Purpose: Testicular cancer survivors (TCS) exposed to chemotherapy have an increased expression of CDKN2A/p16 and a lymphocyte phenotype associated with immunosenescence. We seek to define whether the immunosenescent phenotype is associated with chemotherapy.
Methods: Case-control study of TCS, disease-free ≥3 months and stratified by primary treatment modality into orchiectomy only, chemotherapy, or bone marrow transplant (BMT).
Article Synopsis
- * Most content originated from high-income countries, particularly the UK, and major contributors included support communities and medical professionals, mainly in urology.
- * The study found a low volume of PC posts compared to other cancers and indicated that physicians shared more treatment-related information on Twitter, while support communities were more active on Facebook and Instagram.
Introduction: The survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has improved dramatically due to novel systemic treatments. However, mRCC mortality continues to rise in Latin America.
Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study of patients diagnosed with mRCC between 2010-2018 in Mexico City was conducted.
A Hispanic man, aged 42 years, was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic urothelial bladder cancer (MUBC) with nonregional lymphadenopathies and lung, bone, and skin involvement.

Next, he received immunotherapy maintenance with avelumab for 4 months until disease progression.

Methods: This multicenter, parallel, unblinded, randomized trial included Latin American women aged ≥18 years with a recent breast cancer diagnosis yet to start systemic therapy.
