Introduction: While intensive protocols in onco-haematology have improved survival rates for patients with haematological malignancies, they have also resulted in an increased incidence of infection associated with therapy-induced immunosuppression (including chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia; FN). The occurrence of FN, associated with high morbidity and mortality, necessitates broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, occasioning delayed chemotherapy and resulting in a loss of opportunity for the patient. Considering that without an identified pathogen, a 10% mortality rate can ensue, documentation is essential to the optimisation of antibiotic therapy.

Purpose: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPSs) demonstrate therapy-induced hemosiderin deposition, granulation tissue formation, fibrosis, and calcification. We aimed to determine the treatment-assessment value of morphologic tumoral hemorrhage patterns and first- and high-order radiomic features extracted from contrast-enhanced susceptibility-weighted imaging (CE-SWI).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective institutional review board-authorized study included 33 patients with extremity UPS with magnetic resonance imaging and resection performed from February 2021 to May 2023.

Oncolytic vaccinia viruses (VVs) are potent stimulators of the immune system and induce immune-mediated tumor clearance and long-term surveillance against tumor recurrence. As such they are ideal treatment modalities for solid tumors including lung cancer. Here, we investigated the use of VVL-m12, a next-generation, genetically modified, interleukin-12 (IL-12)-armed VV, as a new therapeutic strategy to treat murine models of lung cancer and as a mechanism of increasing lung cancer sensitivity to antibody against programmed cell death protein 1 (α-PD1) therapy.

Background: Cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity (CTRCD), in the form of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), is being increasingly recognized. However, the potential benefits of sacubitril/valsartan (S/V) in managing HFrEF secondary to CTRCD remain unclear.

Objective: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of S/V in preventing cardiotoxicity.

Cell cycle checkpoints are stringent quality control mechanisms that regulate cell cycle progression and division. Cancer cells often develop a dependency on the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint to facilitate DNA repair and resolve intrinsic or therapy-induced DNA damage. This dependency leads to therapy resistance, continuous cell division, and disease progression.
