Abstract
Abstract
Background: Interactions between cancer cells and the host immune system influence tumor biology, response to therapy and patient survival and their modulation offers promising new approaches for cancer therapy. The downregulation or loss of HLA class I expression in breast cancer cells might be an effective mechanism to evade the recognition by the immune system facilitating malignant behavior.
Aim: To evaluate the association of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) with HLA class I expression and its theranostic value for therapy response and survival after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Methods: HLA class I expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in a cohort of 732 pre-therapeutic core biopsies from breast cancer patients treated within the neoadjuvant GeparTrio trial. Patients received anthracycline- and taxane-based neoadjuvant therapy and adjuvant endocrine treatment if hormone receptor-positive (HR+). A publicly available microarray dataset of pre-therapeutic core biopsies from 508 breast cancer patients that received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and endocrine treatment if HR+ was used for validation of the results. The association of HLA class I expression with predefined genomic signatures for immune cell populations was evaluated in publicly available data from the cancer genome atlas.
Results: HLA class I expression was associated with TILs (p < 0.001) and was predictive of better response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the subgroup of patients with HR+/HER2- breast cancer (14 % in tumors with high HLA vs. 7 % in tumors with low HLA, p = 0.029). Interestingly, high HLA was also predictive for shorter progression-free survival in univariate analysis (HR 1.590, 95 % CI 1.062—2.380; p = 0.024) and after adjustment to clinical and pathological parameters (HR 1.701, 95 % CI 1.105—2.618; p = 0.016). The results could be validated in the independent microarray-based dataset (HR 1.521, 95% CI 1.088 – 2.129; p = 0.0142). HLA class I was not associated with therapy response or survival in hormone receptor-negative breast cancer. HLA class I was associated with a predefined signature for T-cells and cytotoxic T- cells in the cancer genome atlas dataset (rho = 0.546).
Conclusion: HLA class I expression is associated with better response but shorter progression-free survival in HR+/HER2- breast cancer following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The underlying mechanisms warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Summary
Objectives:
To compare the completeness of documentation in the medical record using a structured form (SF) versus a traditional medical record (TMR).
Methods:
Randomised controlled trial comparing the use of SF and TMR in urology out-patient clinics for documentation of 15 items of clinical information, time taken to complete and acceptability to clinicians assessed by a self-completion questionnaire. in a teaching and district general hospitals
Results:
Four hundred new urology patient consultations, 11 clinicians. Completeness of information was compared between groups based on the medical record alone (SF vs. TMR), medical record plus letter to GP and letter alone. SFs were significantly (p<0.0001) more complete than TMRs for the majority of the items in all three groups. There was no significant difference in the time taken to document information using either type of record. The clinicians generally found the SF acceptable for routine use.
Conclusions:
Structured forms significantly improved the completeness of documentation for new out-patient consultations in urology.

Abstract
Aim To determine whether urinary concentrations of phytoestrogens are associated with the rate of disease progression in men with untreated, localised prostate cancer. Patients and methods Patients with untreated, localised prostatic adenocarcinoma on a prospective clinical study of active surveillance had urine samples collected at baseline. Patients underwent monitoring with serial PSA levels and repeat octant prostate biopsies. Disease progression was defined as either adverse histology on repeat biopsy (primary Gleason grade ≥4, or >50% positive cores) or radical treatment for PSA velocity >1 ng/mL/year. Time to disease progression was analysed with respect to baseline urinary levels of genistein, enterolactone, daidzein and equol, assayed using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Results 191 patients were evaluable, with a median follow-up of 2.5 years. 71 patients experienced disease progression. No significant association was seen between time to disease progression and baseline urinary levels of daidzein (p=0.85), genistein (p=0.81), enterolactone (p=0.085) or equol (p=0.33). No significant association was seen between adverse histology on repeat biopsy and urinary levels of either daidzein (p=0.85), genistein (p=0.58), enterolactone (p=0.88) or equol (p=0.71). There was no significant correlation between PSA velocity and urinary levels of daidzein (p=0.90), genistein (p=0.98), enterolactone (p=0.10) or equol (p=0.60). Conclusion These data do not support the hypothesis that phytoestrogens prevent disease progression in men with localised prostate cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An initial bout of eccentric exercise is known to protect against muscle damage following a repeated bout of the same exercise; however, the neuromuscular adaptations owing to this phenomenon are unknown. AIM To determine whether neuromuscular disturbances are modulated following a repeated bout of eccentric exercise. METHODS Following eccentric exercise performed with the elbow flexors, we measured maximal voluntary force, resting twitch force, muscle soreness, creatine kinase (CK) and voluntary activation (VA) using motor point and motor cortex stimulation at baseline, immediately post-exercise and at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days post-exercise on two occasions, separated by 3 weeks. RESULTS Significant muscle damage and fatigue were evident following the first exercise bout; maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) was reduced immediately by 35% and remained depressed at 7 days post-exercise. Soreness and CK release peaked at 3 and 4 days post-exercise respectively. Resting twitch force remained significantly reduced at 7 days (-48%), whilst VA measured with motor point and motor cortex stimulation was reduced until 2 and 3 days respectively. A repeated bout effect (RBE) was observed with attenuated soreness and CK release and a quicker recovery of MVC and resting twitch force. A similar decrement in VA was observed following both bouts; however, following the repeated bout there was a significantly smaller reduction in, and a faster recovery of, VA measured using motor cortical stimulation. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that the RBE may be explained, partly, by a modification in motor corticospinal drive.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Genetic testing is known to improve outcomes in high-risk women by finding cancers in the earliest most treatable stage or through prophylactic measures. However, these life-saving services may not be available to low-income women due to lack of insurance or access to genetic providers. To address this need, a collaboration between the Hereditary Cancer Clinic at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) and the Robert E. Hardy Cancer Clinic at Nashville General Hospital at Meharry Medical College (MMC) was established in 2015 to systematically screen all MMC breast cancer patients for hereditary traits and refer them for genetic counseling (1). We hypothesized that high risk women could be accurately identified using this clinic based screening tool.
Methods: MMC clinic staff screened breast cancer patients using a 10-item Family Cancer Risk Assessment tool (RISK) that has been designed for use in a busy clinic environment (2). We tested the accuracy of the RISK by comparing the results to a 3-generation pedigree and the current NCCN guidelines for referral of patients to genetic services (3). The project was approved by the IRBs at each institution and study data were collected and managed using RedCap electronic data capture tools hosted at Vanderbilt University (4). Summary statistics and Chi-square for significance were performed.
Results: 73 breast cancer patients completed the RISK during their clinic visits and 41 (56%) had a high-risk score of 6 or more. All 41 patients have been referred for genetic counseling, with 18 (44%) women having completed a pedigree interview over the phone. 11 of these 18 patients (61%) were African-American; 5 (27.7%) were Caucasian; and one each (5% each) were of Asian and Hispanic ancestry. 9/18 were diagnosed < 50 years (Mean entire group =50 yrs; range 36 -57). 5/18 (27.7%) had triple negative markers on pathology and 2/18 were ER+/PR+/Her2+, and the remainder had ER+/PR+/HER2- cancers. Among the 18 patients with full pedigrees, 17 (95%) patients met current NCCN guidelines based on pedigree analysis. The one outlier had a revised RISK score based on updated information obtained during the pedigree interview. Genetic testing was offered to 10 patients seen in VICC clinic and 1 declined testing. The other 8 patients either failed (n=4) or are awaiting an appointment (n=4). No deleterious mutations were seen in those tested. 4 VUSs (BRCA2, NBN, SMARCA4, and RAD51D) were found in 3 of the 9 tested patients. No significant differences were found in race, age or type of tumor.
Conclusion: Point of care risk assessment using the Family Cancer Risk Assessment screening tool is highly accurate for identifying patients at high genetic risk for hereditary breast cancer. While the tool was completed using pen and paper, it could easily be computerized for ease of administration and calculation of risk scores. This approach benefits the busy oncologist in identifying and referring appropriate patients for genetic testing.
