Immune checkpoint inhibitors-associated thrombosis in patients with head and neck cancer: a study of the Spanish society of medical oncology (SEOM) thrombosis and cancer group.

Purpose: Both venous and arterial thrombotic events (VTE/AT) can be associated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI). However, there is a paucity of information apropos patients in routine clinical practice.

Methods: /Patients.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated thrombosis in patients with bladder and kidney cancer: a study of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) thrombosis and cancer group.

Purpose: Both venous and arterial thrombotic events (VTE/AT) can be associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). However, there is a paucity of information apropos patients in routine clinical practice.

Methods/patients: Retrospective, multicenter study promoted by the Thrombosis and Cancer Section of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM).

Pedf derived peptides affect colorectal cancer cell lines resistance and tumour re-growth capacity.

Relapse after chemotherapy treatment depends on the cancer initiating cells (CICs). PEDF (Pigmented Epithelium Derived Factor) is an anti-angiogenic, neurotrophic and self-renewal regulator molecule, also involved in CICs biology. Acute and chronic exposition of colon cancer cell lines to CT/CTE PEDF-derived peptides decreased drug-resistance to conventional colorectal cancer treatments, such as oxaliplatin or irinotecan.

Dramatic complete response in patient with lung adenocarcinoma.

The poor prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is changing thanks to the constant development of new treatments and the introduction of target therapies, even in stage IV disease. This patient had bone metastases when he was diagnosed. Maintenance treatment, a much discussed topic nowadays, achieved a dramatic complete response.

Skull base chondrosarcoma: a case treated by the CyberKnife system.

Skull base chondrosarcomas represent 2% of all chondrosarcomas. They usually have a low grade of malignity and a complete resection may be curative. However, often they are considered irresectable because of the difficult approach and another kind of treatment is needed.
