MOVIE: a phase I, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of metronomic vinorelbine combined with durvalumab plus tremelimumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Background: Anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) agents have only moderate antitumor activity in some advanced solid tumors (AST), including breast cancer (BC), prostate cancer (PC), cervical cancer (CC), and head and neck cancer (HNC). Combining anti-PD-L1 with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein (CTLA) and chemotherapy may significantly improve efficacy.

Patients And Methods: MOVIE is a multicohort phase I/II study examining the combination of anti-PD-L1 durvalumab (Durv; 1500 mg IV Q4W) plus anti-CTLA tremelimumab (Trem; 75 mg IV Q4W) with metronomic vinorelbine (MVino; 20-40 mg orally daily) in various AST resistant to conventional therapies.

Presentation and Prognosis of Primary Expansile and Infiltrative Mucinous Carcinomas of the Ovary.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate evolution and prognosis of mucinous ovarian carcinomas (mOC), with respect to the two invasive patterns: expansile and infiltrative invasion. This was a descriptive, retrospective, multicenter study conducted in 13 French centres from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2019. All patients operated on for epithelial ovarian neoplasia of the mucinous type (infiltrative/expansile) were included, whether the surgery was performed immediately or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Regorafenib for the Treatment of Sarcoma.

Sarcomas are a rare group of tumors with many subtypes, conventionally classified into soft-tissue sarcomas and bone sarcomas. Chemotherapeutic regimens form the mainstay of systemic therapy but are not well defined beyond the first-line setting and clinical outcomes are variable. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), with a broad inhibition profile which have been shown to target tumor angiogenesis, have an established role in the treatment of sarcomas without characteristic driver alterations.

Risk Factors for Recurrence of Borderline Ovarian Tumours after Conservative Surgery and Impact on Fertility: A Multicentre Study by the Francogyn Group.

Introduction: Borderline ovarian tumours (BOT) represent 10-20% of epithelial tumours of the ovary. Although their prognosis is excellent, the recurrence rate can be as high as 30%, and recurrence in the infiltrative form accounts for 3% to 5% of recurrences. Affecting, in one third of cases, women of childbearing age, the surgical strategy with ovarian conservation is now recommended despite a significant risk of recurrence.

The European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD), the European College for the Study of Vulval Disease (ECSVD) and the European Federation for Colposcopy (EFC) Consensus Statements on Pre-invasive Vulvar Lesions.

The European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD), the European College for the Study of Vulval Disease (ECSVD), and the European Federation for Colposcopy (EFC) developed consensus statements on pre-invasive vulvar lesions in order to improve the quality of care for patients with vulvar squamous intraepithelial neoplasia, vulvar Paget disease in situ, and melanoma in situ. For differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (dVIN), an excisional procedure must always be adopted. For vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (VHSIL), both excisional procedures and ablative ones can be used.

Systemic treatment of advanced clear cell sarcoma: results from a retrospective international series from the World Sarcoma Network.

Background: Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a translocated aggressive malignancy with a high incidence of metastases and poor prognosis. There are few studies describing the activity of systemic therapy in CCS. We report a multi-institutional retrospective study of the outcomes of patients with advanced CCS treated with systemic therapy within the World Sarcoma Network (WSN).

[Database's development for prospective national collection of clinical data on cervical cancer: A Delphi survey identifying consensual variables].

Introduction: Cervical cancer (CC) is associated with poor prognosis and therapeutic morbidity in young women. The impact of European recommendations for treatments and follow-up of these patients must be assessed. There is no real-time CCU tracking basis.

Trachelectomy: How is it actually done? A review from FRANCOGYN group Titre: Trachélectomie: comment faire en pratique ? Revue de la littérature par le groupe FRANCOGYN.

Because of the peak incidence of cervical cancer between the ages of 35 and 44 and the increasing age of first pregnancy, the issue of fertility preservation in cases of early-stage cervical cancer in women in this reproductive age category arises. Early-stage cervical cancer patients have a good prognosis and are surgically treated in cases of mildly aggressive human papillomavirus-related histological type (squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma), FIGO stage IA to IB1 (i.e.

[Outcome of women younger than 30 years of age followed for untreated high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesion].

Predictive factors for the outcome of emotional and/or behavioural disorders in 18- to 48-month-old children after parent-child psychotherapy: Protocol of a European prospective cohort study.

Objectives: Several studies have shown that in young children, behavioural and/or emotional disorders are more difficult to manage than regulatory disorders. Moreover, data are lacking on outcome predictive factors. This article presents a short synthesis of previous research about outcome predictive factors in child psychiatry.

The Management of a Comprehensive Cancer Center during the First Six Months of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the South of France: Lessons from the Paoli-Calmettes Institute's Experience.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was rapidly established that cancer patients have an increased risk of developing severe forms of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) due to a backlog of cancer diagnostics and immunosuppressive treatments. Cancer centers had to quickly adapt to continue cancer therapies despite the high infection risks and major disruptions in the French healthcare system. We described and analyzed the impact of the pandemic in our institution: management adjustments, COVID-19 infection rates in patients and staff, and impacts on clinical activities and finances during the first wave of the pandemic from March to September 2020.

Lymphovascular space invasion and estrogen receptor status in high-grade serous ovarian cancer - A multicenter study by the FRANCOGYN group.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective multicenter study by the FRANCOGYN research group between January 2001 and December 2018. All patients managed for HGSOC and for whom histological slides for the review of LVSI were available, were included.

BTLA-HVEM Couple in Health and Diseases: Insights for Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Immunotherapies (IT) have been rapidly approved for lung cancer treatment after the spectacular results in melanoma. Responses to the currently used checkpoint inhibitors are strikingly good especially in metastatic diseases.

Evaluation of pain susceptibility by taking blood pressure in patients with infections: A prospective comparative study.

Pain sensitization leading to polyalgia can be observed during infectious diseases. The blood pressure cuff-evoked pain threshold (BPCEPT) has been used in previous studies as a screening tool for fibromyalgia.We aimed to use the BPCEPT as a screening test for detecting pain sensitization in patients suffering from infectious diseases.

Where Dopaminergic and Cholinergic Systems Interact: A Gateway for Tuning Neurodegenerative Disorders.

Historically, many investigations into neurodegenerative diseases have focused on alterations in specific neuronal populations such as, for example, the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD) and loss of cholinergic transmission in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it has become increasingly clear that mammalian brain activities, from executive and motor functioning to memory and emotional responses, are strictly regulated by the integrity of multiple interdependent neuronal circuits. Among subcortical structures, the dopaminergic nigrostriatal and mesolimbic pathways as well as cholinergic innervation from basal forebrain and brainstem, play pivotal roles in orchestrating cognitive and non-cognitive symptoms in PD and AD.

Lymphovascular invasion as a criterion for adjuvant chemotherapy for FIGO stage I-IIa clear cell carcinoma, mucinous, low grade serous and low grade endometrioid ovarian cancer.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients managed for stage I-IIa clear cell carcinoma, mucinous, low-grade serous and low-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective multicentre study of the research group FRANCOGYN between January 2001 and December 2018. All patients managed for stage I-IIa clear cell carcinoma, mucinous /low grade serous and endometrioid ovarian cancer and for whom the presence of histological slides for the review of LVSI was available, were included. Patient's characteristics with LVSI (LVSI group) were compared to those without LVSI (No LVSI group).

Lymphovascular space invasion as a prognostic factor of epithelial ovarian cancer: a multicenter study by the FRANCOGYN group.

Background: The presence of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is not yet included in international recommendations neither as a prognostic factor nor as a parameter for the decision to use adjuvant chemotherapy in FIGO stage I/IIa ovarian cancer (OC).

Objective: This study set out to evaluate the impact of LVSI on Overall Survival (OS) and Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS) in patients managed for epithelial OC.

Design: Retrospective multicenter study by the research group FRANCOGYN between January 2001 and December 2018.

Starting Imatinib at 400 mg Daily in Patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Harboring KIT Exon 9 Mutations: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study.

Background: Retrospective analyses suggest that patients with advanced KIT exon 9-mutated gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) receiving imatinib 800 mg (rather than 400 mg) daily have better outcomes. In the adjuvant setting, the question of the optimal dose of imatinib remains unsettled.

Objective: We aimed to retrospectively assess the activity of imatinib 400 mg in both the adjuvant and the advanced settings.

Options for triage and implications for colposcopists within European HPV-based cervical screening programmes.

The development of human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screening should detect more pre-cancerous changes and so reduce the incidence and mortality from cervical squamous carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma. However, many more women are high risk HPV (hrHPV) screen positive compared to cytology-based screening, especially in younger age-women. A variety of tests have become available which may triage into those hrHPV test-positive women who need immediate referral to colposcopy from those who need early repeat HPV tests or recall on the basis of their disease status.

Involvement of the MetO/Msr System in Two Species That Display Contrasting Characteristics during Germination.

The levels of methionine sulfoxide (MetO) and the abundances of methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs) were reported as important for the desiccation tolerance of seeds. To determine whether the MetO/Msrs system is related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and involved in the regulation of germination in orthodox and recalcitrant seeds, Norway maple and sycamore were investigated. Changes in water content, MetO content, the abundance of MsrB1 and MsrB2 in relation to ROS content and the activity of reductases depending on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides were monitored.

Recurrence Pattern of Cervical Cancer Based on the Platinum Sensitivity Concept: A Multi-Institutional Study from the FRANCOGYN Group.

The standard of care for patients with advanced cervical cancer (ACC) includes platinum-based chemotherapy. The concept of platinum sensitivity is a major prognostic factor for patients with ovarian cancer. The aim of this study was to validate the applicability of the platinum sensitivity concept to ACC patients, and to estimate its prognostic interest in terms of overall survival (OS) and pattern of recurrence (location, timing).
