Compared to the general population, cancer patients are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism with significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Appropriate prophylaxis as well as early diagnosis and treatment are therefore mandatory. However, anticoagulation of cancer patients is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and recurrence. To meet these challenges, national and international guidelines for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer have been published. We provide a summary of these specific recommendations.

Background: For radiotherapy of head and neck cancer (HNC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role due to its high soft tissue contrast. Moreover, it offers the potential to acquire functional information through diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with the potential to personalize treatment. The aim of this study was to acquire repetitive DWI during the course of online adaptive radiotherapy on an 1.

Objective: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-4/6 inhibitors have significantly improved outcomes in several cancers but can also induce various organ system toxicities, including musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the musculoskeletal adverse events (MSAEs) associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors based on real-world data.

Methods: Reports of MSAEs linked to CDK4/6 inhibitors from the first quarter (Q1) of 2015 and 2023 Q4 were extracted from the FAERS.
