Article Synopsis
  • * Three new recurring KMT2A-rearranged groups were identified, and a significant variation in 5-year event-free survival rates was observed across 13 different groups, highlighting the impact of genetic factors on patient outcomes.
  • * The research suggests incorporating five specific adverse-risk KMT2A fusions into current risk stratification models and calls for further studies to confirm the associations

Article Synopsis
  • A study by the I-BFM-SG on childhood rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML) revealed that the type of fusion partner plays a significant role in prognosis, and it also explored the effectiveness of flow cytometry-based measurable residual disease (flow-MRD) and allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT) in improving outcomes during first complete remission.
  • The research involved 1,130 children diagnosed with rearranged AML, who were categorized into high-risk and non-high-risk groups based on their fusion partners, and it focused on the relationship between flow-MRD levels and long-term survival rates.
  • Results showed that the high-risk group had significantly worse event-free survival, cumulative incidence of relapse, and overall survival

Changes in Weight and Body Composition Among Women With Breast Cancer During and After Adjuvant Treatment: A Prospective Follow-up Study.

Cancer Nurs

September 2017

Author Affiliations: Department of Oncology, Aalborg University Hospital, Denmark (Ms Pedersen and Drs Carus and Falkmer); Unit of Clincal Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Aalborg University Hospital, and Department of Clinical Medicine, Aalborg University, Denmark (Ms Bendtsen); Clinical Nursing research Unit, Aalborg University Hospital, Denmark (Dr Groenkjaer); Institute of Public Health, Section of Nursing, Aarhus University, Denmark, and University College Diakonova, Oslo, Norway (Dr Delmar); and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Salgrenska University Hospital, Goethenburg, Sweden (Dr Boseaus).

Background: Antineoplastic adjuvant treatment for breast cancer can cause changes in women's weight and body composition and influence their general health and survival.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the extent and patterns of change in weight and body composition after current standard adjuvant antineoplastic treatment for breast cancer.

Methods: Data on weight and body composition from 95 women with breast cancer Stage I to III were obtained during 18 months on a bioelectric impedance analyzer.

  • The study confirmed that vapour-impermeable panty liners can raise skin temperature and disrupt the skin environment more than vapour-permeable ones.
  • Results showed that the skin temperature of women using vapour-impermeable liners was about 1.1 degrees Celsius higher compared to those not using any liners.
  • Overall, while vapour-permeable liners maintained skin conditions similar to no liner use, vapour-impermeable liners led to slightly higher microorganism densities without posing significant microbial risks for healthy women.

Purpose: A controversy exists regarding whether it is safe to delay radiation therapy until the completion of chemotherapy following breast-conserving surgery for patients with node-positive breast cancer. Within the context of two concurrent randomized clinical trials we had the opportunity to evaluate outcomes for patients who received breast irradiation after completing different durations of chemotherapy.

Methods And Materials: From July 1986 to April 1993 the International Breast Cancer Study Group (IBCSG) Trial VI randomly assigned 1554 pre/perimenopausal node-positive breast cancer patients to receive cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (CMF) for either three consecutive courses on months 1-3, or six consecutive courses on months 1-6, both with or without reintroduction CMF.
