Purpose: Hematological toxicities (HTs) in lung cancer (LCa) may compromise the delivery of Radio-Chemotherapy (RTCT), and consequently affect the control of the disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with HT.
Material/methods: In this prospective multicentre study, 264 patients with primary LCa treated with RTCT between 2012 and 2018 were included.

Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) has emerged as a promising candidate for various clinical applications, including vaccine development, virus pseudotyping, and gene delivery. Its broad host range, ease of propagation, and lack of pre-existing immunity in humans make it ideal for therapeutic use. VSV's potential as an oncolytic virus has garnered attention; however, resistance to VSV-mediated oncolysis has been observed in some cell lines and tumor types, limiting its effectiveness.

Background/objectives: This study describes the sequelae, side effects, and toxicities experienced by Canadian breast cancer survivors at a breast cancer survivorship clinic at a tertiary academic cancer centre and identifies potential risk factors which may be associated with increased side effect burden.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of adult patients treated at the Sunnybrook Breast Cancer Survivorship Clinic from 6 July 2022, to 30 September 2023 ( = 435).
Results: Most patients (72.

Background: Colorectal cancer primarily affects older adults and poses treatment challenges due to age-related comorbidities and frailty, which hinder surgical and chemotherapy options for many elderly patients. This study aims to analyze treatment and disease patterns in elderly colorectal cancer patients, aged over 80 years old, to inform personalized therapies that accommodate their unique clinical needs and improve their outcomes.
Patients And Methods: The medical records of all patients aged 80 years old and above, and those aged 65 to 75 years old, who were diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a cancer center in Canada over a seven year period, were retrospectively reviewed.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common diseases among men worldwide and continues to pose a serious threat to health. This review shows the history and the new developments in the management of prostate cancer, with an emphasis on a range of therapeutic approaches, such as hormone therapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and innovative targeted therapeutics. The evolution of these treatments is examined in light of clinical outcomes, patient quality of life, and emerging resistance mechanisms, such as the recently shown vitamin D-based strategies.
