The generation of glioma organoids and the comparison of two culture methods
ConclusionThe success rates of the Matrigel and microtumor methods were 45.5% and 60.5%, respectively. The microtumor method had a higher success rate, shorter establishment time, more convenient passage and cryopreservation methods, better simulation of the cellular and histological characteristics of the parent tumor, and a high genetic guarantee.

Psoas muscle area is an independent survival prognosticator in patients undergoing surgery for long ‐bone metastases
ConclusionsDecreased PMA on CT is associated with worse survival in surgically treated patients with extremity metastases, even after controlling for three contemporary SPAs. Physicians should consider the additional prognostic value of PMA on survival in patients undergoing consideration for operative management due to extremity metastases. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Clinical utility of the Oncomine Dx Target Test multi ‐CDx system and the possibility of utilizing those original sequence data
ConclusionEven if sufficient tumor samples are obtained, rareEGFR mutations (which are excluded from the ODxTT's genetic mutation list) might not be detected using the current ODxTT system due to the program used for sequence analysis. However, such rareEGFR mutations can still be accurately detected on ODxTT's sequence data using next-generation sequencing. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Enhanced clinical outcomes with radiotherapy in diagnostically challenging intracranial plasmacytomas: Analysis of 190 cases
ConclusionsThis retrospective clinical analysis highlights the potential role of radiotherapy, rather than surgical resection, in improving the outcomes of intracranial plasmacytoma. Additionally, the Ki-67 index is identified as a valuable marker for predicting disease progression. This would provide some evidence for the paradigm of diagnosis and treatment modalities for intracranial plasmacytomas from the large cohort. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Do Hispanic Puerto Rican men have worse outcomes after radical prostatectomy? Results from SEARCH
ConclusionsIn an equal access setting, PRH RP patients generally had better pathological features, but despite this, they had significantly worse post-treatment outcomes than men from the Continental US, regardless of race. The reasons for the poorer prognosis among PRH men require further research. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Perceiving a need for dietary change in adults living with and beyond cancer: A cross ‐sectional study
ConclusionsMost of this sample of people LWBC did not perceive a need to improve their diet. More research is needed to understand the reasons for this and to target these reasons in dietary interventions. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

POLQ identifies a better response subset to immunotherapy in muscle ‐invasive bladder cancer with high PD‐L1
ConclusionsThe study demonstrated that high POLQ expression was correlated with chromosome instability and antitumor immune microenvironment in MIBC, and the combination of POLQ and PD-L1 could be used as a superior companion biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Deletion of concurrent chemotherapy on the basis of sequential chemoradiotherapy for non ‐metastatic stage T4 nasopharyngeal carcinoma in IMRT era
ConclusionThe survival outcomes of treating T4 NPC IMRT combined by induction chemotherapy deleting concurrent chemotherapy with or without adjuvant chemotherapy are encouraging. Moreover, mucosal reaction, nausea, and vomiting reaction were reduced during IMRT. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Early recurrence, time ‐to‐recurrence, and recurrence patterns: Assessing their impact on survival outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M‐HNSCC) patients treated with first line platinum‐based chemotherapy
ConclusionTTRI significantly influenced the survival, while recurrence patterns did not. In our study, the retrospective design limited our ability to definitively establish whether early recurrent R/M-HNSCC patients would benefit more from platinum-doublet. Despite poor prognosis, early recurrent patients benefited from 1L systemic treatments. Given the variation in prognoses, TTRI should be considered a stratification factor in future clinical trials.

Comparison of genomic alterations in Epstein –Barr virus‐positive and Epstein–Barr virus‐negative diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma
ConclusionsOur results confirm that genomic alteration differs significantly between EBV-posDLBCL and EBV-negDLBCL, and reveal new genetic alterations in EBV-posDLBCL. The positive correlation of c-MET and PD-L1/c-Myc expression may be involved in the pathogenesis of EBV-posDLBCL, which is should be explored prospectively in trials involving MET-directed therapies.
