Authors: Kizilocak H, Young G Abstract Hemophilia A and B are inherited bleeding disorders characterized by deficiency or dysfunction of coagulation protein factors VIII and IX, respectively. Recurrent joint and muscle bleeds are the major clinical manifestations. Replacement therapy with clotting factors, either at the time of bleeding or as part of a prophylactic regimen, is adapted to individual patient needs. The major complication of therapy is the development of neutralizing antibodies....

Conclusions: Whole-gland salvage BT is an effective treatment with an acceptable toxicity profile. The pathology findings from RARP imply that there is a room for improvement in diagnoses made by MRI in the pre-salvage setting. PMID: 31435426 [PubMed] (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)
Conclusions: Assuming a static geometry, statistically significant degradation of plan quality can result from restricting the dwell time homogeneity in min/max-based optimization of cervix HDR brachytherapy plans using SagiPlan. Therefore, setting DTHEW to zero is indicated for the type of patient plans considered in this study. PMID: 31435433 [PubMed] (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)

Authors: Miguel D, de Frutos JM, López-Lara F, Alonso P, Diezhandino P, Saornil MA, García C Abstract Effective cancer brachytherapy requires a treatment plan that delivers high-dose to tumor, while minimizing the dose to critical normal tissues. Therefore, an accurate knowledge of the sources and magnitude of the techniques is essential for producing robust and well optimized-plans. The purpose of this technical note is to establish general procedures and strategies for optimization and...

We describe Dr. Hurria's early efforts toward meeting these calls though the implementation of the GA in oncology research. We then summarize some of the seminal studies constituting the evidence base supporting GA's implementation. Finally, we lay out the evolution of cancer-focused guidelines recommending the GA, concluding with future needs to advance the next steps toward more widespread implementation in routine cancer care. Throughout, we describe Dr. Hurria's vision and its execution in driving...

ConclusionsElevated patient costs for BCS with lymphedema are for more than lymphedema itself, suggesting that financial coverage for lymphedema treatment alone may not eliminate cost disparities.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsThe economic challenges examined in this paper have long been a concern of BCS and advocates, with only recent attention by policy makers, researchers, and providers. BCS identified potential policy and programmatic solutions, including expanding insurance coverage and financial...
AbstractUreteral metastases from other primary cancers are very rare. Treatment of these metastases is difficult and outcomes are poor. A thorough literature review was done with the aim of finding characteristics that may influence survival rates of patients with ureteral metastases. Systematic literature searches of PubMed and Web of Science were performed in Jan 2019. A total of 79 papers that included 265 patients with cancer metastases to their ureters were finally considered for evidence synthesis....

Authors: Vasudeva Bhat Alison L. Allan Afshin Raouf The epithelial cells in an adult woman’s breast tissue are continuously replaced throughout their reproductive life during pregnancy and estrus cycles. Such extensive epithelial cell turnover is governed by the primitive mammary stem cells (MaSCs) that proliferate and differentiate into bipotential and lineage-restricted progenitors that ultimately generate the mature breast epithelial cells. These cellular processes are orchestrated...
Authors: Tyler S. Keeley Shengyu Yang Eric Lau Fucosylation is a post-translational modification of glycans, proteins, and lipids that is responsible for many biological processes. Fucose conjugation via α(1,2), α(1,3), α(1,4), α(1,6), and O’- linkages to glycans, and variations in fucosylation linkages, has important implications for cancer biology. This review focuses on the roles that fucosylation plays in cancer, specifically through modulation of cell surface proteins and signaling...

Conclusions: Plasmatic LDH and its variation during first-line treatment predict PFS and OS in MBC, providing independent prognostic information. It would be worthwhile to prospectively evaluate the association between LDH variation and therapeutic benefit in MBC, and explore how it may affect treatment strategies. (Source: Cancers)
