Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the prevalence of PD-L1 expression in vulvar cancer, which may be an indicator of how well patients will respond to immunotherapy using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.
  • A meta-analysis of 19 studies found an overall PD-L1 positivity rate of 83.4% when using the Combined Positive Score (CPS) and 53.9% with the Tumor Proportion Score (TPS).
  • The analysis indicated no significant difference in PD-L1 prevalence between HPV-positive and HPV-negative vulvar squamous cell carcinomas, and similar rates were observed in both advanced and localized stages of vulvar cancer.

Objectives: Base-of-tongue (BOT)/tonsillar cancer incidence is rising, primarily due to human papillomavirus; meanwhile, rates of the mainly smoking-associated laryngeal cancer is declining. Little is known about whether these trends are seen in all socioeconomic levels and age-groups. We describe incidence trends of BOT/tonsillar and laryngeal cancer in Denmark 1994-2018 by educational level and age.

Beta-blockers have shown antineoplastic effects in laboratory studies but epidemiologic evidence in relation to contralateral breast cancer (CBC) is sparse. We investigated postdiagnosis beta-blocker use and risk of CBC in a cohort of 52 723 women with breast cancer by using nationwide Danish health registers and the Danish Breast Cancer Group database. We defined postdiagnosis beta-blocker use as a time-varying covariate starting 1 year after a second prescription was redeemed.

Purpose: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis is rare. Some studies have suggested that the incidence is increasing but the available literature is equivocal. We examined the incidence of high-grade penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN), the incidence and 5-year relative survival as well as mortality of penile SCC in Denmark over the latest 20 years.
