Objectives: With the introduction of novel immune therapeutics for the treatment of disseminated malignancies, we sought to evaluate whether deliberate sequencing of immunotherapy before/after conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy would have an impact on clinical outcomes in patients with previously treated metastatic melanoma. We sought to evaluate whether or not ipilimumab immunotherapy administered before or after cytotoxic chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel+bevacizumab, AB) would impact clinical outcomes. ...

Gynecologic clear cell carcinoma is a rare histology, accounting for ~5% of all ovarian and endometrial cancers in the United States. Compared to other types of gynecologic cancer, they are generally less responsive to standard therapy and have an overall worse prognosis. In addition, mounting evidence suggests that the landscape of genetic and molecular abnormalities observed in these tumors is distinct from other cancers that arise from the same sites of origin. On a molecular level, these tumors...

Objectives: The role of local disease control in the oligometastatic setting is evolving. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a noninvasive treatment option for oligometastases; however, using ablative radiation doses for adrenal metastases raises concern given the proximity to radiosensitive organs. Novel treatment techniques may allow for selective dose escalation to improve local control (LC) while minimizing dose to nearby critical structures. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively...

Objective: Radiation therapy (RT) is the primary treatment of intracranial metastasis (ICM) from lung cancer (LC). Radiation necrosis (RN) has been reported post-RT with an incidence of 5% to 24%. We reviewed the spectrum of imaging changes in patients treated with RT for ICM from LC in an effort to identify potential risk factors for RN. Methods: We reviewed 63 patients with LC and ICM who received RT (radiosurgery [stereotactic radiosurgery] with/without whole brain radiation therapy) at...

Background: Women with breast cancer have worse health outcomes with co-occurring type 2 diabetes, possibly due to suboptimal breast cancer treatment. Methods: We created a cohort of women ages 66 to 85 y with stage I to III breast cancer from 1993 to 2012 from an integrated health care delivery system (n=1612) and fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries (n=98,915), linked to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data (total n=100,527). We evaluated associations between type 2...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in oligometastatic prostate cancer recurrence and to assess whether there is any relationship between biologically effective dose (BED) and local control (LC). Materials and Methods: Eligible studies were identified on Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, and the proceedings of annual meetings through May 2019 were also identified. A meta-regression analysis was performed...

Purpose: Cancer patients are at a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) than the general population. In the general population, blacks are at a higher risk of VTE compared with whites. The influence of race on cancer-associated VTE remains unexplored. We examined whether black cancer patients are at a higher risk of VTE and whether these differences are present in specific cancer types. Design: A retrospective study was performed in the largest safety net hospital of New England using...

Objectives: National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for stage III colon cancer define low-risk versus high-risk patients based on T (1 to 3 vs. 4) and N (1 vs. 2) status, with some variations in treatment. This study analyzes the impact of tumor deposits (TDs), T and N status, poor differentiation (PD), perineural invasion (PNI), and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) on survival. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis (2010-2015) of the National Cancer Database of stage...

Introduction: Small cell prostate cancer (SCPC) is a rare histologic subtype of prostate cancer, for which the optimal staging strategy remains unclear. Method: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was used to analyze the incidence and outcomes of SCPC between the years 2004 through 2016. Limited-stage SCPC (LS-SCPC) was defined as SCPC without any metastasis regardless of local invasion. Extensive stage SCPC (ES-SCPC) was defined as any metastasis to lymph nodes and/or...

Objectives: There is no study published regarding the benefit of radiation therapy (RT) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC). This report is part of an exploratory study aiming to determine the immunomodulatory activity of RT alone or in combination with pembrolizumab in solid tumors. Materials and Methods: mRCC patients were treated with a combination of RT (8 Gy×1 or 4 Gy×5) followed by pembrolizumab with or without...

Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess the reliability of intraoperative uterine assessment compared with the final pathologic evaluation in patients with endometrial cancer (EC) and whether assessment improves with experience. Methods: After Institutional Review Board approval, a prospective cohort study of women surgically managed with biopsy-proven complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) or EC between March 2015 and December 2016 was performed. Demographics, preoperative biopsy...
