Background: Although the benefit of supportive care in the postcancer period is now well demonstrated, its implementation in the patient journey remains challenging. This article describes the development, since 2015 and in routine care, of supportive postcancer care comprising a multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme (MRP) based on exercise for patients with early breast cancer.

Methods: As part of quality control, we reviewed all patient files since the programme was implemented.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on individualized dosing of niraparib for patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC), revealing that most patients required treatment modifications due to adverse events (AEs) during the first three months.
  • A significant proportion of patients (62%) experienced AEs, with common issues including fatigue, insomnia, and thrombocytopenia, highlighting the physical and emotional burden of the therapy.
  • The findings indicated that physicians often underestimated these symptoms, emphasizing the importance of patient self-reporting for a comprehensive understanding of treatment-related challenges.

Context And Aims: Eribulin is used in taxane and anthracycline refractory HER2-negative metastatic breast cancers (MBC). Patients treated in pivotal clinical trials achieved low survival rates, therefore, the identification of prognostic criteria for long progression-free survival (PFS) is still an unmet medical need. In this study, we sought to determine potential prognostic criteria for long-term eribulin response in HER2-negative MBC.

Locusts are grasshoppers that migrate and devastate food security, yet little is known about the nutritional needs of marching bands in nature. While it has been hypothesized that protein limitation promotes locust marching behavior, migration is fueled by dietary carbohydrates. We studied South American Locust () bands at eight sites across Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay.

Resistance of advanced hormone-dependent endometrial carcinoma to endocrine therapy remains a worldwide clinical issue. We recently reported that the combination of Vistusertib (V, mTOR inhibitor) and Anastrozole (A, aromatase inhibitor) improves the progression-free rate compared to Anastrozole alone. However, a better patient selection based on biomarkers would improve patient outcome.
