Objective: We aimed to evaluate the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors as a risk factor for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in a cohort of patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with denosumab.
Methods: This was a multicentre, retrospective, observational study. All patients with breast cancer treated with denosumab (January 2011-December 2022) were included.
Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) is associated with other genes beyond BRCA. The performance of prophylactic bilateral mastectomy (PBM) and risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) are primary prevention measures that can be recommended depending on the type of pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant detected or family history. Descriptive, retrospective, and observational audit.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of TAS-102 in a group of 45 mCRC patients (median age 66 years) in Huelva province, Spain, in a retrospective, multicenter observational study.
Results: We showed that the association between TAS-102 and CIN can be used as a predictor of efficacy.
Introduction: The treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has profoundly changed on account of the arrival of new therapies, like immunotherapy. Within this group of drugs, those aimed at the programmed cell death-1 or programmed cell death ligand-1(PD1/PDL-1) are very relevant, for example, Pembrolizumab. Although its adverse reactions are generally mild and well tolerated, it has been associated with certain immune-related adverse events (IrAEs) than can be serious and affect any organ.
