Background: Tebipenem is a broad-spectrum orally administered carbapenem antibiotic that could be an alternative to IV carbapenems. The current study evaluated activity of tebipenem against bacterial isolates recovered from patients with cancer.
Methods: A total of 611 bacterial pathogens recently isolated from patients with cancer were tested for susceptibility to tebipenem and comparators. CLSI-approved broth microdilution methods were used. MIC, MIC, MIC range and percentage susceptibility calculations were made using FDA breakpoints when available.
Results: Tebipenem had a low MIC for most Gram-positive and Enterobacterales isolates. Tebipenem MIC ranged from 0.06 to 0.25 mg/L for all tested Enterobacterales.
Conclusions: Oral tebipenem has promising activity against clinically significant bacterial pathogens isolated from patients with cancer. Further clinical evaluation of tebipenem for the treatment of bacterial infections in patients with cancer is warranted.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.
Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.

A common digestive system cancer with a dismal prognosis and a high death rate globally is breast cancer (BRCA). BRCA recurrence, metastasis, and medication resistance are all significantly impacted by cancer stem cells (CSCs). However, the relationship between CSCs and the tumor microenvironment in BRCA individuals remains unknown, and this information is critically needed.

Purpose: Age stratification influences the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of breast cancer. We aimed to understand the effect of age on gene variants in young Chinese women with breast cancer compared with those from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
Methods: Enrolled patients ≤ 40 years old (N = 370) underwent germline or somatic genetic testing using a 32-gene hereditary cancer panel at Fujian Union Hospital.

Purpose: There is an increasing incidence of young breast cancer (YBC) patients with uncertainty surrounding the factors and patterns that are contributing.
Methods: We obtained characteristics and survival data from 206,156 YBC patients (≤ 40 years of age) diagnosed between 2005 and 2019 from the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Patients were subdivided into two comparison groups based on year of diagnosis (2005-2009, Old vs.
Aggressive Subtypes of Laryngeal Chondrosarcoma and their Clinical Behavior: A Systematic Review.

Coordinator of the International Head and Neck Scientific Group, Padua, Italy.
Introduction: Laryngeal chondrosarcoma (CS) is a rare indolent malignant tumor. High-grade (G3), dedifferentiated (DD), and myxoid (MY) CSs are considered more aggressive subtypes due to their metastatic potential and relatively poor outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate treatment modalities and survival outcomes in patients affected by these rarer CS subtypes.
