The influence of time and implants in high-dose rate image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of two different schedules of modern image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) in patients underwent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer treated (LACC) METHODS AND MATERIALS: Data from medical records of all consecutive patients with histologically proven cervical cancer (FIGO 2018 stage IB-IVA) treated by HDR-BT after CCRT at our institution between 2016 and 2021 were reviewed.

Results: Two hundred and 8 patients with LACC FIGO 2018 stages (IB 20.7%; II 26.

Durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination with metronomic oral vinorelbine for recurrent advanced cervical cancer: an open-label phase I/II study.

Background: The MOVIE phase I/II trial (NCT03518606) evaluated the safety and antitumor activity of durvalumab and tremelimumab combined with metronomic oral vinorelbine in patients with advanced tumors. We present the results of the recurrent advanced cervical cancer cohort.

Methods: Patients received tremelimumab (intravenously, 75 mg, every four weeks (Q4W); four cycles max) plus durvalumab (intravenously, 1,500 mg, Q4W; 26 cycles max) and metronomic oral vinorelbine (40 mg, every three weeks (3QW)) until disease progression.

Safety and quality of life with maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab in older patients with ovarian cancer: subgroup analysis of PAOLA‑1/ENGOT-ov25.

Background: In PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25, the addition of olaparib to bevacizumab maintenance improved overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. We describe the safety profile and quality of life (QoL) of this combination in older patients in PAOLA-1.

Methods: Safety (CTCAE v4.

Deciphering Folate Receptor alphaGene Expression and mRNA Signatures in Ovarian Cancer: Implications for Precision Therapies.

Antibody-drug conjugates targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα) are a promising treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (OC) with high FRα expression. Challenges persist in accurately assessing FRα expression levels. Our study aimed to better elucidate FRα gene expression and identify mRNA signatures in OC.

Decoding the pathological and genomic profile of epithelial ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common cancers in women, with a high mortality rate. Most of published studies have been focused on Caucasian populations, with the need to explore biological features and clinical outcomes of patients from other ethnicities. We described clinical outcome (progression-free survival and overall survival) and biomarkers associated with survival in a cohort of patients with OC from Tunisia.
