Article Synopsis
  • BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations play a significant role in hereditary breast cancer and are increasingly important for determining eligibility for PARP inhibitor therapies.
  • Updated guidelines for BRCA testing are necessary due to the overlap of genetic testing with both preventive measures and treatment strategies for breast cancer patients.
  • An expert international group, including various healthcare professionals, developed recommendations to improve genetic counseling, update testing indications for therapy, and streamline the testing process for managing breast cancer effectively.

Background: The efficacy and safety of cabazitaxel, as compared with an androgen-signaling-targeted inhibitor (abiraterone or enzalutamide), in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were previously treated with docetaxel and had progression within 12 months while receiving the alternative inhibitor (abiraterone or enzalutamide) are unclear.

Methods: We randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, patients who had previously received docetaxel and an androgen-signaling-targeted inhibitor (abiraterone or enzalutamide) to receive cabazitaxel (at a dose of 25 mg per square meter of body-surface area intravenously every 3 weeks, plus prednisone daily and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) or the other androgen-signaling-targeted inhibitor (either 1000 mg of abiraterone plus prednisone daily or 160 mg of enzalutamide daily). The primary end point was imaging-based progression-free survival.

Context: Patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) have rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and castrate testosterone levels, with no radiological findings of metastatic disease on computed tomography and bone scan. Given recent drug approvals for nmCRPC, with many other therapeutics and imaging modalities being developed, management of nmCRPC is a rapidly evolving field that merits detailed investigation.

Objective: To review current nmCRPC management practices and identify opportunities for improving care of nmCRPC patients.

Background: Invasive thyroid cancer is rare, and the extent of surgery controversial. The purpose of this study was to present and evaluate therapeutic prognostic factors.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center study of differentiated thyroid carcinoma invading the larynx, trachea, and/or esophagus treated surgically with macroscopic complete resection.
