Epithelial Ovarian cancer is the most lethal and silent gynaecological tumor and relapses in about 75% of cases. Retrospective data supported the superiority of secondary cytoreduction surgery (SCS) plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone; in order to best select patients for SCS literature established a clinical score based on ascites, performance status, and absence of residual disease to primary surgery. The present study analyzed the outcomes and pattern of relapse of a population with first relapse of ovarian cancer undergoing secondary surgery without residual tumor divided into two groups based on the type of treatment at the first diagnosis (primary debulking surgery [PDS] or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery [IDS]).

上皮性卵巢癌是最致命和沉默的妇科肿瘤,约75%的病例复发。回顾性数据支持二次细胞减少手术(SCS)加化疗优于单独化疗;为了最好地选择SCS患者,文献建立了一个基于腹水、功能状态和初级手术无残留疾病的临床评分。本研究分析了首次复发的无肿瘤残留的卵巢癌二次手术患者的预后和复发模式,根据首次诊断时的治疗方式分为两组(原发性减瘤手术[PDS]或新辅助化疗后间隔减瘤手术[IDS])。这是意大利博洛尼亚妇科肿瘤中心对2009年1月至2019年12月期间接受SCS治疗的卵巢癌患者进行的一项观察性回顾性研究,检索自电子数据1意大利博洛尼亚Azienda ospedaliero -博洛尼亚大学IRCCS肿瘤科2意大利博洛尼亚大学Alma Mater Studiorum应用生物医学研究中心3意大利博洛尼亚博洛尼亚大学通讯作者:

The published studies of patients with COVID-19 and cancer are done on hospitalized patients, and data on early outpatient treatment of symptomatic COVID-19 cancer patients are unavailable in English literature. This study included a retrospective, single-center case series of 20 consecutive symptomatic non-hospitalized adults with laboratory confirmed or probable COVID-19 infection. The diagnosis of pneumonia was done with portable ultrasound (US). The treatment was based on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) plus azithromycin (AZ), drugs allowed during the first wave. Oxygen was delivered when necessary, and enoxaparine was done in bedridden patients. The primary endpoint was clinical improvement or hospitalization considered as worsening of clinical conditions. The secondary endpoints were mortality at day 30 and at day 60. A finger oximeter was delivered to each patient and all patients were monitored by tele-medicine, the side effects of treatment were registered and reported. From March 13rd to May 26th, 2020, 180 patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 infection or with epidemiologically linked exposure to a person with laboratory confirmed infection were managed at home for COVID-19 in the district of Piacenza, Emilia Romagna Region. Among these 180 patients, 20 (11.11%) had cancer and form the basis of this report. There were 13 females (65%) and 7 males (35%), the majority of cancers were breast (40%) and gastrointestinal (30%). Seven patients (35%) were on active anticancer treatment when infected and all with metastatic disease, 13 patients (65%)

The SWI/SNF (Switch/Sucrose non-fermentable) complex is a key epigenetic regulator that is conserved across different species. While its functions as a gene expression regulator have been widely characterized, new evidences suggest that it can act as a fundamental modulator of metabolic pathways both in physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we summarized the most recent literature addressing molecular interactions involving members of the SWI/SNF complex and metabolic pathways.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which is still far from over, is continuing to take center stage in most debates on current cancer research and care. A year after Covid-19 outbreak and the first lockdown, it is clear that the disease had a heavy toll on cancer patients impacting on every stage from screening to diagnosis and treatment (1-3). With the availability of antiSARS-CoV2 vaccines, recent debates focused also on the vaccination strategies for cancer patients and for those eligible to access oncology clinical trials (4, 5). In our previous issue we discussed how the pandemic affected the number of new cancer diagnoses, showing a reduction compared to the same period in the preceding year (1, 6), and our authors presented some of the challenges faced from oncologists during the first wave of the pandemic (7, 8). In this issue of Annals of Research in Oncology, Lucia Fratino and Diego Serraino focus on some clear cut questions regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection, cancer, cancer therapies and immune suppression which demand attention and, possibly, guidelines, although recommendations for the management of cancer patients in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been mostly produced outside the traditional “Evidence Based” benchmark because of the urgency (9). 1 Department of Medical Biotechnologies, University of Siena, Siena, Italy 2 Sbarro Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine, Center for Biotechnology, College of Science and Technology, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA 3 Oncologia Medica, Clinical Cancer Center, AUSL-IRCCS, Reggio Emilia, Italy 4 Cell Biology and Biotherapy Unit, Istituto Nazionale Tumori-IRCCS-Fondazione G.

Covid-19大流行仍远未结束,但在有关当前癌症研究和护理的大多数辩论中,它继续占据中心位置。在2019冠状病毒病爆发和第一次封锁一年后,很明显,这种疾病对癌症患者造成了沉重的代价,影响了从筛查到诊断和治疗的每个阶段(1-3)。随着抗sars - cov2疫苗的可用性,最近的争论也集中在癌症患者和有资格获得肿瘤临床试验的人的疫苗接种策略上(4,5)。在我们的上期杂志中,我们讨论了大流行如何影响新癌症诊断的数量,显示与去年同期相比有所减少(1,6),我们的作者介绍了肿瘤学家在第一波大流行期间面临的一些挑战(7)。8)在这期《肿瘤研究年报》中,Lucia Fratino和Diego Serraino重点讨论了一些关于SARS-CoV-2感染、癌症、癌症治疗和免疫抑制的明确问题,这些问题需要关注,并可能需要制定指南,尽管由于紧迫性,在SARS-CoV-2感染背景下对癌症患者的管理建议大多是在传统的“基于证据”的基准之外提出的(9)。锡耶纳大学,锡耶纳,意大利2 Sbarro癌症研究和分子医学研究所,生物技术中心,天普大学,费城,宾夕法尼亚州3肿瘤学医学,临床癌症中心,AUSL-IRCCS,雷焦埃米利亚,意大利4细胞生物学和生物治疗单位,国立肿瘤研究所- irccs -基金会G.

In metastatic soft tissue sarcomas (mSTS) second and further line of therapy are poorly defined. However many patients (pts), after first line therapy including Antracyclines progress in their disease and ask to be treated. Oral cyclophosphamide (CPM) was already used in breast cancer, prostate cancer and in one study in mSTS with contrasting results. Aim of our study was to define the feasibility, tolerability and activity of oral CPM as second and further line chemotherapy in mSTS patients: 45 pts (19 M; 26 F) median age 60 (32-81), with pretreated mSTS were included. Oral CPM was given daily at total dose of 50 mg/day without interruption excepted for toxicity or progressive disease. Results: leiomyosarcoma 12, liposarcoma 10, MPNST 5, synovialsarcoma 4, indifferentiated sarcoma 4, other rarer subtypes 10. Sites of the primary tumor were: extremities 21, retroperitoneum 19, trunk 5.41 pts were metastatic, 4 locally relapsed. All 45 pts were pretreated with chemotherapy (17 were in II line, 18 in III line, 8 in IV line, 2 in V line). Median PS (ECOG) was 2. Median duration of therapy was 4.4 months (from 1 to 38 months). The 6-month PFS rate was 46%. Treatment was well tolerated: neutropenia grade 2 in 1 case, fatigue grade 2 in 7 patients, nausea grade 1-2 in 22 cases. No grade 3-4 side effects were recorded.
