We reviewed our clinical experience of olaparib treatment for patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer. Of the 10 cases, the primary sites of cancer were the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and peritoneum in 7, 1 and 2 cases, respectively. The median period of treatment administration was 10 months. The observed Grade 3 or 4 adverse events as per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 were: anemia, leukopenia and neut r openia in 4, 4 and 3 cases, respectively. Eight cases needed treatment to be interrupted, and 5 cases required a reduction in dose. Three patients were treated for more than 12 months, while the others had to discontinue due to disease progression. However, none of the patients had to discontinue treatment due to adverse events. Therefore, it appears that olaparib can be safely used despite some patients requiring a withdrawal or reduction in treatment.

Importance: Retrieval strategies for children, adolescents, and young adults with relapsed classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) aim to maintain efficacy while minimizing long-term toxic effects. Children, adolescents, and young adults with low-risk, relapsed cHL may benefit from replacing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant with less intensive involved-site radiotherapy (ISRT).

Objective: To evaluate a risk-stratified, response-adapted, transplant-free approach for treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with low-risk relapsed cHL with nivolumab plus brentuximab vedotin (BV) followed by BV plus bendamustine for patients with suboptimal response and ISRT (30.

Purpose: A novel theranostic radiopharmaceutical targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), [Ga]Ga/[Lu]Lu-NYM032, was developed and its diagnostic and therapeutic potential in the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) was preliminarily evaluated.

Methods: The diagnostic efficacy of the PET tracer [Ga]Ga-NYM032 was first evaluated in PSMA-positive xenograft-bearing models (LNCaP models), followed by evaluation in 10 PCa patients using [Ga]Ga-PSMA617 a comparator. Finally, the therapeutic potential of [Lu]Lu-NYM032 was evaluated in LNCaP models.

Introduction: Endoscopic ablation is the mainstay treatment for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE), of which radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are the most widely available options.

Objectives: We aimed to analyze the safety and outcomes of endoscopic ablation for BE within Polish centers.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from three high-volume endoscopy units between 2002-2024.
