients that do not benefit long-term disease control with immune checkpoint inhibitors and/or BRAF/MEK inhibitors, and eventually develop progressive disease. In addition to the emerging biomarkers under investigation to understand resistance to treatments, recent studies r...

Nivolumab in pretreated pleural mesothelioma: Results from an observational real-world study of patients treated within the AIFA 5% Fund
CONCLUSION: Nivolumab as a single agent is fairly active in a cohort of unselected pretreated pleural mesothelioma patients. Further investigations on clinical and translational factors are needed to define which patient might benefit most from nivolumab treatment in pleural mesothelioma.PMID:38372045 | DOI:10.1177/03008916241229287 (Source: Tumori)

The Italian Rare Biliary tract Cancer initiative (IRaBiCa): A multicentric observational study of Gruppo Oncologico dell'Italia Meridionale (GOIM) in collaboration with Gruppo Italiano Colangiocarcinoma (GICO)
CONCLUSIONS: We expect to gather novel data on rare histotypes of biliary tract cancer that will be useful to support their molecular and immunological characterization.PMID:38326240 | DOI:10.1177/03008916231222761 (Source: Tumori)

Novel insights into RB1 in prostate cancer lineage plasticity and drug resistance
Tumori. 2024 Feb 5:3008916231225576. doi: 10.1177/03008916231225576. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProstate cancer is the second most common malignancy among men in the world, posing a serious threat to men's health and lives. RB1 is the first human tumor suppressor gene to be described, and it is closely associated with the development, progression, and suppression of a variety of tumors. It was found that the loss of RB1 is an early event in prostate cancer development and is closely related to prostate cancer development, progression and treatment resistance. This paper reviews the current status of research on the rela...

Non-neoplastic cells as prognostic biomarkers in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A system review and meta-analysis
Tumori. 2024 Jan 5:3008916231221636. doi: 10.1177/03008916231221636. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe microenvironment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is composed of various components, including immune cells and immune checkpoints, some of which have been correlated with the prognosis of DLBCL, but their results remain controversial. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between the microenvironment and prognosis in DLBCL. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for relevant articles between 2001 and 2022. Twenty-five studies involving 4495 patients w...
