Vascular events from carotid artery atherosclerosis after radiation therapy for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer: the incidence and risk factors.
Authors: Makita C, Okada S, Kajiura Y, Tanaka O, Asahi Y, Yamada N, Yanagida M, Kumagai M, Murase S, Ito M, Kumano T, Matsuo M Abstract In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated the incidence of vascular events from carotid artery atherosclerosis after radiotherapy indication for laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer. From January 2007 to December 2016, we investigated 111 laryngeal/hypopharyngeal cancer patients who underwent curative radiotherapy and were followed up for ≥1 year (median follow-up duration, 60 months). We evaluated the incidence of vascular events from carotid artery atherosclerosis, define...

Management of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma Using  Intra-Arterial Chemotherapy With Osmotic Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption: Retrospective Analysis of the Sherbrooke Cohort
ConclusionCIAC using HD-MTX-based protocols with OBBBD is a safe and well-tolerated procedure for the management of PCNSL. Our data suggests better PFS and survival outcomes compared to IV protocols with less hematologic toxicity and good tolerability, especially in the elderly.

Effective chemotherapy and targeted therapy supplemented with stereotactic radiotherapy of a patient with metastatic colon cancer following renal transplantation: a case report
ConclusionsSince information is scarce regarding oncological treatment of patients following organ transplantation, data about their oncological treatment is essential. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to describe the successful chemotherapy and targeted therapy supplemented with stereotactic radiotherapy of a posttransplant patient with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 1732: Substance P Antagonism Prevents Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity
Conclusions: Our studies indicate that the SP/NK1-R system is a key mediator that induces, DOX-induced, cardiac dysfunction, cardiac apoptosis, cardiac oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. These studies implicate that NK-1R antagonists may serve as a novel therapeutic tool for prevention of chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity in cancer.

Adverse Cerebral Cardiovascular Events Associated With Checkpoint Kinase 1 Inhibitors: A Systemic Review
Abstract: Checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) plays a broad role in regulating the cell cycle process and is involved in the pathogenesis of various malignant tumors. Preclinical and animal studies have shown that CHK1 inhibitors can enhance the cytotoxic effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Currently, CHK1 inhibitors are actively tested in clinical trials. Nonspecific adverse cerebral cardiovascular events were reported after CHK1 inhibitor use; these events need to be monitored and managed carefully during the clinical application of CHK1 inhibitors. To get a better understanding of these, noteworthy adverse cardiovascul...

Patterns of thromboembolism in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer undergoing 1st-line chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel
CONCLUSION: Patients with aPC undergoing palliative 1st-line chemotherapy with FOLFIRINOX or GN face a high risk for VTE/ATE and its diagnosis is linked to worse clinical outcomes. VTE-risk prediction models have limited ability to sub-stratify thrombotic events in this high-risk scenario.PMID:34255340 | DOI:10.1055/a-1548-4847

Bringing WISDOM to Breast Cancer Care
Dr. Laura Esserman answers the door of her bright yellow Victorian home in San Francisco’s Ashbury neighborhood with a phone at her ear. She’s wrapping up one of several meetings that day with her research team at University of California, San Francisco, where she heads the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. She motions me in and reseats herself at a makeshift home office desk in her living room, sandwiched between a grand piano and set of enormous windows overlooking her front yard’s flower garden. It’s her remote base of operations when she’s not seeing patients or operating at the hospita...

Comparison of impedance cardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of cardiac function in early-stage breast cancer patients
Objective. Breast cancer treatment can negatively impact cardiac function in some breast cancer patients. Current methods (MUGA, echocardiography) used in clinical practice to detect abnormal cardiac changes as a result of treatment suffer from important limitations. Use of alternative techniques that would offer safe, inexpensive and non-invasive cardiac function assessment in this population would be highly advantageous. The aim of this study was to examine the agreement between impedance cardiography (ICG) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in quantifying stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) and end-d...

Baseline cardiovascular comorbidities, and the influence on cancer treatment decision-making in women with breast cancer
CONCLUSION: While recent guidelines recommend routine assessment of cardiovascular comorbidities in cancer patients prior to initiation of anticancer therapies, this study highlights the prevailing gap in knowledge on how such data may be used to optimise cancer treatment decision-making.PMID:34824616 | PMC:PMC8580595 | DOI:10.3332/ecancer.2021.1293
