: Current guidelines recommend Cisplatin/Gemcitabine/Durvalumab as first-line treatment for inoperable or recurrent cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Molecular tumor boards (MTB) have the expertise to support organ-specific tumor boards with evidence-based treatment recommendations for subsequent lines of treatment, based on genomic tumor data and scientific evidence. This study evaluates the adoption of an MTB at a comprehensive cancer center in Germany and whether actionable genetic alterations are associated with specific imaging phenotypes.

Background And Objective: The role of genetic variants in response to systemic therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is still elusive. We assessed variations in genes involved in DNA damage repair (DDR) before and after cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and correlation of alteration patterns with DNA damage and response to therapy.
Methods: Matched tissue from 46 patients with MIBC was investigated via Ion Torrent-based next-generation sequencing using a self-designed panel of 30 DDR genes.

Background And Objective: Survivors of testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) may experience long-term cognitive changes. The aim of our prospective study was to longitudinally assess cognitive function among TGCT survivors to identify potential lasting cognitive changes over a period of 5 yr.
Methods: TGCT survivors (n = 151) completed Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog) questionnaires annually, with median time to first follow-up visit (FUV) of 8 (range 4-24) yr since completion of treatment.

New thiadiazolopyrimidine-ornamented pyrazolones (4a-8b) have been synthesized by a cyclocondensation reaction of 3a, b with different active methylene compounds. The structure of our products was confirmed via different physical and spectroscopic data. We assessed all newly thiadiazolopyrimidine-ornamented pyrazolones' potential to inhibit angiogenesis, metastasis, and cancer growth by utilizing in-silico investigations focused on the VEGFR-2 signaling pathway and elucidate their pharmacokinetic features using ADMET.

Purpose: Oral mucositis (OM) is a debilitating side effect of cisplatin and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with head and neck cancer. The phase 3 ROMAN trial showed avasopasem manganese (AVA) significantly decreased individual endpoints of incidence and duration of severe oral mucositis (SOM, World Health Organization [WHO] grade 3-4), with nominal decrease in severity (WHO grade 4) and significant increase in the delay in onset of SOM. We sought to determine the Net Treatment Benefit (NTB) of AVA versus placebo (PBO) using the generalized pairwise comparisons (GPC) method.
