Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved the therapeutic arsenal in outpatient oncology care; however, data on necessity of hospitalizations associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are scarce. Here, we characterized hospitalizations of patients undergoing ICI, from the prospective cohort study of the immune cooperative oncology group (ICOG) Hannover.

Methods: Between 12/2019 and 06/2022, 237 patients were included.

Objectives: To evaluate the association of pre- and post-diagnosis fluid intake with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence and progression risk.

Patients And Methods: Data were used from the multicentre prospective cohort study UroLife. Participants reported pre-diagnosis fluid intake at 6 weeks (food frequency questionnaire [FFQ]) (n = 1322) and post-diagnosis fluid intake at 3 and 15 months (FFQ and 4-day 24-h fluid diaries) (n = 1275) after diagnosis.

Multi-gene panel testing allows efficient detection of pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes including moderate-risk genes such as ATM and PALB2. A growing number of studies examine the risk of breast cancer (BC) conferred by pathogenic variants of these genes. A meta-analysis combining the reported risk estimates can provide an overall estimate of age-specific risk of developing BC, that is, penetrance for a gene.

Introduction: Sarcomas are rare cancers originating from mesenchymal tissues, manifesting in diverse anatomical locations, but notably in connective tissue, muscles and the skeleton. Thoracic sarcomas present a unique diagnostic and surgical challenge attributable to their rarity and pathoanatomy. Standard practice currently comprises wide surgical excision, often accompanied by adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
