Accessibility to ERCP ‐performing hospitals among patients with pancreatic cancer living in SEER regions
ConclusionsPatients with pancreatic cancer and high accessibility to an ERCP-performing hospital were more likely to receive ERCP. Disparities in the receipt of ERCP persisted for Black patients regardless of their access to ERCP-performing hospitals. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Prediction for oxaliplatin ‐induced liver injury using patient‐derived liver organoids
ConclusionsThese results suggested that L-OHP-induced liver injury may be caused by mitochondrial oxidative damage. Furthermore, patient-derived liver organoids may be used to assess susceptibility to L-OHP-induced liver injury in individual patients. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Finding a needle in a haystack: The identification of clinical practice guidelines for psychosocial oncology through an environmental scan of the academic and gray literature
ConclusionSeveral concerns arose from the systematic search. The limited publication of CPGs in peer-reviewed journals may make clinicians and stakeholders more hesitant to implement CPGs due to uncertainties about the methodological rigor of the development process. Further, many existing CPGs are outdated or failed to be updated according to guideline recommendations, meaning that the recommendations may fall short of their purpose to translate up-to-date research findings.Future directionsFuture research should seek to systematically assess the quality of existing psychosocial oncology CPGs and shed light on the current...

Survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy after resection of Stage I lung adenocarcinoma containing micropapillary components
ConclusionAmong patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma with MIP components, those who received ACT showed significant survival benefits compared to those without ACT. Patients with lung adenocarcinoma with MIP components could benefit from ACT when the MIP was ≥1%. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

What do cancer patients experience of the simultaneous care clinic? Results of a cross ‐sectional study on patient care satisfaction
ConclusionOur study shows high levels of satisfactions after SCOC consultation in advanced cancer subjects. Patients' feedback confirmed that SCOC model was effective in helping them during their treatment journey and decision at the end of life. This study encouraged us to enhance our practice of SCOC consultation.Implications for PracticeA joint evaluation of patients living with cancer by oncologist and palliative care team (SCOC-embedded model), has shown to enhance patients' experience/satisfaction with care-such as listening, understanding, receiving information, symptom control, and decision about future, independen...

Cocaine use and head and neck cancer risk: A pooled analysis in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology Consortium
ConclusionIn this pooled analysis, we observed a weak positive association between cocaine inhalation and HNC risk. Our findings provide preliminary evidence of the potential carcinogenic effect of cocaine on HNC. Because of study limitations, including limited number of cocaine users, confounding, and heterogeneity across studies, future investigations will require larger studies with more detailed information on cocaine use history.

A multicenter, real ‐world study on effectiveness and safety of first‐line modified PD‐1 inhibitors with chemotherapy in advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) with drive gene‐negative
ConclusionsThe modified PD-1 inhibitors showed comparable survival outcomes and manageable safety profiles in NSCLC compared to Pembrolizumab. Moreover, these inhibitors exhibited improved accessibility and economic outcomes compared to Pembrolizumab. While there were similarities in drug-related and immunotherapy-related adverse reactions between the modified PD-1 inhibitors and Pembrolizumab, there were some slight differences. Further prospective and retrospective studies would be necessary to validate these findings beyond the scope of the CTONG1901 study. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Risk stratification of LA ‐NPC during chemoradiotherapy based on clinical classification and TVRR
ConclusionThe reliance on clinical types and TVRR facilitates risk stratification of NPC during chemoradiotherapy, providing a foundation for physicians to tailor therapeutic strategies. Moreover, the risk cluster delineated for NPC patients during the mid-term of chemoradiotherapy stands as an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), distantmetastasis-free survival (DMFS), and local recurrence-free (LRRFS) posttreatment. Additionally, individuals in the high-risk cluster are recommended to undergo adjuvant chemotherapy after CCRT. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

The association of genomic alterations with PD ‐L1 expression in Chinese patients with EGFR/ALK wild‐type lung adenocarcinoma and potential predictive value of Hippo pathway mutations to immunotherapy
ConclusionsThis study offers insights into genomic features of Chinese EGFR/ALK wild-type lung adenocarcinoma patients based on PD-L1 expression. Notably, Hippo pathway alterations were linked to improved immunotherapy outcomes. These findings suggest connections between the Hippo pathway and PD-L1 expression, warranting further clinical and functional investigations. The research advances our understanding of PD-L1 expression's genomic context and immunotherapy response in EGFR/ALK wild-type lung adenocarcinoma. (Source: Cancer Medicine)
