Abstract
Abstract
Background: Previous studies demonstrated that the incidence rate of invasive contralateral breast cancer (CBC) was 5% within the first 10 years after the primary breast cancer (BC). However improving long-term breast cancer survivorship and advancements in diagnostic imaging have resulted in an increased detection of bilateral breast cancer (BBC), and trends of bilateral invasive and in situ breast cancer are not well established. The aim of this study was to assess national trends of BBC incidence of the United States (US) and Japan.
Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1973-2014) and the clinical database of Breast Oncology Center of Cancer Institute Hospital in Tokyo, Japan (Ganken) database (1946-2015) were used to identify nSEER=11,771 and nGanken=1,499 women diagnosed with BBC, respectively. BBC was defined as invasive BC and/or ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ diagnosed in both breasts simultaneously or after primary breast cancer diagnosis. BBC was grouped into synchronous or metachronous BBC by the interval between first BC and contralateral BC; synchronous cases were defined as CBC diagnosed at the same time or within an interval of 1 year from primary BC diagnosis whereas metachronous cases were defined as a diagnosis occuring 1 year following the primary BC. We assessed trends of BBC incidence and characteristics of BBC cases between the two countries. To determine temporal trends in the incidence of BBC and proportion of the characteristics, we compared them using the Cochrane-Armitage test for trend.
Results: The rates of BBC have significantly increased in both countries (Table 1, 2) [1975: 2.6%; 2014: 7.5% in SEER (p<0.001), 1946-1980: 3.3%; 2011-2015: 10.7% in Ganken (p<0.001)]. The increase was identified in both synchronous and metachronous BBC. In SEER, 40% of synchronous BBC were found as in situ BC and about 15% of BBC presented as invasive lobular carcinoma. More recently, CBC was more likely to be diagnosed at early stages (in situ and local disease) than in previous years [1975: 65%; 2014: 85% in SEER (p<0.001)]. The interval between first BC and contralateral BC have shortened, and CBC were more likely to be operated simultaneously in both countries [1985: 40%; 2014: 51% in SEER, 1946-1980: 24%; 2011-2015: 74% in Ganken].

Conclusion: In the modern era, the number of BBC cases have increased and are more likely to be found at an early stage. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the usefulness of early detection of CBC and to define the best means to tailor therapy for patients with bilateral disease.

Abstract
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a progressive and eventually fatal neurological disease arising from a persistent infection with measles virus (MV) acquired at a young age. SSPE measles virus strains are defective and unable to produce progeny virions, due to multiple and extensive mutations in a number of key genes. We sequenced the full MV genome from our recently reported SSPE case, which typed as genotype D6, and compared it with other genotype D6 wild type and SSPE sequences. The Alberta D6 strain was significantly different from other reported SSPE D6 sequences. Mutations were observed in all the genes of the Alberta strain, with the greatest sequence divergence noted in the M gene with 17.6% nucleotide and 31% amino acid variation. The L gene showed the least variation with 1.3% nucleotide and 0.7% amino acid differences respectively. The nucleotide variability for 15,672 bases of the complete genome compared to the wild type and other SSPE D6 strains was around 3%.

Abstract
Endobronchial brachytherapy could be proposed in case of endoluminal tumours either as a palliative or a curative treatment. As a curative treatment, endobronchial brachytherapy could obtain a high local control rate in case of limited disease. In palliative setting, endobronchial brachytherapy improved thoracic symptoms in more than 80% of cases, but it is less efficient than external beam radiation therapy for palliation. It could be also proposed to maintain the airway open after laser therapy. Oesophageal brachytherapy is a valuable option as a palliative treatment, underused at this time. It causes less side effects and a better quality of life compared to self-expanded metallic stents. For a curative aim, there is today no demonstration that a combination of external beam radiotherapy and oesophageal brachytherapy give better results than external beam radiotherapy alone in locally advanced tumours. For superficial diseases, the combination of external beam radiotherapy and oesophageal brachytherapy seems, on the contrary, promising.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Despite a growing understanding of the somatic landscape of breast tumors from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, less is known about breast tumors from carriers of germline mutations in other homologous recombination and DNA repair pathway genes such as ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2.
Methods: We identified 44 clinically annotated breast cancer cases that included carriers of germline mutations in BRCA1 (n=9), BRCA2 (n=9), ATM (n=5), CHEK2 (n=7), and PALB2 (n=6) from the Hereditary Cancer Risk Program at BUMC. Sporadic breast cancers cases (n=8) were also collected. Genomic DNA and RNA were extracted from macro-dissected FFPE tumor sections, adjacent normal FFPE tissue, along with constitutional genomic DNA from blood. Expanded whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on normal/tumor pairs and RNA-seq from tumors for each case. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using industry standard methods for somatic characterization.
Results: All germline mutations were confirmed by WES. Somatic mutational analysis and copy number profiling from WES revealed the greatest similarities among BRCA1 and CHEK2 carriers. As expected, TP53 mutations were found in 8 of 9 BRCA1 carriers as all were triple negative subtype. We also detected somatic TP53 mutations in tumors from 4 of 7 CHEK2 carriers. Somatic TP53 mutations were found in only 1 of 7 BRCA2 tumors and 1 of 4 PALB2 tumors tested. Furthermore, BRCA1 and CHEK2 tumors showed trends of having higher mutation burden. Analysis of copy number BRCAness demonstrated stronger similarities between BRCA1, ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2 tumors. BRCA2 tumors were unique with fewer events and characterized by specific amplifications including 11q23 (CCND1) and 17q23 (BRIP1). Hierarchical clustering of RNA-seq data revealed strong clustering of BRCA1 tumors compared to all other tumors, predominantly attributed to breast cancer subtype. Furthermore, pathway analysis of genes that distinguish BRCA1 mutation positive versus non-BRCA mutated tumors showed strong correlation to pro-inflammatory and immune pathway signatures.
Conclusions: Molecular analysis of 44 breast cancers from individuals with inherited predisposition to breast cancer via BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2 germline mutations demonstrated strongest somatic similarities between BRCA1 and CHEK2 tumors although all BRCA1 were TNBC and all CHEK2 tumors were ER positive. Marked differential gene expression differences in RNA expression patterns were observed in BRCA1 mutation carriers compared with all other groups analyzed. Our study is among the first to interrogate the profile of non-BRCA mutated hereditary breast cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypodontia and hyperdontia are considered to be at opposite ends of the dental development spectrum. Nevertheless, these anomalies may occur concomitantly (hypohyperdontia). CASE REPORT This clinical report describes two case of hypohyperdontia occurring exclusively in the premaxillary region, and the difficulties associated with its diagnosis and management. Following 24 months of follow-up examinations, Case 1 developed a sequential supernumerary tooth in the tooth 35 region. CONCLUSION Cases of hypohyperdontia can occur exclusively in the premaxillary region and may be difficult to diagnose. Multidisciplinary treatment planning is essential to facilitate appropriate management, and long-term follow-up is necessary as sequential supernumerary teeth may develop.

Abstract
PURPOSE Availability of comorbidity assessment at multi-disciplinary team (MDT) discussions is cornerstone in making the MDT process more robust and decisive in optimising treatment and improving quality of survivorship. Comorbidity assessments using tools, such as the ACE-27 questionnaire would aid in optimising the decision-making process at MDTs so that treatment decisions can be made without delay. This study determined the availability of comorbidity data in a CRC MDT and the feasibility of routine comorbidity data collection using the validated ACE-27 questionnaire. Secondary aims determined the optimal time and method of collecting comorbidity data. METHODS A retrospective mapping exercise (phase I; 6-months) examined the availability of comorbidity data within the MDT. Phase II prospectively collected comorbidity data using ACE-27 for a 3-month period following a short pilot. RESULTS In phase I, 73/135 (54%) patients had comorbidity data readily available informing the MDT discussion; 62 patients lacked this information. After a review of the patient records, it was clear that 41 of these 62 also had comorbidities and 21 out of the 135 had ≥ 2 major system disorders. Common referral sources to the MDT were surgical outpatient clinics (42%) and the endoscopy unit (13%). The average lead-time from referral to MDT discussion was 14 days. In phase II, an ACE-27 questionnaire was prospectively administered in 50 patients, mean age 54 years (range 20-84). Male: female ratio 26:24. Average time to administer ACE-27 was 4.8 min (range 1-15). CONCLUSIONS The phase I study confirmed the widely acknowledged view of poor comorbidity data availability within a CRC MDT. Phase II demonstrated the feasibility of routinely collecting comorbidity data using ACE-27.

Abstract
A 6-month randomized controlled trial of spine-strengthening exercise and posture training reduced both radiographic and clinical measures of kyphosis. Participants receiving the intervention improved self-image and satisfaction with their appearance. Results suggest that spine-strengthening exercise and postural training may be an effective treatment option for older adults with hyperkyphosis. INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study is to determine in a randomized controlled trial whether spine-strengthening exercises improve Cobb angle of kyphosis in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS We recruited adults ≥60 years with kyphosis ≥40° and enrolled 99 participants (71 women, 28 men), mean age 70.6 ± 0.6 years, range 60-88, with baseline Cobb angle 57.4 ± 12.5°. The intervention included group spine-strengthening exercise and postural training, delivered by a physical therapist, 1-h, three times weekly for 6 months. Controls received four group health education meetings. The primary outcome was change in the gold standard Cobb angle of kyphosis measured from standing lateral spine radiographs. Secondary outcomes included change in kyphometer-measured kyphosis, physical function (modified Physical Performance Test, gait speed, Timed Up and Go, Timed Loaded Standing, 6-Min Walk), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (PROMIS global health and physical function indexes, SRS-30 self-image domain). ANCOVA was used to assess treatment effects on change from baseline to 6 months in all outcomes. RESULTS There was a -3.0° (95% CI -5.2, -0.8) between-group difference in change in Cobb angle, p = 0.009, favoring the intervention and approximating the magnitude of change from an incident vertebral fracture. Kyphometer-measured kyphosis (p = 0.03) and SRS-30 self-esteem (p < 0.001) showed favorable between-group differences in change, with no group differences in physical function or additional HRQoL outcomes, p > 0.05. CONCLUSIONS Spine-strengthening exercise and posture training over 6 months reduced kyphosis compared to control. Our randomized controlled trial results suggest that a targeted kyphosis-specific exercise program may be an effective treatment option for older adults with hyperkyphosis.
