Background: The use of local consolidative therapy (LCT) in patients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is rapidly evolving, with a preponderance of data supporting the benefits of such therapeutic approaches incorporating pulmonary resection for appropriately selected candidates. However, practices vary widely institutionally and regionally, and evidence-based guidelines are lacking.
Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons assembled a panel of thoracic surgical oncologists to evaluate and synthesize the available evidence regarding the role of pulmonary resection as LCT.

The expansion of single-cell analytical techniques has empowered the exploration of diverse biological questions at the individual cells. Droplet-based single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) methods have been particularly widely used due to their high-throughput capabilities and small reaction volumes. While commercial systems have contributed to the widespread adoption of droplet-based scRNA-seq, their relatively high cost limits the ability to profile large numbers of cells and samples.

Purpose: To understand the state of IR practice and education worldwide and identify factors impacting access to IR services.
Methods And Materials: A Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) approved anonymous survey was created to gather demographics, regional IR practice and education characteristics, and challenges impacting local IR development. The survey was distributed to members of global IR societies and shared on social media from 6/2022 to 9/2023.
Purpose: Cancer-related financial toxicity occurs frequently and is a key driver of inequities in access to care and disparities in treatment outcomes. Current practices to screen for financial toxicity are inconsistent because of the lack of a validated and clinically integrated screening tool. This analysis aimed to create and assess an abbreviated version of the validated Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) tool, a measure of financial toxicity used for research purposes, which could easily be added into often-lengthy clinical screening workflows.

The direct and indirect financial burden of cancer care, from medication costs to lost wages, results in financial toxicity for patients. Despite the growing recognition of financial toxicity as a problem for patients, there are few solutions available at the point of care. Structured cost conversations between oncologists and patients to help identify financial toxicity and intervene early when it is recognized have been posited as a patient facing intervention.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAdverse financial burden and its effect on patients resulting from the costs associated with cancer care, both direct and indirect, is known as financial toxicity. This review explores the interplay between financial toxicity and key social and legal needs in cancer care. Drawing from the WHO's framework and the ASCO's policy statement on social determinants of health, we propose a conceptual model that discusses five key needs-housing insecurity, food insecurity, transportation and access barriers, employment disruptions, and psychosocial needs-which interact with, and are affected by financial toxicity, and adversely influence patients' well-being and adherence to treatment.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive sarcomas and the primary cause of mortality in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These malignancies develop within preexisting benign lesions called plexiform neurofibromas (PNs). PNs are solely driven by biallelic loss eliciting RAS pathway activation, and they respond favorably to MEK inhibitor therapy.

The cell of origin (COO) classification is an expression-based tumor algorithm identifying molecular subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with distinct prognostic characteristics. Traditional immunohistochemical methods for classifying COO subtypes have poor concordance and limited prognostic value in frontline DLBCL. In contrast, RNA-based metrics like the NanoString Lymphoma Subtyping Test (LST) define more robust subtypes with validated prognostic associations.

The T-cell-derived cytokine IL-21 is crucial for germinal center (GC) responses, but its precise role in B cell function has remained elusive. Using IL-21 receptor (Il21r) conditional knockout mice and ex vivo culture systems, we demonstrate that IL-21 has dual effects on B cells. While IL-21 induced apoptosis in a STAT3-dependent manner in naive B cells, it promoted the robust proliferation of pre-activated B cells, particularly IgG1 B cells.

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are members of healthcare teams that are integrated in, and often share language, beliefs, and lived experiences with their communities. They use their formal and informal social networks to promote healthy behavior, to connect community members to resources, and to build more resilient community networks. We propose a framework to conceptualize CHW interventions aiming to operationalize and optimize CHW social relations and networks.

Perturbations in intermediary metabolism contribute to the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and can produce therapeutically actionable dependencies. Here, we probed whether alpha-ketoglutarate (aKG) metabolism represents a specific vulnerability in AML. Using functional genomics, metabolomics, and mouse models, we identified the aKG dehydrogenase complex, which catalyzes the conversion of aKG to succinyl CoA, as a molecular dependency across multiple models of adverse-risk AML.

In most of the cases Interventional Radiology techniques and therapies are proposed for the management of symptomatic soft tissue benign tumors responsible for pain and/or compression symptoms aiming to offer a curative intent by means of tumor necrosis with subsequent symptoms' management and improvement of life quality. The ablative therapies include chemical, thermal and non-thermal approaches while, trans-arterial (chemo)embolization also has a distinct role. Adjunct ancillary techniques should be performed whenever necessary to increase efficacy and safety and avoid or reduce complications.
