Pericardial disease is increasingly recognized in cancer patients, including acute pericarditis, pericardial effusion, and constrictive pericarditis, often indicating a poor prognosis. Acute pericarditis arises from direct tumor involvement, cancer therapies, and radiotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related pericarditis, though rare, entails significant mortality risk.

This may be a consequence of prior cardiovascular risk factors but could also be secondary to the anticancer treatments. With the goal of offering a multidisciplinary approach to guaranteeing optimal cancer therapy and the early detection of related cardiac diseases, and in light of the recent ESC Cardio-Oncology Guideline recommendations, we developed a Cardio-Oncology unit devoted to the prevention and management of these specific complications.

- Lynch syndrome (LS) is a genetic condition that increases the risk of colorectal cancer and other cancers, but many people with it don't know they have it.
- A study was done on people under 70 with colorectal cancer to see how well they could be screened for LS, which involved checking their tissue samples for specific protein changes.
- Out of 381 people in the study, 10 were diagnosed with LS and it helped find 26 more family members at risk through follow-up testing.
Purpose: To assess the value of a common clinical language in a multidisciplinary tumour board for spinal metastasis, using both the Rades score and the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) for multidisciplinary decision-making.
Methods: Retrospective study of 60 consecutive patients treated surgically for MSCC. The indication for surgery was done in a multidisciplinary board, basically according to SINS and RADES scores.

Purpose: SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy) is widely used as a curative treatment in tumoral lesions and has become a fundamental tool for the treatment of spine metastasis. In this study, we present survival and toxicity outcomes of spine SBRT after a 2-year follow-up.
Methods/patients: Data from spine SBRT treatments performed at our institution between March 2012 and February 2020 was collected.
