Abstract
The early diagnosis of lung cancer improves the probability of successful treatment. However, patients and physicians face several difficulties that can considerably delay the diagnostic process. A mixed-methods study that would follow the patient's journey throughout the diagnostic process could alleviate these difficulties. This study aimed to (a) track the patients' journey from the onset of symptoms until diagnosis and, (b) explore the patients' perspective of the journey until diagnosis, on the largest island of Greece. A convergent mixed-methods study was conducted with 94 patients with lung cancer. Patients completed a self-report questionnaire and were interviewed about their symptoms and journey through the healthcare system before their diagnosis. Our findings revealed several problems and delays in the diagnostic process. Both quantitative and qualitative data showed that patients did not recognize their symptoms and sought medical advice in time because they overlooked or attributed their symptoms to 'simpler'/'more common' causes. Furthermore, most patients were diagnosed 1-3 months after their first visit to a physician for their symptoms. Qualitative data analysis revealed three broad categories of problems that delayed diagnosis: (1) physician missteps, (2) administrative problems, and (3) the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. This study found that major issues and delays prolong the diagnostic process for lung cancer. Therefore, optimization of diagnostic processes at each level of healthcare and interspecialty cooperation programs are needed. Furthermore, population-based interventions and patient education can help lung cancer patients be diagnosed early and improve their quality of life and disease outcomes.

Abstract
This study primarily aimed to generate real-world evidence (RWE) on the profile and first-line treatment (1LT) patterns of patients with advanced (unresectable Stage III/metastatic) cutaneous melanoma initiated on immuno-oncology (IO)- or targeted therapy (TT)-based 1LT between 1 January 2015 and 1 January 2018 (index period), in routine settings of Greece. This was a multicenter, retrospective chart review study. Eligible consented (unless deceased, for whom consent was waived by the hospital) patients were consecutively included by six oncology clinics. The look-back period extended from informed consent or death to initial melanoma diagnosis. Between 9 Junuary 2021 and 9 February 2022, 225 eligible patients (all Caucasians; 60.4% male; 35.6% diagnosed with de novo advanced melanoma) were included. At 1LT initiation, median age was 62.6 years; 2.7/6.7/90.7% of the patients had Stage IIIB/IIIC/IV disease and 9.3% were unresected. Most frequent metastatic sites were the lung (46.7%), non-regional nodes (33.8%), and liver (20.9%). Among patients, 98.2% had single primary melanoma, 45.6% had disease localized on the trunk, and 63.6% were BRAF-mutant. Of the patients, 45.3% initiated 1LT with an IO-based, 53.3% with a TT-based regimen, and three patients (1.3%) received TT-based followed by IO-based or vice versa. Most common 1LT patterns (frequency ≥10%) were BRAFi/MEKi combination (31.6%), anti-PD-1 monotherapy (25.3%), BRAFi monotherapy (21.8%), and anti-CTLA-4 monotherapy (17.8%). Most frequent regimens were Dabrafenib+Trametinib in 25.3%, and monotherapies with Pembrolizumab/Ipilimumab/Vemurafenib/Dabrafenib in 23.6/17.8/11.1/10.7% of patients, respectively. SUMMER provides RWE on 1LT strategies and profile of patients initiated 1L IO- or TT-based therapy in Greece during the 3-year index period.

Abstract
The 313-variant polygenic risk score (PRS313) provides a promising tool for breast cancer risk prediction. However, evaluation of the PRS313 across different European populations which could influence risk estimation has not been performed. Here, we explored the distribution of PRS313 across European populations using genotype data from 94,072 females without breast cancer, of European-ancestry from 21 countries participating in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) and 225,105 female participants from the UK Biobank. The mean PRS313 differed markedly across European countries, being highest in south-eastern Europe and lowest in north-western Europe. Using the overall European PRS313 distribution to categorise individuals leads to overestimation and underestimation of risk in some individuals from south-eastern and north-western countries, respectively. Adjustment for principal components explained most of the observed heterogeneity in mean PRS. Country-specific PRS distributions may be used to calibrate risk categories in individuals from different countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited information exists on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) molecular epidemiology in Greece. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the recommended method for EGFR genotyping in NSCLC. The Idylla Biocartis platform is a fully automated system for actionable EGFR mutation detection. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We describe the prevalence of EGFR mutations in NSCLC patients in two high-volume clinical centers in Greece and compare key methods used for their determination. Eight hundred and fifty-seven FFPE samples from NSCLC patients were tested for EGFR mutations at University of Crete (UoC; n = 324) and at Evangelismos Hospital, Athens (Evangelismos; n = 503). RESULTS The prevalence of EGFR mutations was 11.1% in the whole cohort (11.5% in non-squamous). The detection rate was 11.0% by NGS, 9.8% by Sanger and 11.3% by Idylla for the whole cohort (12.0% in non-squamous). The agreement between Idylla and Sanger was 93.2%. A targetable EGFR mutation was detected in 10.0% using tissue NGS alone, and in 16.0% using concurrent Idylla ctEGFR testing. CONCLUSION The frequency of EGFR mutations was as expected for a Caucasian population. The Idylla EGFR test performance is comparable to reference methods and with a shorter TAT. Adding a concurrent plasma Idylla test to tissue NGS testing increases the detection rate of EGFR mutations in NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polygenic risk score (PRS), calculated based on genome-wide association studies (GWASs), can improve breast cancer (BC) risk assessment. To date, most BC GWASs have been performed in individuals of European (EUR) ancestry, and the generalisation of EUR-based PRS to other populations is a major challenge. In this study, we examined the performance of EUR-based BC PRS models in Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) women. METHODS We generated PRSs based on data on EUR women from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). We tested the performance of the PRSs in a cohort of 2161 AJ women from Israel (1437 cases and 724 controls) from BCAC (BCAC cohort from Israel (BCAC-IL)). In addition, we tested the performance of these EUR-based BC PRSs, as well as the established 313-SNP EUR BC PRS, in an independent cohort of 181 AJ women from Hadassah Medical Center (HMC) in Israel. RESULTS In the BCAC-IL cohort, the highest OR per 1 SD was 1.56 (±0.09). The OR for AJ women at the top 10% of the PRS distribution compared with the middle quintile was 2.10 (±0.24). In the HMC cohort, the OR per 1 SD of the EUR-based PRS that performed best in the BCAC-IL cohort was 1.58±0.27. The OR per 1 SD of the commonly used 313-SNP BC PRS was 1.64 (±0.28). CONCLUSIONS Extant EUR GWAS data can be used for generating PRSs that identify AJ women with markedly elevated risk of BC and therefore hold promise for improving BC risk assessment in AJ women.

Abstract
Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) is a rare and heterogenous disease for which surgery is the cornerstone of treatment. However, the local recurrence rate is much higher than in soft tissue sarcoma of the extremities since wide resection is usually unfeasible in RPS due to its large size, indistinct tumour borders, anatomical constraints and the thinness of the overlying peritoneum. Local recurrence is the leading cause of death for low-grade RPS, whereas high-grade tumours are prone to distant metastases. In recent decades, the role of emerging therapeutic strategies, such as more extended surgery and (neo)adjuvant treatments to improve oncological outcome in primary localised RPS, has been extensively investigated. In this review, the recent data on the evolving multidisciplinary management of primary localised RPS are comprehensively discussed. The heterogeneity of RPS, with their different histological subtypes and biological behaviour, renders a standard therapeutic 'one-size-fits-all' approach inappropriate, and treatment should be modified according to histological type and malignancy grade. There is sufficient evidence that frontline extended surgery with compartmental resection including all ipsilateral retroperitoneal fat and liberal en bloc resection of adjacent organs and structures, even if they are not macroscopically involved, increases local tumour control in low-grade sarcoma and liposarcoma, but not in leiomyosarcoma for which complete macroscopic resection seems sufficient. Additionally, preoperative radiotherapy is not indicated for all RPSs, but seems to be beneficial in well-differentiated liposarcoma and grade I/II dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and probably in solitary fibrous tumour. Whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy is of benefit in high-grade RPS remains unclear from retrospective data and is subject of the ongoing randomised STRASS 2 trial, from which the results are eagerly awaited. Personalised, histology-tailored multimodality treatment is promising and will likely further evolve as our understanding of the molecular and genetic characteristics within RPS improves.

Abstract
The personalization of therapies in breast cancer has favoured the introduction of new molecular-targeted therapies into clinical practice. Among them, cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have acquired increasing importance, with the approval in recent years of palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib in combination with endocrine therapy. Currently, no guidelines are available to monitor and manage potential long-term toxicities associated with the use of these drugs. A multidisciplinary panel of European oncologists, was supported by a pharmacologist, a hematologist, a hepatologist and a pulmonologist to discuss the management of long-term toxicities, based on the literature review and their clinical experience. The panel provided detailed roadmaps to manage long-term toxicities associated with the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in clinical practice. Knowing the frequency and characteristics of the toxicity profile associated with each CDK4/6 inhibitor is important in the decision-making process to match the right drug to the right patient.

Abstract
Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common but serious complication encountered in patients with cancer and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this prospective study, 63 patients with solid tumors under chemotherapy or immunotherapy were admitted to the hospital due to febrile neutropenia, confirmed through clinical or microbiological documentation. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the epidemiological and microbiological characteristics of hospitalized neutropenic patients with solid tumors undergoing treatment. Additionally, we aimed to assess the duration of neutropenia and identify factors influencing patient outcomes. The median age of patients was 71 ± 10.2 years, most of which were males (66.7%), and the primitive tumor location was the lung (38.1%), with most patients (82.5%) being at disease stage IV. The median duration of neutropenia was three days (range 1-10), and, notably, mucositis was significantly associated with neutropenia lasting ≥3 days (p = 0.012). Patients with lung cancer (38.1%) and patients with stage IV disease (82.5%) presented a higher risk of FN, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. The site of infection was identifiable in 55.6% of patients, with positive cultures detected in 34.9% and positive blood cultures (BC) drawn in 17.5% of cases. Gram-positive bacteria were the predominant causative agents in BC (63.6%), with Staphylococci being the most prevalent among them (66.7%). The median duration of hospitalization was nine days (range, 3-43 days), and most patients showed improvement or cure of infection (16.9% and 74.6%, respectively). Among recorded risk factors, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) appears to be statistically significant. Patients with an impaired PS score (2-4) experienced worse outcomes and higher likelihood of mortality (p = 0.004). Regarding the outcome, a longer duration of neutropenia was also statistically significant (p = 0.050). Of the patients, 12.7% ultimately succumbed to their conditions, with 37.5% attributed to infections. FN is a common yet serious complication in solid tumor patients. Adequate knowledge of the predictors of mortality and the microbiological causes are of utmost importance to allow accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment as they significantly influence patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the molecular profiles of 237 stage III CRC patients from the international IDEA study. It also sought to correlate these profiles with Toll-like and vitamin D receptor polymorphisms, clinicopathological and epidemiological characteristics, and patient outcomes. METHODS Whole Exome Sequencing and PCR-RFLP on surgical specimens and blood samples, respectively, were performed to identify molecular profiling and the presence of Toll-like and vitamin D polymorphisms. Bioinformatic analysis revealed mutational status. RESULTS Among the enrolled patients, 63.7% were male, 66.7% had left-sided tumors, and 55.7% received CAPOX as adjuvant chemotherapy. Whole exome sequencing identified 59 mutated genes in 11 different signaling pathways from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) CRC panel. On average, patients had 8 mutated genes (range, 2-21 genes). Mutations in ARAF and MAPK10 emerged as independent prognostic factors for reduced DFS (p = 0.027 and p < 0.001, respectively), while RAC3 and RHOA genes emerged as independent prognostic factors for reduced OS (p = 0.029 and p = 0.006, respectively). Right-sided tumors were also identified as independent prognostic factors for reduced DFS (p = 0.019) and OS (p = 0.043). Additionally, patients with tumors in the transverse colon had mutations in genes related to apoptosis, PIK3-Akt, Wnt, and MAPK signaling pathways. CONCLUSIONS Molecular characterization of tumor cells can enhance our understanding of the disease course. Mutations may serve as promising prognostic biomarkers, offering improved treatment options. Confirming these findings will require larger patient cohorts and international collaborations to establish correlations between molecular profiling, clinicopathological and epidemiological characteristics and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) patients with a germline CHEK2 c.1100delC variant have an increased risk of contralateral BC (CBC) and worse BC-specific survival (BCSS) compared to non-carriers. AIM To assessed the associations of CHEK2 c.1100delC, radiotherapy, and systemic treatment with CBC risk and BCSS. METHODS Analyses were based on 82,701 women diagnosed with a first primary invasive BC including 963 CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers; median follow-up was 9.1 years. Differential associations with treatment by CHEK2 c.1100delC status were tested by including interaction terms in a multivariable Cox regression model. A multi-state model was used for further insight into the relation between CHEK2 c.1100delC status, treatment, CBC risk and death. RESULTS There was no evidence for differential associations of therapy with CBC risk by CHEK2 c.1100delC status. The strongest association with reduced CBC risk was observed for the combination of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy [HR (95% CI): 0.66 (0.55-0.78)]. No association was observed with radiotherapy. Results from the multi-state model showed shorter BCSS for CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers versus non-carriers also after accounting for CBC occurrence [HR (95% CI): 1.30 (1.09-1.56)]. CONCLUSION Systemic therapy was associated with reduced CBC risk irrespective of CHEK2 c.1100delC status. Moreover, CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers had shorter BCSS, which appears not to be fully explained by their CBC risk.

Current Cardioprotective Strategies for the Prevention of Radiation-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Left-Sided Breast Cancer Patients. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1038.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy in females, accounting for the majority of cancer-related deaths worldwide. There is well-established understanding about the effective role of radiotherapy (RT) in BC therapeutic strategies, offering a better local-regional control, prolonged survival, and improved quality of life for patients. However, it has been proven that conventional RT modalities, especially in left-sided BC cases, are unable to avoid the administration of high RT doses to the heart, thus resulting in cardiotoxicity and promoting long-term cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Recent radiotherapeutic techniques, characterized by dosimetric dose restrictions, target volume revision/modifications, an increased awareness of risk factors, and consistent follow-ups, have created an advantageous context for a significant decrease inpost-RT CVD incidence. AIM This review presents the fundamental role of current cardioprotective strategies in the prevention of cardiotoxic effects in left-BCRT. MATERIAL AND METHODS A literature search was conducted up to January 2023 using the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and PubMed Central databases. Our review refers to new radiotherapeutic techniques carried out on patients after BC surgery. Specifically, a dose evaluation of the heart and left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) was pointed out for all the included studies, depending on the implemented RT modality, bed positioning, and internal mammary lymph nodes radiation. RESULTS Several studies reporting improved heart sparing with new RT techniques in BC patients were searched. In addition to the RT modality, which definitely determines the feasibility of achieving lower doses for the organs at risk (OARs), better target coverage, dose conformity and homogeneity, and the patient's position, characteristics, and anatomy may also affect the evaluated RT dose to the whole heart and its substructures. CONCLUSIONS Modern BC RT techniques seem to enable the administration of lower doses to the OARs without compromising on the target coverage. The analysis of several anatomical parameters and the assessment of cardiac biomarkers potentiate the protective effect of these new irradiation modalities, providing a holistic approach to the radiation-associated risks of cardiac disease for BC patients. Despite technological advances, an inevitable cardiac radiation risk still exists, while adverse cardiac events may be observed even many years after RT. Studies with longer follow-ups are required in order to determine the effectiveness of modern breast RT techniques.

Abstract
FANCM germline protein truncating variants (PTVs) are moderate-risk factors for ER-negative breast cancer. We previously described the spectrum of FANCM PTVs in 114 European breast cancer cases. In the present, larger cohort, we report the spectrum and frequency of four common and 62 rare FANCM PTVs found in 274 carriers detected among 44,803 breast cancer cases. We confirmed that p.Gln1701* was the most common PTV in Northern Europe with lower frequencies in Southern Europe. In contrast, p.Gly1906Alafs*12 was the most common PTV in Southern Europe with decreasing frequencies in Central and Northern Europe. We verified that p.Arg658* was prevalent in Central Europe and had highest frequencies in Eastern Europe. We also confirmed that the fourth most common PTV, p.Gln498Thrfs*7, might be a founder variant from Lithuania. Based on the frequency distribution of the carriers of rare PTVs, we showed that the FANCM PTVs spectra in Southwestern and Central Europe were much more heterogeneous than those from Northeastern Europe. These findings will inform the development of more efficient FANCM genetic testing strategies for breast cancer cases from specific European populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Real-world data on the EGFR mutational profile upon progression after first/second-generation EGFR-TKI treatment in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and treatment strategies employed thereon are needed. PATIENTS AND METHODS This observational study was conducted in 23 hospital-based lung cancer Centers in Greece (protocol code: D133FR00126). Ninety-six eligible patients were consecutively enrolled between July-2017 and September-2019. Re-biopsy was performed in 18 of 79 patients who tested T790M-negative in liquid biopsy after progression in the first-line (1L) setting. RESULTS Of the study population, 21.9% tested T790M-positive, while 72.9% proceeded to 2L treatment, mainly comprising of a third-generation EGFR-TKI (48.6%), a switch to chemotherapy (30.0%), or chemo-immunotherapy (17.1%). The objective response rate (ORR) in 2L was 27.9% in T790M-negative and 50.0% in T790M-positive patients. Of evaluable patients, 67.2% experienced disease progression; median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.7 and 10.0 months among T790M-negative and positive patients, respectively. Among T790M-negative patients, longer median PFS and post-progression survival were observed with third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. CONCLUSION Mutational status and treatment strategy were identified as critical determinants of clinical outcomes in the 2L-setting of EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients in real-world settings in Greece, with early diagnosis, appropriate molecular testing and high-efficacy treatments at first lines positively affecting ORR and PFS.

Abstract
Evidence linking coding germline variants in breast cancer (BC)-susceptibility genes other than BRCA1, BRCA2, and CHEK2 with contralateral breast cancer (CBC) risk and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the association of protein-truncating variants (PTVs) and rare missense variants (MSVs) in nine known (ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, and TP53) and 25 suspected BC-susceptibility genes with CBC risk and BCSS. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated with Cox regression models. Analyses included 34,401 women of European ancestry diagnosed with BC, including 676 CBCs and 3,449 BC deaths; the median follow-up was 10.9 years. Subtype analyses were based on estrogen receptor (ER) status of the first BC. Combined PTVs and pathogenic/likely pathogenic MSVs in BRCA1, BRCA2, and TP53 and PTVs in CHEK2 and PALB2 were associated with increased CBC risk [HRs (95% CIs): 2.88 (1.70-4.87), 2.31 (1.39-3.85), 8.29 (2.53-27.21), 2.25 (1.55-3.27), and 2.67 (1.33-5.35), respectively]. The strongest evidence of association with BCSS was for PTVs and pathogenic/likely pathogenic MSVs in BRCA2 (ER-positive BC) and TP53 and PTVs in CHEK2 [HRs (95% CIs): 1.53 (1.13-2.07), 2.08 (0.95-4.57), and 1.39 (1.13-1.72), respectively, after adjusting for tumor characteristics and treatment]. HRs were essentially unchanged when censoring for CBC, suggesting that these associations are not completely explained by increased CBC risk, tumor characteristics, or treatment. There was limited evidence of associations of PTVs and/or rare MSVs with CBC risk or BCSS for the 25 suspected BC genes. The CBC findings are relevant to treatment decisions, follow-up, and screening after BC diagnosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Growing body of evidence highlights the role of the peripheral anti-tumor immune response in patients with solid tumors. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) comprise all the key circulating immune cell subsets, and their analysis may inform on the peripheral anti-tumor immune response status in real-time. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) hold a key role in the cancer-associated inflammation and tumor immune evasion. We herein aimed to investigate the distribution of these molecules on PBMCs and their prognostic value among patients with breast cancer (BC). Methods: Peripheral blood (PB) was obtained from patients with early (n=99) and metastatic (n=99) BC, prior to the initiation of adjuvant and first-line treatment, respectively. PBMCs were isolated through ficoll density gradient centrifugation and PBMC cytospins were immunofluorescently stained using PD-L1, TLR4 and phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3) antibodies. MDA.MB.231 BC cells served as controls to define the positivity of PBMCs for the respective markers via fluorescence microscopy. Results: PD-L1, TLR4 and pSTAT3 expression was identified on PBMCs of 27.8%, 27.1%, and 83.9% of all patients, respectively. The mean (± standard error of mean, SEM) percentage of positive PBMCs per patient was 13.8% ±1.8%, 10.5% ±1.6% and 37.1% ±1.9, respectively. A positive correlation was shown between the PD-L1pos, TLR4pos and pSTAT3pos PBMC proportions (PD-L1*TLR4; p=0.000, PD-L1*pSTAT3; p=0.001, TLR4*pSTAT3; p=0.002, Spearman’s rho analysis). Patients with metastatic disease displayed increased TLR4pos PBMC percentages as compared to early disease (mean: 15.8% versus 5.2%; p=0.008, Mann Whitney U test). In the early BC setting, the detection of TLR4pos PBMCs was associated with reduced disease-free survival (DFS; median: not reached; p=0.020), while PD-L1pos PBMCs were correlated to shorter overall survival (OS; median: not reached; p=0.009). Early BC patients with PD-L1pos/TLR4pos PBMCs showed significantly reduced survival times (median DFS: not reached; p=0.016; median OS: not reached; p=0.004, Kaplan Meier analysis). Conclusions: PD-L1, TLR4 and pSTAT3 molecules are frequently expressed on PBMCs of patients with BC and provide significant prognostic information for early-stage BC patients. The role of the immune-phenotyping of PBMCs as a source for biomarker discovery merits further investigation in BC.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) patients with a germline CHEK2 c.1100delC variant have an increased risk of contralateral BC (CBC) and worse BC-specific survival (BCSS) compared to non-carriers. We aimed to assess the associations of CHEK2 c.1100delC, radiotherapy, and systemic treatment with CBC risk and BCSS. Analyses were based on 82,701 women diagnosed with invasive BC including 963 CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers; median follow-up was 9.1 years. Differential associations of treatment by CHEK2 c.1100delC status were tested by including interaction terms in a multivariable Cox regression model. A multi-state model was used for further insight into the relation between CHEK2 c.1100delC status, treatment, CBC risk and death. There was no evidence for differential associations of therapy with CBC risk by CHEK2 c.1100delC status The strongest association with reduced CBC risk was observed for the combination of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy [HR(95%CI): 0.66 (0.55-0.78)]. No association was observed with radiotherapy. Results from the multi-state model showed shorter BCSS for CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers versus non-carriers also after accounting for CBC occurrence [HR(95%CI) :1.30 (1.09-1.56)]. In conclusion, systemic therapy was associated with reduced CBC risk irrespective of CHEK2 c.1100delC status. Moreover, CHEK2 c.1100delC carriers had shorter BCSS, which appears not to be fully explained by their CBC risk. (Main MS: 3201 words).

Abstract
Evidence from literature, including the BRIDGES study, indicates that germline protein truncating variants (PTVs) in FANCM confer moderately increased risk of ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), especially for women with a family history of the disease. Association between FANCM missense variants (MVs) and breast cancer risk has been postulated. In this study, we further used the BRIDGES study to test 689 FANCM MVs for association with breast cancer risk, overall and in ER-negative and TNBC subtypes, in 39,885 cases (7566 selected for family history) and 35,271 controls of European ancestry. Sixteen common MVs were tested individually; the remaining rare 673 MVs were tested by burden analyses considering their position and pathogenicity score. We also conducted a meta-analysis of our results and those from published studies. We did not find evidence for association for any of the 16 variants individually tested. The rare MVs were significantly associated with increased risk of ER-negative breast cancer by burden analysis comparing familial cases to controls (OR = 1.48; 95% CI 1.07-2.04; P = 0.017). Higher ORs were found for the subgroup of MVs located in functional domains or predicted to be pathogenic. The meta-analysis indicated that FANCM MVs overall are associated with breast cancer risk (OR = 1.22; 95% CI 1.08-1.38; P = 0.002). Our results support the definition from previous analyses of FANCM as a moderate-risk breast cancer gene and provide evidence that FANCM MVs could be low/moderate risk factors for ER-negative and TNBC subtypes. Further genetic and functional analyses are necessary to clarify better the increased risks due to FANCM MVs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-frequency variants play an important role in breast cancer (BC) susceptibility. Gene-based methods can increase power by combining multiple variants in the same gene and help identify target genes. METHODS We evaluated the potential of gene-based aggregation in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium cohorts including 83,471 cases and 59,199 controls. Low-frequency variants were aggregated for individual genes' coding and regulatory regions. Association results in European ancestry samples were compared to single-marker association results in the same cohort. Gene-based associations were also combined in meta-analysis across individuals with European, Asian, African, and Latin American and Hispanic ancestry. RESULTS In European ancestry samples, 14 genes were significantly associated (q < 0.05) with BC. Of those, two genes, FMNL3 (P = 6.11 × 10-6) and AC058822.1 (P = 1.47 × 10-4), represent new associations. High FMNL3 expression has previously been linked to poor prognosis in several other cancers. Meta-analysis of samples with diverse ancestry discovered further associations including established candidate genes ESR1 and CBLB. Furthermore, literature review and database query found further support for a biologically plausible link with cancer for genes CBLB, FMNL3, FGFR2, LSP1, MAP3K1, and SRGAP2C. CONCLUSIONS Using extended gene-based aggregation tests including coding and regulatory variation, we report identification of plausible target genes for previously identified single-marker associations with BC as well as the discovery of novel genes implicated in BC development. Including multi ancestral cohorts in this study enabled the identification of otherwise missed disease associations as ESR1 (P = 1.31 × 10-5), demonstrating the importance of diversifying study cohorts.

Abstract
MMR gene germline mutations are considered a major genetic disorder in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome; A total of 15% of sporadic colon carcinomas are MSI-High. MSI has also been observed in other cancers, such as endometrial, gastric, and ovarian cancer. The aim of the current study was to correlate and outline the optimal method between the molecular testing of the instability of microsatellite DNA regions (MSI status) and the loss of protein expression by immunehistochemistry (MMR). A total of 242 paraffin-embedded tissues from gastrointestinal, gynecological, genitourinary, lung, breast, and unknown primary cancer patients were analyzed for the expression of MLH1/MSH2/MSH6/PMS2 by immunohistochemistry, as well as for the molecular analysis of MSI status using PCR-based molecular fragment analysis. A total of 29 MSI-High patients were detected molecularly, while 23 patients were detected by immunohistochemistry, with rates that are comparable according to the literature. Based on the agreement coefficient of the two methods, a substantial agreement emerged (Kappa = 0.675 with standard error = 0.081, p < 0.001). Despite the substantial agreement, both methods ought to be established to determine MSI-H/dMMR status in all cancer types as a first-line screening test.

Abstract
MCC is a rare but highly aggressive skin cancer. The identification of the driving role of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and ultraviolet-induced DNA damage in the oncogenesis of MCC allowed a better understanding of its biological behavior. The presence of MCPyV-specific T cells and lymphocytes exhibiting an 'exhausted' phenotype in the tumor microenvironment along with the high prevalence of immunosuppression among affected patients are strong indicators of the immunogenic properties of MCC. The use of immunotherapy has revolutionized the management of patients with advanced MCC with anti-PD-1/PD L1 blockade, providing objective responses in as much as 50-70% of cases when used in first-line treatment. However, acquired resistance or contraindication to immune checkpoint inhibitors can be an issue for a non-negligible number of patients and novel therapeutic strategies are warranted. This review will focus on current management guidelines for MCC and future therapeutic perspectives for advanced disease with an emphasis on molecular pathways, targeted therapies, and immune-based strategies. These new therapies alone or in combination with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors could enhance immune responses against tumor cells and overcome acquired resistance to immunotherapy.

Abstract
Introduction Real-world evidence regarding molecular epidemiology and management patterns of patients with EGFR exon-20 mutated, advanced NSCLC outside the context of clinical trials is lacking. Methods We created a European registry for patients with advanced EGFR exon 20-mutant NSCLC diagnosed from January 2019 to December 2021. Patients enrolled in clinical trials were excluded. Clinicopathologic and molecular epidemiology data were collected, and treatment patterns were recorded. Clinical end points according to treatment assignment were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models. Results Data on 175 patients from 33 centers across nine countries were included in the final analysis. Median age was 64.0 (range: 29.7-87.8) years. Main features included female sex (56.3%), never or past smokers (76.0%), adenocarcinoma (95.4%), and tropism for bone (47.4%) and brain (32.0%) metastases. Mean programmed death-ligand 1 tumor proportional score was 15.8% (range: 0%-95%) and mean tumor mutational burden was 7.06 (range: 0-18.8) mutations per megabase. Exon 20 was detected in the tissue (90.7%), plasma (8.7%), or both (0.6%), using mostly targeted next-generation sequencing (64.0%) or polymerase chain reaction (26.0%). Mutations were mainly insertions (59.3%), followed by duplications (28.1%), deletions-insertions (7.7%), and the T790M (4.5%). Insertions and duplications were located mainly in the near loop (codons 767-771, 83.1%) and the far loop (codons 771-775, 13%) and only in 3.9% within the C helix (codons 761-766). Main co-alterations included mutations in TP53 (61.8%) and MET amplifications (9.4%). Treatment on mutation identification included chemotherapy (CT) (33.8%), CT-immunotherapy (IO) (18.2%), osimertinib (22.1%), poziotinib (9.1%), mobocertinib (6.5%), mono-IO (3.9%), and amivantamab (1.3%). Disease control rates were 66.2% with CT plus or minus IO, 55.8% with osimertinib, 64.8% with poziotinib, and 76.9% with mobocertinib. Corresponding median overall survival was 19.7, 15.9, 9.2, and 22.4 months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, type of treatment (new targeted agents versus CT ± IO) affected progression-free survival (p = 0.051) and overall survival (p = 0.03). Conclusions EXOTIC represents the largest academic real-world evidence data set on EGFR exon 20-mutant NSCLC in Europe. Indirectly compared, treatment with new exon 20-targeting agents is likely to confer survival benefit than CT plus or minus IO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour are associated with higher breast cancer risk in observational studies, but ascribing causality is difficult. Mendelian randomisation (MR) assesses causality by simulating randomised trial groups using genotype. We assessed whether lifelong physical activity or sedentary time, assessed using genotype, may be causally associated with breast cancer risk overall, pre/post-menopause, and by case-groups defined by tumour characteristics. METHODS We performed two-sample inverse-variance-weighted MR using individual-level Breast Cancer Association Consortium case-control data from 130 957 European-ancestry women (69 838 invasive cases), and published UK Biobank data (n=91 105-377 234). Genetic instruments were single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated in UK Biobank with wrist-worn accelerometer-measured overall physical activity (nsnps=5) or sedentary time (nsnps=6), or accelerometer-measured (nsnps=1) or self-reported (nsnps=5) vigorous physical activity. RESULTS Greater genetically-predicted overall activity was associated with lower breast cancer overall risk (OR=0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42 to 0.83 per-standard deviation (SD;~8 milligravities acceleration)) and for most case-groups. Genetically-predicted vigorous activity was associated with lower risk of pre/perimenopausal breast cancer (OR=0.62; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.87,≥3 vs. 0 self-reported days/week), with consistent estimates for most case-groups. Greater genetically-predicted sedentary time was associated with higher hormone-receptor-negative tumour risk (OR=1.77; 95% CI 1.07 to 2.92 per-SD (~7% time spent sedentary)), with elevated estimates for most case-groups. Results were robust to sensitivity analyses examining pleiotropy (including weighted-median-MR, MR-Egger). CONCLUSION Our study provides strong evidence that greater overall physical activity, greater vigorous activity, and lower sedentary time are likely to reduce breast cancer risk. More widespread adoption of active lifestyles may reduce the burden from the most common cancer in women.

Abstract
Gut microbial dysbiosis and microbial passage into the peripheral blood leads to colorectal cancer (CRC) and disease progression. Toll-like (TLR) and vitamin D (VDR) receptors play important role in the immune modulation and polymorphisms that may increase CRC risk and death rates. The aim of the current study was to demonstrate the prognostic value of microbial DNA fragments in the blood of stage III CRC patients and correlate such microbial detection to TLR/VDR polymorphisms. Peripheral blood was collected from 132 patients for the detection of microbial DNA fragments, and TLR/VDR gene polymorphisms. In the detection of various microbial DNA fragments, TLR and VDR polymorphisms was significantly higher compared to healthy group. Homozygous individuals of either TLR or VDR polymorphisms had significantly higher detection rates of microbial DNA fragments. Mutational and MSI status were significantly correlated with TLR9 and VDR polymorphisms. Significantly shorter disease-free survival was associated with patients with BRAF mutated tumors and ApaI polymorphisms, whereas shorter overall survival was associated with the detection of C. albicans. The detection of B. fragilis, as demonstrated by the multivariate analysis, is an independent poor prognostic factor for shorter disease-free survival. TLR/VDR genetic variants were significantly correlated with the detection of microbial fragments in the blood, and this in turn is significantly associated with tumorigenesis and disease progression.

Abstract
Liver cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in Europe and Greece. An increase in specific risk factors, such as metabolic syndrome and obesity, has been observed in Greece. Therefore, exploring temporal trends of liver cancer incidence and mortality is crucial. This study aims to assess the "burden" of malignant liver tumors (MLT) in Crete, Greece, in terms of incidence and mortality rates, and identify the high-risk areas on the island (i.e., municipalities), to suggest public health measures. Data were obtained from the Cancer Registry Center (CRC) and included all cases of MLT for the period 1992-2013 in Crete. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), age-specific incidence rates (ASpIR), age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR), and age-specific mortality rates (ASpMR) were estimated. For the study period (1992-2013), incidence and mortality showed an increasing trend. Mean ASIR was found 15.3/100,000/year and mean ASMR 8.6/100,000/year. Age groups 65-69 and 75-79 years among men presented the highest rates of (ASIR = 39/100,000/year) and among women age groups of 75-79 and 80-84 years a mean ASIR (22/100,000/year). The five-year survival rate of MLT was 50% and the ten-year survival rate was 47% for both genders. Risk factors that were identified included personal history of cancer, family history of MLT or other cancer, degree of relationship, smoking, and obesity. Some municipalities of Crete were found to be high-risk areas for MLT, while differences were detected in incidence and mortality rates, and annual rate change among them. Estimated variation indicates further increase probably due to the lifestyle of the residents, economic crisis, and inadequate preventive measures.

Abstract
Simple Summary Eribulin mesylate, an anti-mitotic drug used for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (BC), exhibits significant effects on cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastatic seeding in experimental models. Interestingly, eribulin treatment has been shown to target the cancer stem cell (CSC) subsets in vitro and reverse the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) state of BC cells. In the current study, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) identified in the peripheral blood of patients with metastatic BC were analyzed at different time points during eribulin treatment and on disease progression. The results contribute new data on the mechanisms of resistance to eribulin mesylate and the prognostic relevance of CTC analyses for eribulin-treated metastatic BC. Abstract We herein aimed to assess the effect of eribulin mesylate on the cancer stem cell (CSC)/EMT-like phenotype of CTCs, and to investigate the prognostic role of CTC detection and monitoring for eribulin-treated BC patients. Peripheral blood was obtained at baseline (n = 42 patients) and 8 days after treatment initiation (C1D8: n = 22), and on disease progression (PD: n = 26). PBMCs cytospins were immunofluorescently stained for Cytokeratins/ALDH1/TWIST1/DAPI and analyzed via Ariol microscopy. CTCs were detected in 33.3%, 27.3%, and 23.1% of patients at baseline, C1D8, and PD, respectively. Accordingly, partial-EMT+ CTCs represented 61.3%, 0%, and 37.5% of total CTCs, whereas the CSC-like phenotype was consistently expressed by 87.5%, 75%, and 91.7% of CTCs at the respective time points. Interestingly, the CSC+/partial-EMT+ subset prevailed at baseline, but it was eradicated on C1D8 and resurged again during PD. CTC detection at baseline was associated with reduced PFS (p = 0.007) and OS (p = 0.005), and was an independent risk factor for death (HR: 3.779, p = 0.001; multivariate analysis). The CSC+/partial-EMT+ CTCs emerged as the only subset with adverse prognostic significance, while CTC monitoring during eribulin therapy improved the prediction of disease progression. These results indicate that resistant CTC subsets persevere eribulin treatment and highlight the prognostic implications of CTC analyses for eribulin-treated BC patients.

Abstract
Aim: To retrospectively characterize real-world therapeutic strategies, clinical outcomes and attrition rates with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), before first-line osimertinib approval, in EGFR-mutated advanced/metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer patients in Greece. Results: Among 160 patients, the discontinuation rate for first-line first- or second-generation EGFR-TKIs was 85%; among these patients, 43% did not receive any second-line therapy and 9.4% died during an 18.7-month follow-up period. Median progression-free and overall survival were 12.1 and 20.9 months, respectively. Osimertinib was offered as second- and third-line treatment in 69.6 and 21.7% of patients with the T790M mutation, respectively. Brain metastases were recorded in 10.6% of patients during treatment, with median overall survival of 4.9 months. Conclusion: Given the high attrition rates and the impact of CNS progression, offering the most appropriate first-line EGFR-TKI treatment with CNS penetration is key to maximize outcomes.

Abstract
Simple Summary Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS)-mutated colorectal cancer (CRC) seems to have a different biological behavior and therapeutic approach compared with non-KRAS mutated CRC. Except for the proven predictive significance of KRAS mutations in CRC patients, their prognostic significance is still under evaluation. Our study shows that 93.2% of RAS-mutated patients were KRAS mutants, with G12D being the most common subtype. KRAS G12D mutation is correlated with better overall survival (OS). KRAS G12C mutations may indicate worse prognosis regarding progression free (PFS) and OS, as well as exon 4 and exon 3 KRAS mutations for PFS and OS, respectively. Further studies are warranted to confirm these results. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major public health issue. The detection of parameters that affect CRC prognosis is of great significance. KRAS mutations, play a crucial role in tumorigenesis with a strong predictive value. KRAS-mutated stage-IV CRC patients gain no benefit of the anti-EGFR therapy. The KRAS G12C mutation subtype is under investigation for treatment regimens. The present study aimed to detect various RAS mutations in a cohort of 578 RAS-mutated CRC patients; 49% of them had de novo metastatic disease; 60% were male; 71.4% had left-sided tumors; and 94.6% had a good performance status. KRAS mutations were detected in 93.2% of patients, with KRAS G12D being the most common subtype (30.1%). KRAS mutations presented shorter progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS), compared with NRAS mutations, although not significantly (PFS: 13.8 vs. 18.5 months; p = 0.552; OS: 53.1 vs. 60.9 months; p = 0.249). KRAS G12D mutations presented better OS rates (p = 0.04). KRAS G12C mutation, even though not significantly, presented worse PFS and OS rates. KRAS exon 3 and 4 mutations presented different PFS and OS rates, although these were not significant. Concluding, KRAS G12D and G12C mutations lead to better and worst prognosis, respectively. Further studies are warranted to validate such findings and their possible therapeutic implication.

Abstract
Despite the strong prognostic stratification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enumeration in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), current clinical trials usually do not include a baseline CTCs in their design. This study aimed to generate a classifier for CTCs prognostic simulation in existing datasets for hypothesis generation in patients with MBC. A K-nearest neighbor machine learning algorithm was trained on a pooled dataset comprising 2436 individual MBC patients from the European Pooled Analysis Consortium and the MD Anderson Cancer Center to identify patients likely to have CTCs ≥ 5/7 mL blood (StageIVaggressive vs StageIVindolent). The model had a 65.1% accuracy and its prognostic impact resulted in a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.89 (Simulatedaggressive vs SimulatedindolentP < .001), similar to patients with actual CTCs enumeration (HR 2.76; P < .001). The classifier's performance was then tested on an independent retrospective database comprising 446 consecutive hormone receptor (HR)-positive HER2-negative MBC patients. The model further stratified clinical subgroups usually considered prognostically homogeneous such as patients with bone-only or liver metastases. Bone-only disease classified as Simulatedaggressive had a significantly worse overall survival (OS; P < .0001), while patients with liver metastases classified as Simulatedindolent had a significantly better prognosis (P < .0001). Consistent results were observed for patients who had undergone CTCs enumeration in the pooled population. The differential prognostic impact of endocrine- (ET) and chemotherapy (CT) was explored across the simulated subgroups. No significant differences were observed between ET and CT in the overall population, both in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and OS. In contrast, a statistically significant difference, favoring CT over ET was observed among Simulatedaggressive patients (HR: 0.62; P = .030 and HR: 0.60; P = .037, respectively, for PFS and OS).

Abstract
e18677 Background: Venous ThromboEmbolism (VTE), might be a challenge with a lot of negative consequences for patients with active cancer. VTE affects ongoing anticancer treatment, worsening morbidity and mortality, increases economic burden and escalates psychological distress. Incidence of VTE in patients with cancer reported 20%. Current guidelines recommend pharmacologic prophylaxis in ambulatory cancer patients with Khorana score ≥2. Methods: ACT4CAT is a prospective observational phase IV study conducted by HeSMO Greece, aiming to record the clinical practice of VTE prophylaxis in active cancer patients. Ambulatory patients who received thromboprophylaxis enrolled after signing informed consent. Study was approved by bioethics committee. Results: 691 patients from 19 oncology departments received thromboprophylaxis in 1st line 57.6%, 2nd line 14.8%, adjuvant 9.0% and neoadjuvant 7.5%. Age ≥65 found 55%, BMI≥30 17.5% and males 63%. Tumor types: gastrointestinal 45.4%, lung 25.8%, urological 11.6%, gynecological 6.0%, breast 4.2% and others 7.0%. High-Risk for Thrombosis Agents (HRTAs) received 87.2%, specifically: platinum agents (56.3%), antimetabolites (54.2%) and immunotherapy (12.1%). 54,5% of the anticancer agents had potential drug-drug interaction (DDI) with anticoagulation treatment. Thromboprophylaxis duration lasted 5.3±3.5 months. Main agents were: tinzaparin 89.6%, fondaparinux 6.0%, bemiparin 2.2%, enoxaparin 1.6%, apixaban 0.3% and rivaroxaban 0.3%. Intermediate thromboprophylaxis dose received 68% of patients, lower in adjuvant setting (45.2%), with a preference in metastatic cases (OR: 1.5 95% CI: 1.02-2.3, p = 0.026). 14 thrombotic events reported (efficacy: 98.0%, 95%CI: 96.6-98.8%) and 12 grade 1 bleeding (1.7%, 95%CI: 1.0-3.0%). Conclusions: Prevention of VTE in ambulatory patients with active cancer found effective and safe. Apart from the Khorana score, specific patient characteristics, metastasis, HRTAs and DDIs seemed that affect clinical decision for thromboprophylaxis mainly with LMWHs and often on intermediate dose regardless the clinical setting. Oncologists appeared informed that CAT is not negligible risk. Clinical trial information: NCT03909399. [Table: see text]

Abstract
3531 Background: Microbial translocation from the intestinal lumen into the blood circulation is significantly linked to intestinal dysbiosis; thus, leading to colorectal cancer (CRC), disease progression and decreased survival. Toll-like (TLRs) and vitamin D receptors (VDRs) play essential role in immunity and gut microbiome determination. Polymorphisms in such receptors have been associated with increased CRC incidence risk and mortality. The aim was to evaluate the microbial translocation in the blood of stage III CRC patients and correlate the presence of TLR and VDR genetic variants with microbial DNA fragments at risk of CRC development and progression. Methods: A total of 132 stage III CRC patients and 100 healthy donors were enrolled in the study. Peripheral blood DNA was analyzed using PCR for the amplification of microbial DNA encoding 16S rRNA, β-galactosidase gene of Escherichia coli, glutamine synthase of Bacteroides fragilis, and 5.8S rRNA of Candida albicans. Moreover, DNA from patients and controls was analyzed using PCR and PCR-RFLP for genotyping functional polymorphisms of both TLR (TLR2, TLR4, TLR9) and VDR ( TaqI, ApaI, FokI and BsmI) genes. Results: Median age of patients was 62 years, 59.8% were males, 92.7% had a colon/sigmoid tumor, 24.4% had a right colon tumor and 99.2% had a good performance status. Microbial DNA fragments from 16S rRNA, E. coli, B. fragilis, and C. albicans were detected in 43.2%, 20.5%, 31.8% and 36.4% of patients, respectively. Significantly higher rates of all microbial fragments, but E. coli, were detected in the group of patients in comparison to healthy donors ( p < 0.001). Similarly, higher rates of both TLR and VDR genetic variants were detected in CRC patients compared to healthy donors ( p < 0.001). Moreover, individuals with homozygous mutant alleles of either TLR or VDR polymorphisms had significantly higher detection rates of microbial DNA fragments. KRAS, BRAF and MSI status were significantly correlated with TLR9 genetic variants ( p= 0.001, p= 0.013 and p= 0.011, respectively) and MSI status was significantly correlated with all four VDR polymorphisms ( TaqI, p= 0.044; ApaI, p= 0.037; FokI, p= 0.002 and BsmI, p< 0.001). Cox regression analysis revealed that BRAF mutations, histology type and ApaI genetic variants are significantly associated with shorter disease-free survival (DFS). C. albicans detection is significantly associated with shorter overall survival, and B. fragilis is an independent poor prognostic factor for decreased DFS (HR = 33.85; p = 0.018). Conclusions: The detection of higher frequencies of the TLR/ VDR genetic variants was correlated with significantly higher detection rates of microbial DNA fragments. The detection of these TLR/VDR polymorphisms and microbial DNA fragments in CRC patients highlighted their role in cancer development, progression, and patients’ survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein truncating variants in ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, and PALB2 are associated with increased breast cancer risk, but risks associated with missense variants in these genes are uncertain. METHODS We analyzed data on 59,639 breast cancer cases and 53,165 controls from studies participating in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium BRIDGES project. We sampled training (80%) and validation (20%) sets to analyze rare missense variants in ATM (1146 training variants), BRCA1 (644), BRCA2 (1425), CHEK2 (325), and PALB2 (472). We evaluated breast cancer risks according to five in silico prediction-of-deleteriousness algorithms, functional protein domain, and frequency, using logistic regression models and also mixture models in which a subset of variants was assumed to be risk-associated. RESULTS The most predictive in silico algorithms were Helix (BRCA1, BRCA2 and CHEK2) and CADD (ATM). Increased risks appeared restricted to functional protein domains for ATM (FAT and PIK domains) and BRCA1 (RING and BRCT domains). For ATM, BRCA1, and BRCA2, data were compatible with small subsets (approximately 7%, 2%, and 0.6%, respectively) of rare missense variants giving similar risk to those of protein truncating variants in the same gene. For CHEK2, data were more consistent with a large fraction (approximately 60%) of rare missense variants giving a lower risk (OR 1.75, 95% CI (1.47-2.08)) than CHEK2 protein truncating variants. There was little evidence for an association with risk for missense variants in PALB2. The best fitting models were well calibrated in the validation set. CONCLUSIONS These results will inform risk prediction models and the selection of candidate variants for functional assays and could contribute to the clinical reporting of gene panel testing for breast cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Rare germline genetic variants in several genes are associated with increased breast cancer (BC) risk, but their precise contributions to different disease subtypes are unclear. This information is relevant to guidelines for gene panel testing and risk prediction. OBJECTIVE To characterize tumors associated with BC susceptibility genes in large-scale population- or hospital-based studies. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The multicenter, international case-control analysis of the BRIDGES study included 42 680 patients and 46 387 control participants, comprising women aged 18 to 79 years who were sampled independently of family history from 38 studies. Studies were conducted between 1991 and 2016. Sequencing and analysis took place between 2016 and 2021. EXPOSURES Protein-truncating variants and likely pathogenic missense variants in ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, and TP53. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The intrinsic-like BC subtypes as defined by estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and ERBB2 (formerly known as HER2) status, and tumor grade; morphology; size; stage; lymph node involvement; subtype-specific odds ratios (ORs) for carrying protein-truncating variants and pathogenic missense variants in the 9 BC susceptibility genes. RESULTS The mean (SD) ages at interview (control participants) and diagnosis (cases) were 55.1 (11.9) and 55.8 (10.6) years, respectively; all participants were of European or East Asian ethnicity. There was substantial heterogeneity in the distribution of intrinsic subtypes by gene. RAD51C, RAD51D, and BARD1 variants were associated mainly with triple-negative disease (OR, 6.19 [95% CI, 3.17-12.12]; OR, 6.19 [95% CI, 2.99-12.79]; and OR, 10.05 [95% CI, 5.27-19.19], respectively). CHEK2 variants were associated with all subtypes (with ORs ranging from 2.21-3.17) except for triple-negative disease. For ATM variants, the association was strongest for the hormone receptor (HR)+ERBB2- high-grade subtype (OR, 4.99; 95% CI, 3.68-6.76). BRCA1 was associated with increased risk of all subtypes, but the ORs varied widely, being highest for triple-negative disease (OR, 55.32; 95% CI, 40.51-75.55). BRCA2 and PALB2 variants were also associated with triple-negative disease. TP53 variants were most strongly associated with HR+ERBB2+ and HR-ERBB2+ subtypes. Tumors occurring in pathogenic variant carriers were of higher grade. For most genes and subtypes, a decline in ORs was observed with increasing age. Together, the 9 genes were associated with 27.3% of all triple-negative tumors in women 40 years or younger. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The results of this case-control study suggest that variants in the 9 BC risk genes differ substantially in their associated pathology but are generally associated with triple-negative and/or high-grade disease. Knowing the age and tumor subtype distributions associated with individual BC genes can potentially aid guidelines for gene panel testing, risk prediction, and variant classification and guide targeted screening strategies.

Abstract
Germline copy number variants (CNVs) are pervasive in the human genome but potential disease associations with rare CNVs have not been comprehensively assessed in large datasets. We analysed rare CNVs in genes and non-coding regions for 86,788 breast cancer cases and 76,122 controls of European ancestry with genome-wide array data. Gene burden tests detected the strongest association for deletions in BRCA1 (P = 3.7E-18). Nine other genes were associated with a p-value < 0.01 including known susceptibility genes CHEK2 (P = 0.0008), ATM (P = 0.002) and BRCA2 (P = 0.008). Outside the known genes we detected associations with p-values < 0.001 for either overall or subtype-specific breast cancer at nine deletion regions and four duplication regions. Three of the deletion regions were in established common susceptibility loci. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first genome-wide analysis of rare CNVs in a large breast cancer case-control dataset. We detected associations with exonic deletions in established breast cancer susceptibility genes. We also detected suggestive associations with non-coding CNVs in known and novel loci with large effects sizes. Larger sample sizes will be required to reach robust levels of statistical significance.

Abstract
New treatment modalities have been recently introduced in the management of ovarian cancer (OC). Herein, we sought to investigate their implementation in routine clinical practice and examine the real-world management of OC in Greece. EpOCa was a non-interventional, multicenter, retrospective study in patients with advanced epithelial OC. The primary outcome was to estimate the proportions of the different treatment regimens used per line of therapy, while progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were the key secondary endpoints. A total of 154 patients were enrolled in the study, among whom, 40% were tested for BRCA mutations and 30% were found to be positive. Nearly 90% of patients underwent debulking surgery at diagnosis, with few operations being also recorded upon relapse. Platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) was predominantly used in the first line with half of patients also receiving angiogenesis inhibitor (AI), while non-platinum-based CT was preferred in later lines. The median PFS was 18.2 and 8.8 months in the first- and second-line setting, respectively, whereas the median OS was approximately 50 months. Our study adds to the available, but limited, real world data on the management of ovarian cancer providing evidence regarding the applied treatment strategies and outcomes of patients in Greece.

Abstract
Introduction Disease recurrence is a major concern in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa) following treatment with radiotherapy (RT), and few studies have evaluated the clinical relevance of microRNAs (miRNAs) prior and post-RT. Purpose We aimed to investigate the significance of miRNAs in the outcomes of prostate cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy and to identify the related pathways through bioinformatics analysis. Materials and Methods The expression levels of miR-21, miR-106b, miR-141 and miR-375 involved in the response to radiotherapy were assessed by RT-qPCR in the serum of PCa patients (n=56) prior- and post-RT. Results Low expression levels of miR-106b prior-RT were associated with extracapsular extension and seminal vesicles invasion by the tumor (p=0.031 and 0.044, respectively). In the high-risk subgroup (n=47), post-RT expression levels of miR-21 were higher in patients with biochemical relapse (BR) compared to non-relapse (p=0.043). Also, in the salvage treatment subgroup (post-operative BR; n=20), post-RT expression levels of miR-21 and miR-106b were higher in patients with BR compared to non-relapse (p=0.043 and p=0.032, respectively). In the whole group of patients, high expression levels of miR-21 prior-RT and of miR-106b post-RT were associated with significantly shorter overall survival (OS; p=0.049 and p=0.050, respectively). No associations were observed among miR-141 and miR-375 expression levels with clinicopathological features or treatment outcome. Bioinformatics analysis revealed significant enrichment in DNA damage response pathways. Conclusion Circulating miRNAs prior or post-RT may hold prognostic implications in patients with PCa.

Abstract
A tumor-to-tumor metastasis inside a meningioma is a rare phenomenon. Malignant neoplasms of the breast and lung are the most common primary tumors. Other sites of origin include prostate, renal and gastric neoplasms. The included case files were retrieved from the medical records of the University Hospital of Crete, Greece. A review of the literature was conducted in March 2020 via PubMed. Relevant search results were few. We report a case of a 66-year-old female, with known Small Cell Lung Cancer, who presented with left-sided hemiparesis. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan revealed a right frontal extra-axial mass. The patient underwent a craniotomy and a gross total removal of the tumor. Histological examination of the excised mass revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma deposits inside a meningioma: tumor-to-tumor metastasis. Reviewing the available literature, it has been hypothesized that the following factors play a role in the pathophysiology of this phenomenon: progesterone and estrogen receptors, cell-to-cell adhesion molecules, rich vascularization, favorable metabolic, micro-and immunological environment. Meningiomas seem to be the most common type of intracranial neoplasm to host a metastasis. There is a difference between tumor-to-tumor metastasis and collision tumors. The former implies a recipient role of the host tumor, and the latter refers to a co-localization of two different tumors that grow into one another, both being in the same organ. Tumor-to-tumor brain metastasis is a well-described phenomenon but with unclear pathophysiology. Deeper knowledge could be beneficial for its management.

Abstract
Breast cancer metastasis accounts for most of the deaths from breast cancer. Identification of germline variants associated with survival in aggressive types of breast cancer may inform understanding of breast cancer progression and assist treatment. In this analysis, we studied the associations between germline variants and breast cancer survival for patients with distant metastases at primary breast cancer diagnosis. We used data from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) including 1062 women of European ancestry with metastatic breast cancer, 606 of whom died of breast cancer. We identified two germline variants on chromosome 1, rs138569520 and rs146023652, significantly associated with breast cancer-specific survival (P = 3.19 × 10-8 and 4.42 × 10-8). In silico analysis suggested a potential regulatory effect of the variants on the nearby target genes SDE2 and H3F3A. However, the variants showed no evidence of association in a smaller replication dataset. The validation dataset was obtained from the SNPs to Risk of Metastasis (StoRM) study and included 293 patients with metastatic primary breast cancer at diagnosis. Ultimately, larger replication studies are needed to confirm the identified associations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite a modest association between tobacco smoking and breast cancer risk reported by recent epidemiological studies, it is still equivocal whether smoking is causally related to breast cancer risk. METHODS We applied Mendelian randomisation (MR) to evaluate a potential causal effect of cigarette smoking on breast cancer risk. Both individual-level data as well as summary statistics for 164 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reported in genome-wide association studies of lifetime smoking index (LSI) or cigarette per day (CPD) were used to obtain MR effect estimates. Data from 108,420 invasive breast cancer cases and 87,681 controls were used for the LSI analysis and for the CPD analysis conducted among ever-smokers from 26,147 cancer cases and 26,072 controls. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to address pleiotropy. RESULTS Genetically predicted LSI was associated with increased breast cancer risk (OR 1.18 per SD, 95% CI: 1.07-1.30, P = 0.11 × 10-2), but there was no evidence of association for genetically predicted CPD (OR 1.02, 95% CI: 0.78-1.19, P = 0.85). The sensitivity analyses yielded similar results and showed no strong evidence of pleiotropic effect. CONCLUSION Our MR study provides supportive evidence for a potential causal association with breast cancer risk for lifetime smoking exposure but not cigarettes per day among smokers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the high heterogeneity among breast tumors, associations between common germline genetic variants and survival that may exist within specific subgroups could go undetected in an unstratified set of breast cancer patients. METHODS We performed genome-wide association analyses within 15 subgroups of breast cancer patients based on prognostic factors, including hormone receptors, tumor grade, age, and type of systemic treatment. Analyses were based on 91,686 female patients of European ancestry from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium, including 7531 breast cancer-specific deaths over a median follow-up of 8.1 years. Cox regression was used to assess associations of common germline variants with 15-year and 5-year breast cancer-specific survival. We assessed the probability of these associations being true positives via the Bayesian false discovery probability (BFDP < 0.15). RESULTS Evidence of associations with breast cancer-specific survival was observed in three patient subgroups, with variant rs5934618 in patients with grade 3 tumors (15-year-hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] 1.32 [1.20, 1.45], P = 1.4E-08, BFDP = 0.01, per G allele); variant rs4679741 in patients with ER-positive tumors treated with endocrine therapy (15-year-HR [95% CI] 1.18 [1.11, 1.26], P = 1.6E-07, BFDP = 0.09, per G allele); variants rs1106333 (15-year-HR [95% CI] 1.68 [1.39,2.03], P = 5.6E-08, BFDP = 0.12, per A allele) and rs78754389 (5-year-HR [95% CI] 1.79 [1.46,2.20], P = 1.7E-08, BFDP = 0.07, per A allele), in patients with ER-negative tumors treated with chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS We found evidence of four loci associated with breast cancer-specific survival within three patient subgroups. There was limited evidence for the existence of associations in other patient subgroups. However, the power for many subgroups is limited due to the low number of events. Even so, our results suggest that the impact of common germline genetic variants on breast cancer-specific survival might be limited.

Abstract
Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of the crosstalk between tumor cells and immune response. In the present study, miRNAs (let-7c, miR-26a, miR-30d, miR-98, miR-195, miR-202) reported to be involved in the polarization of macrophages were examined for associations with the outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (N = 125) treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. RT-qPCR was used to analyze miRNA expression levels in the plasma of patients prior to treatment. In our results, disease progression was correlated with high miR-202 expression (HR: 2.335; p = 0.040). Additionally, high miR-202 expression was characterized as an independent prognostic factor for shorter progression-free survival (PFS, HR: 1.564; p = 0.021) and overall survival (OS, HR: 1.558; p = 0.024). Moreover, high miR-202 independently predicted shorter OS (HR: 1.989; p = 0.008) in the non-squamous (non-SqCC) subgroup, and high miR-26a was correlated with shorter OS in the squamous (SqCC) subgroup (10.07 vs. 13.53 months, p = 0.033). The results of the present study propose that the expression levels of circulating miRNAs involved in macrophage polarization are correlated with survival measures in NSCLC patients, and their role as potential biomarkers merits further investigation.
