The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Prostate Cancer Early Detection provide recommendations for prostate cancer screening in healthy men who have elected to participate in an early detection program. The NCCN Guidelines focus on minimizing unnecessary procedures and limiting the detection of indolent disease. These NCCN Guidelines Insights summarize the NCCN Prostate Cancer Early Detection Panel's most significant discussions for the 2016 guideline update, which included issues surrounding screening in high-risk populations (ie, African Americans, BRCA1/2 mutation carriers), approaches to refine patient selection for initial and repeat biopsies, and approaches to improve biopsy specificity.

Department of Surgical Pathology and Molecular Biology, Global Reference Laboratory, Metropolis Healthcare Limited, Vidyavihar, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and spectrum of genetic mutations linked to inherited breast and ovary cancer (HBOC) in the Indian population, and to evaluate the correlation of BRCA mutation types, frequency, and incidence with age, gender, and personal and family history.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of 500 Indian HBOC patients, meeting NCCN criteria who underwent BRCA1/2 testing from 2017 to 2023 were shortlisted for this study. The anonymized data was retrieved from medical records.
Underrepresentation of Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma in Clinical Trials for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

December 2024
Alberta Health Services and University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Background: Although chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are the same biologic disease entity and warrant identical treatment approaches, patients with SLL have frequently been excluded from clinical trials in CLL.
Methods: This study assessed the representation of patients with SLL among Phase II or III clinical trials cited in the 2024 National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) treatment guidelines.
Results: Patients with SLL were explicitly eligible for only 21 (38%) of the 56 clinical trials for CLL, comprising 222 (6%) of the 3440 enrolled patients.

Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94158, United States.
Introduction: Prior studies have evaluated the level of evidence behind treatment options listed in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, but no study has categorized the life cycle of regimens listed in the NCCN guidelines. We longitudinally assessed the life cycle for each regimen for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. We track the date of first clinical data, the date of regimen addition to NCCN guidelines, the date phase 3 data (if performed) were reported, and the results of phase 3 trials.

Objective: This study aims to summarize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in preventing and managing low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) among patients with rectal cancer, with the goal of enhancing quality of care.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across databases, including BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, WHO, GIN, UK NICE, NGC, SIGN, RNAO, NCCN, JBI Library, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, OVID, PubMed, Chinese Wanfang, CNKI, SinoMed, and VIP, covering publications from inception through June 30, 2024. We targeted clinical decisions, guidelines, evidence summaries, expert consensus statements, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials related to PFMT for LARS in patients with rectal cancer.
