Peng L, Yang H, Zhao Y, He J, Stebbing J, Chen Bet al., 2022, Neurolymphomatosis of multifocal peripheral nerve involvement: a case report, Annals of Palliative Medicine, Vol: 11, Pages: 2529-2537, ISSN: 2224-5820

The infiltration and invasion of nerve trunks, nerve roots, and cranial nerves by lymphomatousmalignant cells is defined as “neurolymphomatosis”. It is mainly caused by lymphoma cells directlyinfiltrating the peripheral nerves, with a low incidence. Neurolymphomatosis is a rare condition of neoplasticendoneurial invasion, which is primary or secondary to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemia. We describea case of primary peripheral neurolymphomatosis of multifocal involvement in a 77-year-old male patient.He presented with left lower limb pain and was diagnosed with CD20+ diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emissiontomography (PET) computed tomography (CT), and nerve biopsy contributed to the diagnosis. Genomicprofiling, programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression and tumor mutational burden (TMB) were alsoassessed. CDKN2A/CDKN2B deletions have been identified. PD-L1 expression assessed by 28-8 antibodywas 1% positivity, and TMB of the sample was 11.6 muts/Mb. The patient responded well to rituximabcombined with chemotherapy, however, he died after 3 cycles of chemotherapy due to severe lung infectionand subsequent complication of respiratory failure. Here we report the clinical, radiological, pathological andmolecular findings of the patient affected by multifocal neurolymphomatosis without systemic involvementof other organs.

AimThe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to explore the impact of surgical delays on cancer resectability. This study aimed to compare resectability for colorectal cancer patients undergoing delayed versus non-delayed surgery.MethodsThis was an international prospective cohort study of consecutive colorectal cancer patients with a decision for curative surgery (January–April 2020). Surgical delay was defined as an operation taking place more than 4 weeks after treatment decision, in a patient who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy. A subgroup analysis explored the effects of delay in elective patients only. The impact of longer delays was explored in a sensitivity analysis. The primary outcome was complete resection, defined as curative resection with an R0 margin.ResultsOverall, 5453 patients from 304 hospitals in 47 countries were included, of whom 6.6% (358/5453) did not receive their planned operation. Of the 4304 operated patients without neoadjuvant therapy, 40.5% (1744/4304) were delayed beyond 4 weeks. Delayed patients were more likely to be older, men, more comorbid, have higher body mass index and have rectal cancer and early stage disease. Delayed patients had higher unadjusted rates of complete resection (93.7% vs. 91.9%, P = 0.032) and lower rates of emergency surgery (4.5% vs. 22.5%, P < 0.001). After adjustment, delay was not associated with a lower rate of complete resection (OR 1.18, 95% CI 0.90–1.55, P = 0.224), which was consistent in elective patients only (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.69–1.27, P = 0.672). Longer delays were not associated with poorer outcomes.ConclusionOne in 15 colorectal cancer patients did not receive their planned operation during the first wave of COVID-19. Surgical delay did not appear to compromise resectability, raising the hypothesis that any reduction in long-term survival attributable to delays is likely to be due to micro-metastatic disease.

BACKGROUND: There is incomplete information regarding evolution of antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 after a two-dose strategy vaccination with BNT162b2, in older adults in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) with frailty, disability or cognitive impairment. We aimed to determine IgG antibody titer loss in old adults in LTCFs. METHODS: Multicenter longitudinal cohort study including 127 residents (90 females, 37 males) with a mean age of 82.7 years (range 65-99) with different frailty and disability profiles in two LTCFs in Albacete, Spain. Residents received 2 doses of BNT162b2 as per label, and antibody levels were determined 1 and 6 months after the second dose. Age, sex, previous history of COVID-19, comorbidity (Charlson index), performance in activities of daily living (Barthel index), frailty (FRAIL instrument), and cognitive status were assessed. RESULTS: The mean antibody titers 1 and 6 months after the second vaccine dose were 32,145 AU/mL (SD 41,206) and 6,182 AU/mL (SD 13,316) respectively. Across all participants, the median antibody titer loss measured 77.6% (IQR 23.8%). Notably, the decline of titers in individuals with pre-vaccination COVID-19 infection was significantly lower than in those without history of SARS-CoV-2 infection (72.2% vs 85.3%; p<.001). The median titer decrease per follow-up day was 0.47% (IQR 0.14%) and only pre-vaccination COVID-19 was associated with lower rate of antibody decline at 6 months (HR 0.17; 95% CI 0.07-0.41; p<.001). Frailty, disability, older age, cognitive impairment, or comorbidity were not associated with the extent of antibody loss. CONCLUSIONS: Older adults in LTCFs experience a rapid loss of antibodies between over the first six months after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine. Only pre-vaccination COVID-19 is associated with a slower rate of antibodies decrease. Our data support immunization with a third dose in this vulnerable, high-risk population.

PURPOSE: We investigated the utility of the Oncomine Breast cfDNA Assay for detecting circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in women from a breast screening population, including healthy women with no abnormality detected by mammogram, and women on follow-up through to advanced breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blood samples were taken from 373 women (127 healthy controls recruited through breast screening, 28 ductal carcinoma in situ, 60 primary breast cancers, 47 primary breast cancer on follow-up, and 111 metastatic breast cancers [MBC]) to recover plasma and germline DNA for analysis with the Oncomine Breast cfDNA Assay on the Ion S5 platform. RESULTS: One hundred sixteen of 373 plasma samples had one or more somatic variants detected across eight of the 10 genes and were called ctDNA-positive; MBC had the highest proportion of ctDNA-positive samples (61; 55%) and healthy controls the lowest (20; 15.7%). ESR1, TP53, and PIK3CA mutations account for 93% of all variants detected and predict poor overall survival in MBC (hazard ratio = 3.461; 95% CI, 1.866 to 6.42; P = .001). Patients with MBC had higher plasma cell-free DNA levels, higher variant allele frequencies, and more polyclonal variants, notably in ESR1 than in all other groups. Only 15 individuals had evidence of potential clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential mutations. CONCLUSION: We were able detect ctDNA across the breast cancer spectrum, notably in MBC where variants in ESR1, TP53, and PIK3CA predicted poor overall survival. The assay could be used to monitor emergence of resistance mutations such as in ESR1 that herald resistance to aromatase inhibitors to tailor adjuvant therapies. However, we suggest caution is needed when interpreting results from a single plasma sample as variants were also detected in a small proportion of HCs.

Background: Targeted therapies have led to significant improvement in the management and prognosis of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We performed a network meta-analysis of frontline treatment options of ALK-positive NSCLC to provide clinical guidance. Methods: PubMed, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and international conference databases were searched to identify relevant trials from inception to June 30, 2021. Phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing treatments for patients with ALK-positive advanced NSCLC in the first-line setting were included in a Bayesian network meta-analysis. Eligible studies reported at least one of the following clinical outcomes: progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), risk of the central nervous system (CNS) progression, adverse events (AEs) of grade (G) 3 or higher (G3 AEs), or serious AEs (SAEs). Hazard ratios (HRs) and CI for primary outcome of PFS and secondary outcome of OS and risk of CNS progression were obtained. A multivariate, consistency model, fixed-effects analysis was used in the network meta-analysis. Data on G3 AEs and SAEs were abstracted and meta-analyzed. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. Results: Nine RCTs comprising 2,484 patients were included with seven treatments: alectinib, brigatinib, ceritinib, crizotinib, ensartinib, lorlatinib, and chemotherapy. Compared with chemotherapy, ALK-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) significantly prolong PFS and reduced risk of CNS progression except for ceritinib. Lorlatinib appears superior at reducing risk of CNS progression. None of the ALK-TKIs have a significantly prolonged OS as compared with chemotherapy. Lorlatinib increases the risk of G3 AEs as compared with alectinib (odds ratio 4.26 [95% CrI 1.22 to 15.53]), while alectinib caused the fewest G3 AEs. Conclusions: Lorlatinib is associated with the highest PFS benefit and lowest risk of CNS progression benefits

BackgroundSurgery is the main modality of cure for solid cancers and was prioritised to continue during COVID-19 outbreaks. This study aimed to identify immediate areas for system strengthening by comparing the delivery of elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in periods of lockdown versus light restriction.MethodsThis international, prospective, cohort study enrolled 20 006 adult (≥18 years) patients from 466 hospitals in 61 countries with 15 cancer types, who had a decision for curative surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic and were followed up until the point of surgery or cessation of follow-up (Aug 31, 2020). Average national Oxford COVID-19 Stringency Index scores were calculated to define the government response to COVID-19 for each patient for the period they awaited surgery, and classified into light restrictions (index <20), moderate lockdowns (20–60), and full lockdowns (>60). The primary outcome was the non-operation rate (defined as the proportion of patients who did not undergo planned surgery). Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to explore the associations between lockdowns and non-operation. Intervals from diagnosis to surgery were compared across COVID-19 government response index groups. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04384926.FindingsOf eligible patients awaiting surgery, 2003 (10·0%) of 20 006 did not receive surgery after a median follow-up of 23 weeks (IQR 16–30), all of whom had a COVID-19-related reason given for non-operation. Light restrictions were associated with a 0·6% non-operation rate (26 of 4521), moderate lockdowns with a 5·5% rate (201 of 3646; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0·81, 95% CI 0·77–0·84; p<0·0001), and full lockdowns with a 15·0% rate (1775 of 11 827; HR 0·51, 0·50–0·53; p<0·0001).

Peng L, Wang Z, Stebbing J, Yu Zet al., 2021, Novel immunotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of lung cancer., Current Opinion in Oncology, ISSN: 1040-8746

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cancer cells evade immune surveillance partly due to the immunosuppressive features of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Currently approved immuno-oncology drugs for the treatment of lung cancer are aimed to inhibit immune checkpoints, such as programmed death protein-1 (PD-1), PD ligand-1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4. Despite these, researchers are currently racing to create the optimal cancer immunotherapy treatments. RECENT FINDINGS: Novel immunotherapeutic drugs mainly act on activated immune cells and exert their therapeutic effects by enhancing antitumor responses. In this article, we review new therapies for the treatment of lung cancer that enhance T cell priming, remove coinhibitory signals, supply costimulatory signals and condition the TME. SUMMARY: As more immunotherapeutic targets are in studies, designing multimodal strategies to provide greater efficacy with lower toxicity will be necessary.

BackgroundMRx0518 is an oral live biotherapeutic with potent immunostimulatory activity and anti-tumorigenic efficacy in murine models of lung (LLC1), kidney (Renca) and breast (EMT6) cancer. Previous reports have demonstrated a favourable safety profile in neoadjuvant and metastatic clinical settings, with emerging evidence of immune modulation. We performed a comprehensive analysis of the gene and metagene signature in cancer patients treated with MRx0518 monotherapy.MethodsTreatment-naïve patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of cancer scheduled for surgical resection were recruited from April 2019 to February 2020. Patients received 1 capsule of MRx0518 (1x1010 to 1x1011CFU) twice daily from inclusion until the day preceding surgery. Safety and tolerability (CTCAE v4.03) were the primary endpoints of this study. Comprehensive biomarker analysis was also performed in paired pre-treatment (diagnostic biopsy) and post-treatment (surgical specimen) samples using the NanoString IO 360 panel to explore gene and metagene signatures.Results31 samples were collected across tumour groups including breast (n=13) prostate (n=8), uterine (n=6), melanoma (n=2) and bladder (n=2). Differential expression analysis showed significant (p<0.05) increases in genes and metagenes associated with anti-tumour activity, including antigen presentation (AXL & CXCL12), innate immune processes (CHUK, RELA, PPARG & HRAS), interferon response (IFNGR1 & IFNGR2), Th1 cells and CD8+ cells following MRx0518 therapy, echoing preclinical findings. Novel changes, not previously detected in murine models, involving endothelial, mast cells, inflammatory myeloid and inflammatory chemokines were also observed, suggesting MRx0518 may have additional in vivo anti-tumorigenic effects. These changes were more pronounced in the breast cancer cohort.ConclusionsThis analysis, mirrors previous immunostimulatory activity and anti-tumorigenic efficacy observations seen in pre-clini

AimDetection of early onset colorectal cancer is challenging, and remains a rare diagnosis amongst younger people with gastrointestinal symptoms. We investigated whether faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) could identify younger patients at higher risk of colorectal cancer or serious bowel disease including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or advanced adenomas.MethodsA subgroup analysis was performed of symptomatic patients under 50 years of age (<50) from the NICE FIT study, a multicentre, prospective diagnostic accuracy study of FIT conducted between October 2017 and December 2019. The diagnostic accuracy of FIT for colorectal cancer and serious bowel disease was investigated in younger patients at different faecal haemoglobin (f-Hb) cut-offs of 2, 10 and 150 µg blood/g faeces (µg/g).ResultsEarly onset colorectal cancer was diagnosed in 1.5% (16/1103) of younger symptomatic patients. The sensitivity of FIT for younger patients aged <50 was 87.5% (95% CI 61.7%–98.4%), 81.3% (54.4%–96.0%) and 68.8% (41.3%–89.0%) at f-Hb cut-offs of 2, 10 and 150 µg/g, respectively. The positive predictive value for colorectal cancer increased from 4.2% (2.3%–6.9%) to 11.5% (5.9%–19.6%) at cut-offs of 2 and 150 µg/g, while the positive predictive value for serious bowel disease increased from 31.3% (26.3%–36.5%) to 65.6% (55.2%–75.0%) at the same cut-offs. The negative predictive value of FIT for colorectal cancer remained above 99.5% at all cut-offs.ConclusionDetectable f-Hb on FIT in symptomatic younger patients may indicate referral for investigation of colorectal cancer and serious bowel disease.
