Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has become standard for resectable peritoneal surface malignancies. CRS aims to achieve complete resection of macroscopic disease through peritonectomy procedures and visceral resections. The pelvis is very frequently involved in peritoneal malignancies, making surgical techniques that ensure complete tumor removal an essential part of CRS.

Background And Purpose: Despite that incorporating antiangiogenic in combination with immune-checkpoint inhibitors as the standard first-line treatment for advanced clear cell renal cell cancer (ccRCC) yields promising outcomes, these regimens often lead to significant toxicity. However, a subgroup of patients has shown responsiveness to VEGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in monotherapy, leading to the question of whether employing combination therapies can significantly enhance overall survival in all patients over monotherapy. Thus, we aim to identify gene expression signatures that can predict TKI response within subpopulations that might benefit from single-agent therapies, to minimize unnecessary exposure to combination therapies and their associated toxicities, as well as to discover new potential therapeutic targets to improve ccRCC treatment.

  • Advances in immuno-oncology have improved treatment for renal cell carcinoma, but patients with "primary refractory" disease have poor outcomes; our study found a 19% prevalence of this group among 1,709 metastatic clear cell patients across 72 centers in 22 countries.
  • The highest primary refractory rate was 27% with nivolumab/ipilimumab, while pembrolizumab/lenvatinib had the lowest at 10%; those classified as primary refractory only had a median survival of 7.6 months compared to 55.7 months for non-primary refractory patients.
  • Significant predictors of survival for primary refractory patients included factors like prior nephrectomy and presence of bone/brain metastases, highlighting the complex

The addition of metastasis-directed radiotherapy (MDRT) to immunotherapy in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) has shown promising results. We report the real-world data from the ARON-2 study (NCT05290038) on the impact of conventional (CRT) or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) on the outcome of aUC patients receiving pembrolizumab after platinum-based-chemotherapy. Medical records of 837 patients were reviewed from 60 institutions in 20 countries.

Peritoneal sarcomatosis is a rare malignant disease with a poor prognosis, secondary to peritoneal dissemination of abdominopelvic soft tissue sarcomas. Its rarity, together with the characteristic histological heterogeneity and the historically poor response to systemic treatments, has prevented the establishment of widely accepted treatment criteria with curative intent. In this sense, radical cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with peritonectomy procedures and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), widely used in peritoneal carcinomatosis with excellent results, have not had the same evolutionary development in patients with peritoneal sarcomatosis.

  • Patients with advanced high-grade digestive neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) have a poor prognosis, but adding immune checkpoint inhibition to chemotherapy may improve their survival rates.
  • The NICE-NEC trial tested nivolumab alongside carboplatin and etoposide in chemotherapy-naive patients and measured various outcomes, including overall survival and response rates.
  • While the primary survival rate goal was not met, the treatment was linked to a median overall survival of 13.9 months and 37.6% of patients surviving more than 2 years, with manageable safety concerns.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how specific immune cell types in blood samples from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) can affect survival rates.
  • Researchers analyzed pre-treatment blood samples from 152 patients and found that lower CD8 T-cell counts and higher monocyte levels were linked to shorter survival.
  • Their results suggest that these immune cell types could act as important biomarkers for mCRPC management, supporting the need for further research in clinical trials.

Mapping the Spatial Dynamics of the CD4+ T Cell Spectrum in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Mod Pathol

September 2024

Translational Research, MD Anderson Cancer Center Foundation, Madrid, Spain; Pathology Department, MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:

As around 25% to 30% of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) patients with advanced stages do not respond to standard therapies, the tumor microenvironment of cHL is one avenue that may be explored with the aim of improving risk stratification. CD4+ T cells are thought to be one of the main cell types in the tumor microenvironment. However, few immune signatures have been studied, and many of these lack related spatial data.

  • There is ongoing debate about whether sex influences the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer treatment, specifically for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
  • A study involving 1,827 mRCC patients from multiple countries found that overall median overall survival (OS) was similar for both sexes, but males performed better in specific subgroups, particularly younger patients and those with certain cancer histologies.
  • Interestingly, female sex was identified as a negative prognostic factor in patients with sarcomatoid differentiation, suggesting that despite women having stronger immune responses, their outcomes in these cases were worse than those of men.

Lung carcinoid tumours are neuroendocrine neoplasms originating from the bronchopulmonary tract's neuroendocrine cells, accounting for only 1%-3% of all lung cancers but 30% of all neuroendocrine tumours. The incidence of lung carcinoids, both typical and atypical, has been increasing over the years due to improved diagnostic methods and increased awareness among clinicians and pathologists. The most recent WHO classification includes a subgroup of lung carcinoids with atypical morphology and higher mitotic count and/or Ki67 labelling index.

Background And Objective: Papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is the most frequent histological subtype of non-clear cell RCC (nccRCC). Owing to the heterogeneity of nccRCC, patients are often excluded from large phase 3 trials focused on clear cell RCC, so treatment options for nccRCC remain limited. Our aim was to investigate the efficacy of first-line treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or immuno-oncology (IO)-based combinations in patients with pRCC.
