Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare cancers which often carry significant morbidity and mortality, frequently related to burden of liver metastases. Hyperammonaemia and subsequent hepatic encephalopathy carries a poor prognosis and has been described in these patients. We discuss a case of a woman in her 50s with hyperammonaemic encephalopathy and a new diagnosis of pancreatic NET with hepatic metastases. She presented with a reduced conscious state a few days post commencing chemotherapy. This was considered to have a multifactorial pathophysiology: the primary driver being large volume hepatic metastases and contributed by portosystemic microshunting, sepsis, severe weight loss and malnutrition. We describe how each of these exacerbating factors was addressed and highlight the effective multimodal treatment approach consisting of sequential transarterial chemoembolisation followed by peptide receptor radio nucleotide therapy, resulting in the resolution of hyperammonaemic encephalopathy and radiological partial metabolic response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been identified to improve unfavorable survival outcomes among patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), several randomized controlled trials have not demonstrated a difference in oncological outcomes/overall survival (OS) among patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) versus open gastrectomy. This study aimed to investigate National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline adherence and textbook oncological outcome (TOO) among patients undergoing MIS versus open surgery for LAGC. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, patients with stage II/III LAGC (cT2-T4N0-3M0) who underwent curative-intent treatment between 2013 and 2019 were evaluated using the National Cancer Database. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess the association between surgical approach, NCCN guideline adherence, TOO, and OS. The study was registered on the International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number registry (registration number: ISRCTN53410429) and conducted according to the Strengthening The Reporting Of Cohort Studies in Surgery and Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. RESULTS Among 13,885 patients, median age at diagnosis was 68 years (IQR, 59-76); most patients were male (n = 9887, 71.2%) and identified as White (n = 10,295, 74.1%). Patients who underwent MIS (n = 4692, 33.8%) had improved NCCN guideline adherence and TOO compared with patients who underwent open surgery (51.3% vs 43.5% and 36.7% vs 27.3%, respectively; both P < .001). Adherence to NCCN guidelines and likelihood to achieve TOO increased from 2013 to 2019 (35.6% vs 50.9% and 31.4% vs 46.4%, respectively; both P < .001). Moreover, improved median OS was observed among patients with NCCN guideline adherence and TOO undergoing MIS versus open surgery (57.3 vs 49.8 months [P = .041] and 68.4 vs 60.6 months [P = .025], respectively). CONCLUSIONS An overall increase in guideline-adherent treatment and achievement of TOO among patients with LAGC undergoing multimodal and curative-intent treatment in the United States was observed. Adoption of minimally invasive gastrectomy may result in improved short- and long-term outcomes.

Does the Clinical Presentation of Secondary Osteosarcoma in Patients Who Survive Retinoblastoma Differ From That of Conventional Osteosarcoma and How Do We Detect Them? Clin Orthop Relat Res 2023; 481:2154-2163.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma is the most common secondary malignancy among survivors of retinoblastoma. Most previous reports on secondary malignancy of retinoblastoma included all types of secondary malignancies without a focus on osteosarcoma, owing to its rarity. In addition, there are few studies suggesting tools for regular surveillance for early detection. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) What are the radiologic and clinical characteristics of secondary osteosarcoma after retinoblastoma? (2) What is the clinical survivorship? (3) Is a radionuclide bone scan a reasonable imaging modality for early detection in patients with retinoblastoma? METHODS Between February 2000 and December 2019, we treated 540 patients for retinoblastoma. Twelve patients (six male, six female) subsequently developed an osteosarcoma in the extremities; two of these patients had two sites of osteosarcoma (10 femurs, four tibiae) . A Technetium-99m bone scan image was examined annually in all patients for regular surveillance after the treatment of retinoblastoma as per our hospital's policy. All patients were treated with the same strategy as that used for primary conventional osteosarcoma, namely neoadjuvant chemotherapy, wide excision, and adjuvant chemotherapy. The median follow-up period was 12 years (range 8 to 21 years). The median age at the time of diagnosis of osteosarcoma was 9 years (range 5 to 15 years), and the median interval from retinoblastoma diagnosis to osteosarcoma diagnosis was 8 years (range 5 to 15 years). Radiologic characteristics were assessed with plain radiographs and MRI, while clinical characteristics were assessed through a retrospective review of medical records. For clinical survivorship, we evaluated overall survival, local recurrence-free survival, and metastasis-free survival. We reviewed the results of bone scans and clinical symptoms at the time of diagnosis for osteosarcoma after retinoblastoma. RESULTS In nine of 14 patients, the tumor had a diaphyseal center, and five of the tumors were located at the metaphysis. The femur was the most common site (n = 10), followed by the tibia (n = 4). The median tumor size was 9 cm (range 5 to 13 cm). There was no local recurrence after surgical resection of the osteosarcoma, and the 5-year overall survival rate after the diagnosis of osteosarcoma was 86% (95% CI 68% to 100%). In all 14 tumors, the Technetium bone scan showed increased uptake in the lesions. Ten of 14 tumors were examined in clinic because of patient complaints of pain in the affected limb. Four patients showed no clinical symptoms detected by abnormal uptake on bone scan. CONCLUSION For unclear reasons, secondary osteosarcomas in patients who were alive after the treatment of retinoblastoma had a slight predilection for the diaphysis of the long bone compared with patients with spontaneous osteosarcoma in other reports. The clinical survivorship of osteosarcoma as a secondary malignancy after retinoblastoma may not be inferior to that of conventional osteosarcoma. Close follow-up with at least yearly clinical assessment and bone scans or other imaging modalities appears to be helpful in detecting secondary osteosarcoma after the treatment of patients with retinoblastoma. Larger multi-institutional studies will be needed to substantiate these observations.Level of Evidenc e Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) often presents with synchronous nodules of the lung (sNL), which may be benign nodules, second primary malignancies or metastases of HNSCC. We sought to gain an insight into the incidence of sNL and synchronous second primary of the lung (sSPML) in HNSCC patients and current opinions on useful diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed database for articles that reported the simultaneous detection of HNSCC and sNL/sPML, within the timeframe of diagnosis and staging. Only studies involving humans were included, without restrictions for sex, age, ethnicity, or smoking history. All articles were categorised according to the Oxford Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine levels and their data collected. Data from 24 studies were analysed. Amongst HNSCC, the mean overall incidence rate of sNL and sSPML was 11.4% (range: 1.3-27%) and 2.95% (range: 0.4-7.4%), respectively. The possibility of a sNL to be a sSPML cannot be ignored (mean: 35.2%). Studies investigating smoking habits showed that the majority (98-100%) of HNSCC patients with sSPML were previous or active smokers. Detection of human papillomavirus through DNA analysis, p16 immunohistochemistry, and identification of clonal evolution were useful in differentiating metastasis from sSPML. 18FDG-PET scan was the most reliable method to diagnose sSPML (sensitivity: 95%; specificity: 96%; positive predictive value: 80%). With early sSPML detection and curative treatment, the 5-year overall survival rate is 34-47%. However, the proposed advantage of early detection warrants further evidence-based justification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is no consensus on the optimal duration of post-treatment follow-up after head and neck cancer (HNC). To generate site-specific input for follow-up guidelines, this study describes the incidence and timing of manifestations of disease during five years of follow-up. METHODS All patients diagnosed with HNC in the Netherlands in 2015 were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. The follow-up events local recurrence (LR), regional recurrence (RR), second primary tumour (SPT), distant metastasis (DM) and death were studied per follow-up-year. The cumulative incidence of these events was calculated using competing risk analyses, with LR, RR and SPT of the head and neck (SPHNC) as events and SPT outside the head-neck (SPOHN), DM and death as competing events. Analyses were performed for oral cavity-, oropharynx-, larynx- and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and all HNC patients. RESULTS The 1-, 1.5-, and 2-year cumulative incidence of an event (LR, RR, SPHNC) were 10% (95%CI 8-13), 12% (95%CI 10-15), and 13% (95%CI 10-16) for oral cavity SCC; 6% (95%CI 4-9), 10% (95%CI 7-14), and 11% (95%CI 8-15) for oropharynx SCC; 7% (95%CI 5-10), 11% (95%CI 9-15), and 13% (95%CI 10-16) for larynx SCC and 11% (95%CI 6-19), 19% (95%CI 12-27), and 19% (95%CI 12-27) for hypopharynx SCC. CONCLUSIONS One year of follow-up for oral cavity SCC, and 1.5 years for oropharynx-, larynx-, and hypopharynx SCC suffices for the goal of detecting disease manifestations after treatment. More research into other aspects of follow-up care should be performed to determine the optimal follow-up regimen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In women with previously treated breast cancer, occurrence and timing of second breast cancers have implications for surveillance. The authors examined the timing of second breast cancers by primary cancer estrogen receptor (ER) status in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium. METHODS Women who were diagnosed with American Joint Commission on Cancer stage I-III breast cancer were identified within six Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium registries from 2000 to 2017. Characteristics collected at primary breast cancer diagnosis included demographics, ER status, and treatment. Second breast cancer events included subsequent ipsilateral or contralateral breast cancers diagnosed >6 months after primary diagnosis. The authors examined cumulative incidence and second breast cancer rates by primary cancer ER status during 1-5 versus 6-10 years after diagnosis. RESULTS At 10 years, the cumulative second breast cancer incidence was 11.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 10.7%-13.1%) for women with ER-negative disease and 7.5% (95% CI, 7.0%-8.0%) for those with ER-positive disease. Women with ER-negative cancer had higher second breast cancer rates than those with ER-positive cancer during the first 5 years of follow-up (16.0 per 1000 person-years [PY]; 95% CI, 14.2-17.9 per 1000 PY; vs. 7.8 per 1000 PY; 95% CI, 7.3-8.4 per 1000 PY, respectively). After 5 years, second breast cancer rates were similar for women with ER-negative versus ER-positive breast cancer (12.1 per 1000 PY; 95% CI, 9.9-14.7; vs. 9.3 per 1000 PY; 95% CI, 8.4-10.3 per 1000 PY, respectively). CONCLUSIONS ER-negative primary breast cancers are associated with a higher risk of second breast cancers than ER-positive cancers during the first 5 years after diagnosis. Further study is needed to examine the potential benefit of more intensive surveillance targeting these women in the early postdiagnosis period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of multiple malignant primary tumors (MMPT) is increasing which needs attention. Hence, we undertook this study to analyze clinico-demographic details and treatment outcomes in patients with non-head and neck MMPT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hospital case records of patients with histopathology proven MMPT registered in the radiation oncology department from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2020 were retrospectively studied. Modified Warren-Gates criteria were used to define MMPT. Patients with MMPT of the head and neck (both an index and second primary as head-neck) were excluded from the study. Demographic and clinical details were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Forty-two eligible cases of non-head and neck MMPT were studied. The median age at diagnosis of an index case was 55 years (minimum 21, maximum 85) with a male to a female sex ratio of 5:37. Twelve patients had synchronous (28.57%) and 30 had metachronous (71.42%) MMPT. The average period between metachronous tumors was 77.77 months (minimum 12, maximum 312). The most common site of an index and second primary tumor was the breast (26; 61.90% and 23; 54.76%, respectively). Seventeen (65.38%) out of 26 index breast cancer were bilateral breast cancer and nine were others. In six cases of MMPT, there was an association between the breast and cervix. CONCLUSION Breast cancer was the most common site for both an index and second primary malignancy followed by genital cancers. With cautious monitoring and patient education, second primary tumor could be detected earlier and managed better giving a good quality of life to patients.

Abstract
Patients with metastatic cancer refractory to standard systemic therapies have a poor prognosis and few therapeutic options. Radiotherapy can shape the tumor microenvironment (TME) by inducing immunogenic cell death and promoting tumor recognition by natural killer cells and T lymphocytes. Granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was known to promote dendric cell maturation and function, and might also induce the macrophage polarization with anti-tumor capabilities. A phase II trial (ChiCTR1900026175) was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of radiotherapy, PD-1 inhibitor and GM-CSF (PRaG regimen). This trial was registered at http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx. A PRaG cycle consisted of 3 fractions of 5 or 8 Gy delivered for one metastatic lesion from day 1, followed by 200 μg subcutaneous injection of GM-CSF once daily for 2 weeks, and intravenous infusion of PD-1 inhibitor once within one week after completion of radiotherapy. The PRaG regimen was repeated every 21 days for at least two cycles. Once the PRaG therapy was completed, the patient continued PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy until confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). A total of 54 patients were enrolled with a median follow-up time of 16.4 months. The ORR was 16.7%, and the disease control rate was 46.3% in intent-to-treat patients. Median progression-free survival was 4.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.3 to 4.8), and median overall survival was 10.5 months (95% CI, 8.7 to 12.2). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in five patients (10.0%) and grade 4 in one patient (2.0%). Therefore, the PRaG regimen was well tolerated with acceptable toxicity and may represent a promising salvage treatment for patients with chemotherapy-refractory solid tumors. It is likely that PRaG acts via heating upthe TME with radiotherapy and GM-CSF, which was further boosted by PD-1 inhibitors.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Electronic systems that facilitate patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys for patients with cancer may detect symptoms early and prompt clinicians to intervene. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether electronic symptom monitoring during cancer treatment confers benefits on quality-of-life outcomes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Report of secondary outcomes from the PRO-TECT (Alliance AFT-39) cluster randomized trial in 52 US community oncology practices randomized to electronic symptom monitoring with PRO surveys or usual care. Between October 2017 and March 2020, 1191 adults being treated for metastatic cancer were enrolled, with last follow-up on May 17, 2021. INTERVENTIONS In the PRO group, participants (n = 593) were asked to complete weekly surveys via an internet-based or automated telephone system for up to 1 year. Severe or worsening symptoms triggered care team alerts. The control group (n = 598) received usual care. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The 3 prespecified secondary outcomes were physical function, symptom control, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at 3 months, measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30; range, 0-100 points; minimum clinically important difference [MCID], 2-7 for physical function; no MCID defined for symptom control or HRQOL). Results on the primary outcome, overall survival, are not yet available. RESULTS Among 52 practices, 1191 patients were included (mean age, 62.2 years; 694 [58.3%] women); 1066 (89.5%) completed 3-month follow-up. Compared with usual care, mean changes on the QLQ-C30 from baseline to 3 months were significantly improved in the PRO group for physical function (PRO, from 74.27 to 75.81 points; control, from 73.54 to 72.61 points; mean difference, 2.47 [95% CI, 0.41-4.53]; P = .02), symptom control (PRO, from 77.67 to 80.03 points; control, from 76.75 to 76.55 points; mean difference, 2.56 [95% CI, 0.95-4.17]; P = .002), and HRQOL (PRO, from 78.11 to 80.03 points; control, from 77.00 to 76.50 points; mean difference, 2.43 [95% CI, 0.90-3.96]; P = .002). Patients in the PRO group had significantly greater odds of experiencing clinically meaningful benefits vs usual care for physical function (7.7% more with improvements of ≥5 points and 6.1% fewer with worsening of ≥5 points; odds ratio [OR], 1.35 [95% CI, 1.08-1.70]; P = .009), symptom control (8.6% and 7.5%, respectively; OR, 1.50 [95% CI, 1.15-1.95]; P = .003), and HRQOL (8.5% and 4.9%, respectively; OR, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.10-1.81]; P = .006). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this report of secondary outcomes from a randomized clinical trial of adults receiving cancer treatment, use of weekly electronic PRO surveys to monitor symptoms, compared with usual care, resulted in statistically significant improvements in physical function, symptom control, and HRQOL at 3 months, with mean improvements of approximately 2.5 points on a 0- to 100-point scale. These findings should be interpreted provisionally pending results of the primary outcome of overall survival. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03249090.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treated secondary acute myeloid leukemia (ts-AML)-i.e., AML arising from a previously treated antecedent hematologic disorder-is associated with very poor outcomes. The optimal frontline treatment regimen for these patients is uncertain. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 562 patients who developed AML from preceding myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia for which they had received a hypomethylating agent (HMA). Patients with ts-AML were stratified by frontline AML treatment with intensive chemotherapy (IC, n = 271), low-intensity therapy (LIT) without venetoclax (n = 237), or HMA plus venetoclax (n = 54). RESULTS Compared with IC or LIT without venetoclax, HMA plus venetoclax resulted in higher CR/CRi rates (39% and 25%, respectively; P = 0.02) and superior OS (1-year OS 34% and 17%, respectively; P = 0.05). The benefit of HMA plus venetoclax was restricted to patients with non-adverse risk karyotype, where HMA plus venetoclax resulted in a median OS of 13.7 months and 1-year OS rate of 54%; in contrast, for patients with adverse risk karyotype, OS was similarly dismal regardless of treatment approach (median OS 3-5 months). A propensity score analysis accounting for relevant clinical variables confirmed the significant OS benefit of HMA plus venetoclax, as compared with other frontline treatment approaches. In a landmark analysis, patients with ts-AML who underwent subsequent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) had superior 3-year OS compared to non-transplanted patients (33% vs. 8%, respectively; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The outcomes of ts-AML are poor but may be improved with use of an HMA plus venetoclax-based regimen, followed by HSCT, particularly in those with a non-adverse risk karyotype.

Abstract
RATIONALE Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is effective in treating relapsed and refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, because of the mortality risk associated with immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome and pseudoprogression, patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement are less likely to receive CAR T-cell therapy. PATIENTS CONCERNS We report a case of a 61-year-old, male patient with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma who suffered a CNS relapse after standard chemotherapy. DIAGNOSIS A diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma with CNS involvement was made. INTERVENTIONS We treated the patient using CAR T-cell therapy following a conditioning regimen consisting of thiotepa and busulfan and autologous stem cell transplantation. Although he experienced grade 1 cytokine release syndrome, no other serious adverse events, such as immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome or pseudoprogression, were observed. OUTCOMES The patient achieved complete remission after the CAR T-cell infusion. LESSONS CAR T-cell therapy following autologous stem cell transplantation is a viable option for relapsed/refractory lymphoma with CNS infiltration. Further clinical studies are warranted to verify its safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Therapy related acute myeloid leukemia (tAML) and secondary AML after an antecedent hematologic disorder (sAML-AHD) are often addressed together, blurring any clinical and prognostic differences. Among 516 AML patients, we compared characteristics and outcomes of 149 patients with "sAML" (sAML-AHD: 104, tAML: 45), uniformly and intensively treated during the last 2 decades at 1 center. Clinical outcomes of the whole "sAML" cohort were significantly inferior compared to de novo AML and in both intermediate and poor cytogenetic risk groups. Adverse karyotype had no effect on survival in tAML, while it was a negative predictor in sAML-AHD. Both groups showed similarly dismal outcome, with low complete remission rates (CR 44% vs. 41%) and median overall survival (OS 7 vs. 10.5 months). Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) recipients in CR1 had superior median OS (24 vs. 8 months). By multivariate analysis, alloHCT was an independent predictor of outcome, while karyotype was for sAML-AHD only. In conclusion, both "sAML" groups have inferior outcomes after chemotherapy, with adverse karyotype affecting primarily sAML-AHD. Until new treatment approaches are available, only alloHCT offers a survival advantage.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of thymoma and T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia is an extremely rare but previously reported association that poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We describe a 67-year-old patient with long-standing untreated B1 thymoma that presented with constitutional symptoms and a painless soft tissue mass on the right chest wall. Pathological analysis of the biopsy from the mass demonstrated T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. The patient went through a complicated course, was refractory to several lines of therapy, and eventually underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in complete remission from a matched related donor. The association between thymoma and malignant neoplasms has been described in the literature, most notably with colorectal adenocarcinoma and thyroid cancer. Thymoma-associated leukemia is, however, extremely unusual, with limited reports in the literature. Distinguishing between thymoma and leukemia can be challenging and often requires meticulous diagnostic efforts. For patients with a past history of thymoma, awareness of this particular association should be bared in mind to allow earlier diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
RATIONALE Fibroadenoma (FA) is a common type of benign breast tumors but ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) rarely arises within this tumor type. PATIENT CONCERNS This case report presents a non-symptomatic 61-year-old woman with FA that was coincidentally found during a breast cancer screening program performed 5 years ago by her city of residence. She had subsequently been followed-up with mammography and breast ultrasound (US). US showed a slightly enlarged tumor and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated malignancy within the FA. DIAGNOSIS The pathological examination revealed low-grade DCIS within the FA. INTERVENTIONS The patient underwent a core needle biopsy followed by breast-conserving therapy with sentinel lymph node biopsy and then postoperative radiation therapy. OUTCOMES Currently, she has been followed-up for 2 years without no signs of recurrence. LESSONS Careful observation with US followed by dynamic MRI is essential in the early diagnosis of DCIS originating in a FA.

Abstract
To achieve a deeper understanding of patients who developed esophageal cancer (EC) as a second primary malignancy, which may help guide in clinical practice for these patients in the future.In the primary cohort, EC patients with a prior malignancy were identified from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end result 18 database. The 5 most common types of prior cancers were picked out based on the frequency of occurrence. In addition, Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were performed to investigate the survival impacts of prior cancers on EC patients. Besides, a competing-risk model was constructed to explore the relationship between EC-treatment and EC-specific mortality. In the secondary cohort, patients with stage I-III (N0M0) EC from 2004 to 2014 were enrolled. After propensity score matching, univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were developed to determine the prognostic factors for EC patients.A total of 1199 EC patients with a prior cancer were identified in the primary cohort. The 5 most common sites of prior cancers were prostate, female breast, bladder, lung and bronchus, and larynx. Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that EC patients with prior prostate cancer and bladder cancer had the best overall survival (OS), while those with prior cancers of larynx and lung and bronchus had the worst OS. Fine and Gray competing risks analysis indicated that the administration of surgery was closely associated with better EC-specific survival (P < .001). In the secondary cohort, multivariate Cox analyses found that age at diagnosis, race, tumor grade, tumor extent, nodal status and metastasis stage, histology, and the administration of surgery were prognostic factors for OS and cancer-specific survival in EC patients. Besides, the existence of a prior cancer was an independent prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival.EC remains to be the most important cause of death in EC patients with a prior cancer. EC related treatment should be actively adopted in patients with a prior cancer, as they were more likely to die from EC than the prior cancer. EC patients with a prior cancer had comparable OS than those without.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer survivors have a 14% increased risk of developing a malignancy compared with the general population. Second radiation-induced malignancies with different histologies have been described in different organs. Based on individual observations, we hypothesized that neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) could arise in irradiated organs. METHODS In a retrospective analysis of Gustave Roussy database of NEC patients (small cell lung cancer excluded) diagnosed as a second cancer, we looked for the frequency of grade 3 NEC that arose in patients who had received previous radiation therapy for a first cancer. Radiation therapy for the first cancer, dose, location of radiation therapy, pathological characteristics, overall survival, and response to treatment of secondary NEC were analyzed. RESULTS From January 1995 to December 2017, 847 cases of NEC were seen at Gustave Roussy. Among them, 95 (11.2%) patients had a history of previous malignancy of which 36 (4%) had been treated with radiation therapy. Out of these 36 patients, 12 (1.4% of all NEC patients) developed a NEC within the previous irradiated organ (median dose of 50 Gy, range 36-67.5). Most frequent first cancers were breast cancer (n = 4) and Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 3). NEC arose within a median time of 21.7 years (range 5.1-36.4) from radiation in the thorax (n = 5), digestive tract (n = 3), and other sites. Five large cell NEC, 3 small cell NEC, 1 mixed neuroendocrine neoplasm and 3 not otherwise specified NEC were diagnosed. Ten patients had stage IV disease at diagnosis; median overall survival was 37.8 months (95% CI [17.6 to NA]). Three patients (25%) achieved complete response with multimodal treatment. CONCLUSIONS NEC can arise from previously irradiated organs and may have a better outcome in this setting. Other risk factors should be investigated to explain the high rate of previous cancer in this population of neuroendocrine neoplasm.

Abstract
The authors' objective is to provide a brief update on recent advances in knowledge relating to subsequent primary neoplasms developing in survivors of childhood cancer. This includes a summary of established large-scale cohorts, risks reported, and contrasts with results from recently established large-scale cohorts of survivors of adolescent and young adult cancer. Recent evidence is summarized concerning the role of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for childhood cancer and survivor genomics in determining the risk of subsequent primary neoplasms. Progress with surveillance, screening, and clinical follow-up guidelines is addressed. Finally, priorities for future research are outlined.

Abstract
Previous research has shown that polygenic risk scores (PRSs) can be used to stratify women according to their risk of developing primary invasive breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the association between a recently validated PRS of 313 germline variants (PRS313) and contralateral breast cancer (CBC) risk. We included 56,068 women of European ancestry diagnosed with first invasive breast cancer from 1990 onward with follow-up from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. Metachronous CBC risk (N = 1,027) according to the distribution of PRS313 was quantified using Cox regression analyses. We assessed PRS313 interaction with age at first diagnosis, family history, morphology, ER status, PR status, and HER2 status, and (neo)adjuvant therapy. In studies of Asian women, with limited follow-up, CBC risk associated with PRS313 was assessed using logistic regression for 340 women with CBC compared with 12,133 women with unilateral breast cancer. Higher PRS313 was associated with increased CBC risk: hazard ratio per standard deviation (SD) = 1.25 (95%CI = 1.18-1.33) for Europeans, and an OR per SD = 1.15 (95%CI = 1.02-1.29) for Asians. The absolute lifetime risks of CBC, accounting for death as competing risk, were 12.4% for European women at the 10th percentile and 20.5% at the 90th percentile of PRS313. We found no evidence of confounding by or interaction with individual characteristics, characteristics of the primary tumor, or treatment. The C-index for the PRS313 alone was 0.563 (95%CI = 0.547-0.586). In conclusion, PRS313 is an independent factor associated with CBC risk and can be incorporated into CBC risk prediction models to help improve stratification and optimize surveillance and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Colorectal Peritoneal metastases (CPM) develop in 15% of colorectal cancers. Cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS & HIPEC) is the current standard of care in selected patients with limited resectable CPM. Despite selection using known prognostic factors survival is varied and morbidity and mortality are relatively high. There is a need to improve patient selection and a paucity of research concerning the biology of isolated CPM. We aimed to determine the biology associated with transition from primary CRC to CPM and of patients with CPM not responding to treatment with CRS & HIPEC, to identify those suitable for treatment with CRS & HIPEC and to identify targets for existing repurposed or novel treatment strategies. A cohort of patients with CPM treated with CRS & HIPEC was recruited and divided according to prognosis. Molecular profiling of the transcriptome (n = 25), epigenome (n = 24) and genome (n = 21) of CPM and matched primary CRC was performed. CPM were characterised by frequent Wnt/ β catenin negative regulator mutations, TET2 mutations, mismatch repair mutations and high tumour mutational burden. Here we show the molecular features associated with CPM development and associated with not responding to CRS & HIPEC. Potential applications include improving patient selection for treatment with CRS & HIPEC and in future research into novel and personalised treatments targeting the molecular features identified here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to verify the clinical efficacy and safety of the electrochemotherapy in melanoma metastases and in cases of rare non-melanoma tumors that were difficult to treat for the specific anatomical site or for patient comorbidities. PATIENTS AND METHODS We treated 68 patients (699 cutaneous nodules), 44 patients with metastatic melanomas and 24 patients with non-melanoma tumors, at the Melanoma & Skin Cancer Unit, Florence, Italy. RESULTS We obtained an objective response of 89.7% (88.6% in melanomas and 91.7% in non-melanoma tumors), complete response 54.4% and partial response 35.3%. CONCLUSION This study showed that electrochemotherapy is effective in the treatment of melanoma metastases and in rare types of non-melanoma tumors. In particular, we successfully treated rare tumors as angiosarcoma, pleomorphic sarcoma, myxofibrosarcoma, sarcoma di Kaposi, porocarcinoma, sebaceous carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, malignant blue nevus, undifferentiated epitheliomorphic cell neoplasia and metastases from thyroid carcinoma. No serious adverse events were observed.

Abstract
A subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) arises either from an antecedent myeloid malignancy (secondary AML, sAML) or as a complication of DNA-damaging therapy for other cancers (therapy-related myeloid neoplasm, t-MN). These secondary leukemias have unique biological and clinical features that distinguish them from de novo AML. Over the last decade, molecular techniques have unraveled the complex subclonal architecture of sAML and t-MN. In this review, we compare and contrast biological and clinical features of de novo AML with sAML and t-MN. We discuss the role of genetic mutations, including those involved in RNA splicing, epigenetic modification, tumor suppression, transcription regulation, and cell signaling, in the pathogenesis of secondary leukemia. We also discuss clonal hematopoiesis in otherwise healthy individuals, as well as in the context of another malignancy, and how it challenges the conventional notion of sAML/t-MN. We conclude by summarizing the current and emerging treatment strategies, including allogenic transplant, in these complex scenarios.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Breast cancer (BC) and lung cancer (LuC) are common malignancies. The survival of patients with metachronous second primary malignancy (MSPM) of BC and LuC after a first primary of BC and LuC remains unclear. METHODS Data of patients with BC and LuC, with or without MSPM of BC and LuC, who were diagnosed from 2000 to 2014, were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The baseline characteristics of the different groups were compared using chi-square tests. The survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. Survival analysis was also performed in other malignancies with data extracted from the SEER database using the same method. RESULTS Significant differences in most of the demographics and clinicopathological factors were found between the groups. Patients with LuC with an MSPM of BC (LuC2BC) exhibited better survival than those with LuC (P < 0.001), while patients with BC with an MSPM of LuC (BC2LuC) exhibited worse survival than those with BC (P < 0.001). A similar trend was found in other malignancies. Prostate cancer (PC) followed by thyroid cancer (TC) (PC2TC) and TC followed by PC (TC2PC) did not show an obvious survival trend against their index malignancy (IM). CONCLUSIONS MSPM benefits the IM prognosis if the survival rate of MSPM is better than that of the IM and vice versa. However, the situation is somewhat confusing when the survival differences between MSPM and IM are minimal.

The head and neck district represents one of the most frequent sites of cancer, and the percentage of metastases is very high in both loco-regional and distant areas. Prognosis refers to several factors: a) stage of disease; b) loco-regional relapses; c) distant metastasis. At diagnosis, distant metastases of head and neck cancers are present in about 10% of cases with an additional 20-30% developing metastases during the course of their disease. Diagnosis of distant metastases is associated with unfavorable prognosis, with a median survival of about 10 months. The aim of the present review is to provide an update on distant metastasis in head and neck oncology. Recent achievements in molecular profiling, interaction between neoplastic tissue and the tumor microenvironment, oligometastatic disease concepts, and the role of immunotherapy have all deeply changed the therapeutic approach and disease control. Firstly, we approach topics such as natural history, epidemiology of distant metastases and relevant pathological and radiological aspects. Focus is then placed on the most relevant clinical aspects; particular attention is reserved to tumours with distant metastasis and positive for EBV and HPV, and the oligometastatic concept. A substantial part of the review is dedicated to different therapeutic approaches. We highlight the role of immunotherapy and the potential effects of innovative technologies. Lastly, we present ethical and clinical perspectives related to frailty in oncological patients and emerging difficulties in sustainable socio-economical governance.

Abstract
Secondary sarcomas are a subset of sarcomas that occur in patients with prior cancer diagnoses and are associated with environmental or genetic factors. Although secondary sarcomas are rare in general, there are predisposing factors that can substantially increase this risk in certain populations. Herein, we review the environmental factors with the strongest association of sarcoma risk, including chemical exposure, certain viruses, cytotoxic and immunosuppressive agents, chronic edema, and radiation exposure. Additionally, the most common genetic disorders that carry a predisposition for sarcoma development will be discussed, including hereditary retinoblastoma (RB), Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and DICER1 syndrome. Although treatment does not generally differ for sporadic versus secondary sarcomas, awareness of the risk factors can alter therapeutic strategies to minimize risk, aid prompt diagnosis by increasing clinical suspicion, and allow for appropriate surveillance and genetic counseling for those patients with cancer predisposition syndromes.

Abstract
This retrospective single-center analysis studied the impact of the conditioning and the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis on outcome in unselected patients allografted for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) secondary to documented prior CMML. A total of 44 patients (median age 61 years) allografted between 2002 and 2019 in our institution were analyzed. Fifteen patients had secondary AML. The conditioning regimen was fractionated 6-8 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) in combination with fludarabine in 33 (75%) patients. Eleven patients (25%) received alkylator-based conditioning therapy without TBI. For GVHD prophylaxis, a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) backbone in combination with methotrexate (MTX) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was applied in 21 and 23 patients, respectively. All patients allografted from an unrelated donor (UD) received antithymocyte globuline. In univariate analysis of the entire cohort, TBI-based conditioning and MMF-containing immunosuppression were associated with improved leukemia-free survival (LFS, HR 0.16, P < 0.001 and HR 0.41, P = 0.030, respectively). After stratification according to conditioning and GVHD prophylaxis into four groups (TBI-MMF [n = 17], TBI-MTX [n = 16], alkylator-MMF [n = 6], alkylator-MTX [n = 5]), TBI-MMF was associated with improved overall survival (OS) and LFS (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Patient and disease characteristics did not differ between the groups. The associations of TBI-based conditioning and MMF with prolonged LFS were observed across the CMML (n = 29), secondary AML (n = 15), and UD allograft (n = 34) subgroups. In summary, our study suggests that allografting based on intermediate-dose TBI conditioning and MMF-containing GVHD prophylaxis is associated with increased disease control in CMML. Larger (registry-based) studies are warranted to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Metachronous neoplasms have rarely been reported in patients with neuroblastoma. This report presents the clinical case of a 23-month-old child who was diagnosed with an anaplastic medulloblastoma 5 months after completing treatment for stage IV neuroblastoma. The patient was treated with complete surgical resection and adjuvant chemoradiation followed by maintenance chemotherapy at an outside institution and came to our institution for further management. A pathologic diagnosis and review of both the suprarenal and posterior fossa masses were performed, as well as a genetic analysis of both cerebellar tumor tissue and blood using next-generation gene sequencing. At our institution, the patient was submitted to induction chemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation and remains free of disease 2 years after completion of treatment. Genetic analysis revealed multiple somatic copy number variations with most deleted genes located in 2q37, a region which harbors genes involved in epigenetic regulation and tumor suppression. A homozygous deletion was found in the TSC2 gene, which is a clinically actionable gene, and patients with activating deletions in TSC2 can potentially be eligible for basket clinical trials with mTOR inhibitors. Germline single nucleotide variants were also identified in multiple genes involved in cancer (ALK, FGFR3, FLT3/4, HNF1A, NCOR1, and NOTCH2/3), cancer predisposition (TP53, TSC1, and BRCA1/2), and genes involved in DNA repair (MSH6, PMS2, POLE, and ATM). Metachronous neoplasms are rare and challenging to treat, hence genetic analysis and referral are needed to exclude hereditary cause. DNA sequencing of the tumor and germline can help identify alterations that increase predisposition or can be used to guide treatment decisions on recurrence and when standard options fail.

Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to examine the presence and magnitude of US geographic variation in use rates of both recommended and high-cost imaging in young patients with early-stage breast cancer during the 18 month period after surgical treatment of their primary tumor. Methods: Using the Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Database, a descriptive analysis was conducted of geographic variation in annual rates of dedicated breast imaging and high-cost body imaging of 36,045 women aged 18 to 64 years treated with surgery for invasive unilateral breast cancer between 2010 and 2012. Multivariate hierarchical analysis examined the relationship between likelihood of imaging and patient characteristics, with metropolitan statistical area (MSA) serving as a random effect. Patient characteristics included age group, BRCA1/2 carrier status, family history of breast cancer, combination of breast surgery type and radiation therapy, drug therapy, and payer type. All MSAs in the United States were included, with areas outside MSAs within a given state aggregated into a single area for analytic purposes. Results: Descriptive analysis of rates of imaging use and intensity within MSA regions revealed wide geographic variation, irrespective of treatment cohort or age group. Increased probability of recommended postoperative dedicated breast imaging was primarily associated with age and treatment including both surgery and radiation therapy, followed by MSA region (odds ratio, 1.42). Increased probability of PET use-a high-cost imaging modality for which postoperative routine use is not recommended in the absence of specific clinical findings-was primarily associated with surgery type followed by MSA region (odds ratio, 1.82). Conclusions: In patients with breast cancer treated for low-risk disease, geography has effects on the rates of posttreatment imaging, suggesting that some patients are not receiving beneficial dedicated breast imaging, and high-cost nonbreast imaging may not be targeted to those groups most likely to benefit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers indefinitely comprise a distinct group of patients with breast cancer (BC), with their tumors displaying specific pathologic characteristics. Although these connections are known, they are not fully elucidated. We therefore sought to investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics and overall survival of Greek patients with BC carrying BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. PATIENTS AND METHODS Greek patients with BC diagnosed between 1999 and 2016, fulfilling the National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria for genetic testing, were analyzed for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations by Sanger sequencing or by a 94-gene panel. Medical records and pathology reports were retrospectively reviewed to retrieve patient and tumor baseline characteristics. Potential associations with mutation status were assessed using the Fisher exact, Pearson χ2, and Mann-Whitney tests. RESULTS Of 2096 selected patients with BC, we identified 297 (14.2%) BRCA1 and 88 (4.2%) BRCA2 carriers. The mean age at BC diagnosis was 40 and 42.6 years, respectively (P = .02). Tumor histologic subtypes in BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers were predominantly ductal (79%) followed by medullary (10%), and ductal (72%) followed by lobular (15%), respectively. A significantly higher percentage of BRCA2 tumors were human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive, compared with BRCA1 tumors (21.7% vs. 5.8%; P < .001). Second primary cancer diagnosis was more frequent in BRCA1 compared with BRCA2 mutation carriers (36.2% vs. 10.7%; P < .001), whereas there was no difference in 15-year overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-1.83; P = .804) between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS These data confirm established observations in the pathology of BRCA-related tumors and provide further insight on the association of rare histologic entities with mutations in these genes, which can be clinically beneficial.

Abstract
To expand our prior statewide analysis of care distribution for locally advanced cervical cancer in Virginia to include 2 more states and to develop a tool for predicting quality of care. Complete treatment was defined as receiving chemotherapy (CT), brachytherapy (BT), and external beam radiotherapy.State cancer registry databases yielded a three-state cohort of 3197 women diagnosed with locally advanced cervical cancer from 2000 to 2013. A logistic regression evaluated predictors for receipt of BT, CT, and high (2-3 modalities received) versus low (0-1 modalities received) quality care. A Cox proportional hazards models determined predictors of survival. Finally, a predictive model was developed and preliminarily validated using our cohort.Only 35.3% of the cohort received complete treatment and only 57.3% received BT. Significant predictors of lower odds of receiving high quality care varied by state but included: 66+ age at diagnosis as compared to 18 to 42, 42 to 53, or 53 to 66; cancer stage IVA as compared to IIIx, IIx, or IB2; public insurance with supplement as compared to private; treatment at a low volume facility; and closer distance quintiles to a high volume treatment center as compared to the furthest quintile. Significant predictors of worse survival varied by state but included: low quality score (0-1 modalities received); 2000 to 2004 or 2005 to 2009 year of diagnosis as compared to 2010 to 2013; 66+ age at diagnosis as compared to 18 to 42, 42 to 53, or 53 to 66; cancer stage IVA as compared to IIIx, IIx, or IB2; treatment at a low volume facility; and unmarried/unknown marital status as compared to married. Our treatment quality prediction tool included age, age, treatment at high volume facility, and cancer stage and demonstrated 78.2% sensitivity and a 62.9% specificity.Only 35.3% of patients received complete guidelines-concordant treatment. Additionally, in 2/3 states it appeared that BT usage may have decreased during the study period. Our predictive model may help identify patients/regions at risk of receiving low quality care to target interventions aimed at improving cervical cancer treatment quality and survival.

Abstract
Therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a rare complication with no curative option. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) may be considered for eligible patients and has been understudied in t-MDS. We report 47 consecutive patients with t-MDS after an ASCT who underwent allo-HSCT with a median age of 58 years (range, 30 to 71 years) at transplantation and a median follow-up of 22 months (range, 0.7 to 107). The median overall survival (OS) was 6.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 0 to 19 months). OS rates were 45% (29% to 60%) and 30% (15% to 45%) at 1 and 3 years after transplantation, respectively. On univariate analysis, prior therapy for t-MDS before allo-HSCT (P = .02) and mismatched donors (P = .004) were associated with poor OS. Three-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and relapse rates were 44% (25% to 63%) and 41% (22% to 61%), respectively. Mismatched donors (P < .001) were associated with higher NRM and a high-risk MDS (P = .008) with a higher relapse risk. On multivariate analysis, HLA mismatch was associated with higher NRM (hazard ratio, 6.21; 95% CI, 1.63 to 23.62; P = .007). In conclusion, our results suggest that one third of the patients who develop t-MDS after an ASCT for lymphoma are cured after an allo-HSCT. The use of mismatched donors with standard graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis should be avoided in such an indication for allo-HSCT. It will be worthwhile to see if the implementation of cyclophosphamide post-transplantation will improve the outcome with mismatched donors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Second primary malignancies (SPM) in the lung are not common in breast cancer (BC) patients. EGFR-mutant lung cancer (LC) is a separate molecular subset, and the co-existence of EGFR-mutant LC and BC has not been explored. We hypothesized that EGFR-mutant LC patients could have higher rates of primary BC than those with EGFR-wild type (WT). METHODS We collected data on clinical and molecular characteristics and outcomes of female patients with LC and a previous or simultaneous history of primary BC treated in our hospital from 2008 to 2014. RESULTS Data on treatment, follow-up, and EGFR mutation status were available for 356 patients. 17.7% (11/62) of patients with EGFR mutations had BC, compared to 1.02% (3/294) of EGFR-WT patients (p < 0.001). Both tumors were metachronous in 81.8%, with LC diagnosed 9 years after the diagnosis of BC. 5 of the 6 (83.3%) BC patients treated with radiotherapy developed LC in an area within the radiation field. No EGFR mutations were detected in BC tissue and no HER2 expression was detected in LC samples. CONCLUSION SPM in the lung and breast occur more frequently among EGFR-mutant compared to EGFR-WT LC patients. Radiotherapy for BC may increase the risk of developing primary LC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation is a treatment option for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). However, overall survival is comparable to chemotherapy alone and local progression occurs in nearly half of all patients, suggesting chemoradiation strategies should be optimised. SCALOP-2 is a randomised phase II trial testing the role of radiotherapy dose escalation and/or the addition of the radiosensitiser nelfinavir, following induction chemotherapy of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GEMABX). A safety run-in phase (stage 1) established the nelfinavir dose to administer with chemoradiation in the randomised phase (stage 2). METHODS Patients with locally advanced, inoperable, non-metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma receive three cycles of induction GEMABX chemotherapy prior to radiological assessment. Those with stable/responding disease are eligible for further trial treatment. In Stage 1, participants received one further cycle of GEMABX followed by capecitabine-chemoradiation with escalating doses of nelfinavir in a rolling-six design. Stage 2 aims to register 262 and randomise 170 patients with responding/stable disease to one of five arms: capecitabine with high- (arms C + D) or standard-dose (arms A + B) radiotherapy with (arms A + C) or without (arms B + D) nelfinavir, or three more cycles of GEMABX (arm E). Participants allocated to the chemoradiation arms receive another cycle of GEMABX before chemoradiation begins. Co-primary outcomes are 12-month overall survival (radiotherapy dose-escalation question) and progression-free survival (nelfinavir question). Secondary outcomes include toxicity, quality of life, disease response rate, resection rate, treatment compliance, and CA19-9 response. SCALOP-2 incorporates a detailed radiotherapy quality assurance programme. DISCUSSION SCALOP-2 aims to optimise chemoradiation in LAPC and incorporates a modern induction regimen.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was initially subdivided according to morphology (the French-American-British system), which proved helpful in pathologic categorization. Subsequently, clinical and genomic factors were found to correlate with response to chemotherapy and with overall survival. These included a history of antecedent hematologic disease, a history of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, the presence of various recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities, and, more recently, the presence of specific point mutations. This article reviews the biology and responses of one AML subgroup with consistent response and good outcomes following chemotherapy (core-binding factor leukemia), and two subgroups with persistently bad, and even ugly, outcomes (secondary AML and TP53-mutated AML).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiogenic angiosarcoma of the breast (RASB) is a rare late sequela of local irradiation of the breast or chest wall after breast cancer. The prognosis of women with RASB is poor and there is no standardized therapy for this type of malignancy. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 54 year old woman with RASB (poorly differentiated angiosarcoma of the left breast; pT1, pNX, M0, L0, V0) and a history of invasive-ductal cancer of the left breast (pT1b, G2, pN0, ER positive, PR positive, HER-2/neu negative) treated in July 2012 with breast-conserving surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy with 6 cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide, adjuvant irradiation of the left breast with 50 Gray, and adjuvant endocrine therapy with an aromatase inhibitor. In August 2016, a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed to remove a tumor of the left ovary, which was diagnosed as breast cancer recurrence. At the same time, a small, purple skin lesion of 1.2 cm in diameter was noted in the inner upper quadrant of the right breast. RASB was diagnosed by punch biopsy and the tumor was excised with clear margins. Imaging studies showed no evidence of further metastases. A systemic chemotherapy with 6 cycles of liposomal doxorubicin was initiated. Five months later, a local recurrence of RASB was diagnosed and mastectomy was performed. Six months later, the patient is alive with no evidence of disease. Three hundred seven cases of RASB were identified. The pooled incidence rate of RASB was 1/3754 women. The most common treatment of RASB was mastectomy in 83% of cases. Adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy were rarely used with 6 and 4%, respectively, whereas in case of recurrence, chemotherapy was the mainstay of treatment, used in 58% of cases. Radiotherapy and repeated surgery were also common with 30 and 33% of cases, respectively. Overall, the prognosis of women with RASB was poor and the recurrence-free survival was short with a mean of 15.9 months. Mean overall survival was 27.4 months. CONCLUSION RASB is a rare late complication of breast irradiation. The prognosis of women with RASB is poor. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for localized disease while systemic chemotherapy and re-irradiation are appropriate for women with disseminated or recurrent RASB.

Abstract
Askin tumor, or malignant small round cell tumor of the thoracopulmonary region, is an extremely infrequent entity occurring primarily in children and adolescents. Its histopathologic and cytogenetic features suggest that it belongs to the family of Ewing's sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors. We report the case of a 43-year-old woman affected by an Askin tumor with bone metastases at diagnosis, presenting synchronously with a plasmacytoma. This is the first reported case of the simultaneous occurrence of an Askin tumor and a malignant hemopathy. The progression of the former and the remission of the plasmacytoma during chemotherapy were remarkable, since Askin tumor treatment shares drugs used for the treatment of plasma cell tumors. Given the infrequent presentation of these diseases in a young adult and the coexistence of two neoplasias characterized by typical chromosomal abnormalities, we consider the possibility of a genetic cancer susceptibility in our patient.

Abstract
We report the case of a 17 years old female with a Ewing's sarcoma of the left femur treated with limb sparing surgery followed by local radiotherapy of 45 Gy and adjuvant chemotherapy with vincristine, doxorubicine, cyclophosphamide, actinomycin D. The patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for osteosarcoma and a left femur resection with endoprosthesis replacement. The patient is alive and free of disease 4 years after the treatment of this second malignant neoplasm (SMN). This case shows that radioinduced SMN can occurr with relatively low doses of RT («50Gy) and that it may occurr very late.

Abstract
Background: Because of screening mammography, the number of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) survivors has increased dramatically. DCIS survivors may face excess risk of second breast events (SBEs). However, little is known about SBE treatment or its relationship to initial DCIS care. Methods: Among a prospective cohort of women who underwent breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for DCIS from 1997 to 2008 at institutions participating in the NCCN Outcomes Database, we identified SBEs, described patterns of care for SBEs, and examined the association between DCIS treatment choice and SBE care. Using multivariable regression, we identified features associated with use of mastectomy, radiation therapy (RT), or antiestrogen therapy (AET) for SBEs. Results: Of 2,939 women who underwent BCS for DCIS, 83% received RT and 40% received AET. During the median follow-up of 4.2 years, 200 women (6.8%) developed an SBE (55% ipsilateral, 45% invasive). SBEs occurred in 6% of women who underwent RT for their initial DCIS versus 11% who did not. Local treatment for these events included BCS (10%), BCS/RT (30%), mastectomy (53%), or none (6%); only 28% of patients received AET. Independent predictors of RT or mastectomy for SBEs included younger age, shorter time to SBE diagnosis, and RT or AET for the initial DCIS. Conclusions: A sizable proportion of patients with SBEs were treated with mastectomy, most especially those who previously received RT for their initial DCIS and those who developed an ipsilateral SBE. Despite the occurrence of an SBE, relatively few patients received AET. Future studies should investigate optimal treatment approaches for SBEs, including the benefit of mastectomy versus lumpectomy for an ipsilateral SBE and the benefit of AET for a hormone-receptor-positive SBE contingent on AET use for the initial DCIS diagnosis.

Abstract
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rare hematologic disorder characterized by defective myelopoiesis and a high incidence of malignant transformation to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). SCN patients who develop MDS/AML have excessive toxicities to traditional chemotherapy, and safer therapies are needed to improve overall survival in this population. In this report, we outline the use of a prospective integrative clinical sequencing trial (PEDS-MIONCOSEQ) in a patient with SCN and AML to help identify oncogenic targets for less toxic agents. Integrative sequencing identified two somatic cis-mutations in the colony stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) gene, a p.T640N mutation in the transmembrane region and a p.Q768* truncation mutation in the cytoplasmic domain. A somatic mutation p.H105Y, in the runt homology domain (RHD) of runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1), was also identified. In addition, sequencing discovered a unique in-frame EIF4A2-MECOM (MDS1 and ectopic viral integration site 1 complex) chromosomal translocation with high MECOM expression. His mutations in CSF3R served as potential targets for tyrosine kinase inhibition and therefore provided an avenue to avoid more harmful therapy. This study highlights the utility of integrative clinical sequencing in SCN patients who develop leukemia and outlines a strategy on how to approach these patients in a future clinical sequencing trial to improve historically poor outcomes. A thorough review of leukemia in SCN and the role of CSF3R mutations in oncologic therapy are provided to support a new strategy on how to approach MDS/AML in SCN.

Abstract
We report a unique case of optic nerve lymphoma after completion of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The uncommon nature of presentation, our therapeutic dilemma and the further course of treatment are reported. In cases with extremely poor prognosis, unnecessary treatment puts additional strain both financially and psychologically on the patients and their family. Therapeutic focus should be on hospice care and family counselling. The decision to not treat is a crucial component of cancer management; however, the ethics of this decision are yet to be suitably addressed by the literature.

Abstract
Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumor among males 15 to 34 years of age, with an estimated 8,850 new cases and 410 deaths during 2017 in the United States. With effective treatment, the overall five-year survival rate is 97%. Risk factors for testicular cancer include undescended testis (cryptorchidism), personal or family history of testicular cancer, age, ethnicity, and infertility. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends against routine screening in asymptomatic men. Men with symptoms should receive a complete history and physical examination. Scrotal ultrasonography is the preferred initial imaging study. If a solid intratesticular mass is discovered, orchiectomy is both diagnostic and therapeutic. Staging through chest radiography, chemistry panel, liver function tests, and tumor markers guides treatment. Active surveillance, chemotherapy, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and radiation therapy are treatment options following orchiectomy. For patients desiring future fertility, sperm banking should be discussed early in the course of treatment. Family physicians often play a role in the care of cancer survivors and should be familiar with monitoring for recurrence and future complications, including secondary malignant neoplasms, cardiovascular risk, and infertility and subfertility.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To analyze the impact of systematic second-look surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) performed 1 year after resection of the primary tumor, in asymptomatic patients at high risk of developing peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). METHODS Between 2012-2016, 33 patients without any sign of peritoneal recurrence on imaging studies were prospectively included in the study and underwent second-look surgery aimed at treating limited PC earlier and were prospectively recorded. They were selected based on 5 primary tumor-associated criteria: resected minimal synchronous macroscopic PC (n = 10), synchronous ovarian metastases (n = 2), positive peritoneal cytology (n = 2), pT4 primary tumors (n = 15) and perforation (n = 4). RESULTS PC was found and treated by cytoreduction plus HIPEC in 10 of the 33 (30.3%) patients, although it was detected in only 2/15 patients of the pT4 subgroup (13.3%). The patients without PC underwent complete abdominal exploration plus HIPEC. Median follow-up was 14.5 months. One patient died postoperatively at day 55. Severe morbidity rate (Clavien-Dindo III-V) was low (15.2%). The 3-year overall survival rate was 93% and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 33%. Peritoneal recurrences occurred in 4 patients (12.1%), 2 of whom had macroscopic PC discovered at the second-look (20%), while the other 2 patients had no macroscopic PC (8.7%) (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS The second look + HIPEC strategy in our series of patients at high risk of developing PC, allows its early detection and its treatment in 30.3% of cases, with a very low rate of peritoneal recurrence. It is important to continue evaluating the results to increase the accuracy of the inclusion criteria, especially the pT4 criterion that in this series has a low predictive power for the occurrence of PC.

Abstract
Multiple primary neoplasms (MPN) represent particular entities with growing impact in our daily practice due to their increasing incidence and implications in the treatment and outcome of oncological patients. MPN have a specific deffinition and can be classified as synchronous or metachronous depending on the time of diagnosis of the first and latter malignancies. We review in this article the possible risk factors involved in the etiology of MPN, the most frequent cancer associations, the incidence of synchronous and metachronous tumors, the stage at diagnosis, the treatment administered to the patients with MPN and the survival of patients with MPN.

Abstract
We assessed whether the laparoscopic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (L-HIPEC) + neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS) could reduce the peritoneal cancer index (PCI; which is defined by Sugerbaker) and improve the possibility to obtain a complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS with peritonectomy; basically according to the Sugerbaker's procedure). After L-HIPEC + NIPS, the PCI score was decreased in 89.5 per cent of patients, and the average score was significantly reduced. The average PCI reduction of improved PCI cases was 10.2 ± 8.4. The hypothetical cut-off was at a PCI score of six with significant higher possibility of CRS completeness. Twelve patients had high-PCI (PCI > 6), and six of them (50.0%) were converted to low-PCI (PCI ≦ 6) and got a complete CRS. There was a significant relationship between post-PCI (PCI after L-HIPEC + NIPS) and CRS completeness; however, pre-PCI (PCI before L-HIPEC + NIPS) value was not a relevant factor. The high-PCI and increased PCI even after L-HIPEC + NIPS (deteriorated-PCI) were suggested as important risk factors for surgical completeness. Neither pre- nor postcytological results had a significant relationship between CRS completeness. However, the deteriorated cytological class was considered as a risk factor for CRS completeness. The second-look laparoscopy would be recommended for the better selection of the patients who can receive benefits by this extensive surgery.

Abstract
Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) arise as a late effect of chemotherapy and/or radiation administered for a primary condition, typically a malignant disease, solid organ transplant or autoimmune disease. Survival is measured in months, not years, making t-MN one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers. In this Review, we discuss recent developments that reframe our understanding of the genetic and environmental aetiology of t-MN. Emerging data are illuminating who is at highest risk of developing t-MN, why t-MN are chemoresistant and how we may use this information to treat and ultimately prevent this lethal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic adenocarcinoma still has an excessively high mortality rate and resection is the only potentially curative treatment. The postoperative 5-year survival rate is approximately 20% and recurrence develops generally within 2 years. We report a case of a localized recurrent pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the remnant pancreas, 7 years after initial resection. CASE PRESENTATION In 2008 an abdominal computed tomography scan showed a mass in the pancreas of a 70-year-old white woman, who presented with occlusive jaundice and abdominal pain in her right upper quadrant. A pancreatoduodenectomy was performed for a clinically suspected pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Histology confirmed a ductal adenocarcinoma. Afterwards, she received adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine. In 2015 a follow-up positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan showed a single lesion in her remnant pancreas. Subsequently, a partial re-resection was performed. Histology confirmed once again a ductal adenocarcinoma. She received adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine again and is still alive almost 9 years after she had first been diagnosed as having pancreatic cancer. CONCLUSIONS In selected cases re-resection for pancreatic recurrence is feasible and provides a survival benefit. In cases involving late recurrence, it is difficult to distinguish between true recurrence and the development of a new tumor. In order to detect recurrences at an early stage in long-term survivors, follow-up needs to occur on a regular and long-term basis.

Abstract
To describe clinical features and outcomes of seven patients with pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in the setting of underlying primary Sjögren's syndrome from a single center, we reviewed medical records of consecutive patients with pulmonary MALT lymphoma evaluated at our facility from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2015 for clinical features, laboratory, pathologic and radiographic findings, management, and outcomes. Out of 13 patients with pulmonary MALT lymphoma, 7 (54 %) met the criteria for Sjögren's syndrome. The mean age at lymphoma diagnosis was 66 years; male-female ratio was 1:6. One-third of patients were asymptomatic at the time lymphoma was discovered. When symptomatic, patients reported nonspecific pulmonary complaints such as cough and dyspnea. All patients had positive antinuclear antibody and anti-SSA/Ro antibody. Rheumatoid factor was positive in six cases. A monoclonal gammopathy was present in three patients; the remaining four had polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. The radiologic, morphologic, and immunohistochemical features of primary Sjögren's syndrome-associated pulmonary MALT lymphomas did not differ significantly from pulmonary MALT lymphoma cases in general. All treatment modalities used resulted in complete and sustained response. One patient died 11 years after initial diagnosis with no lymphoma but of another cause. The remaining six patients are still alive and disease-free to date. The present series confirms the favorable course of pulmonary MALT lymphoma in Sjögren's patients. The overall imaging and pathologic features are in accordance with pulmonary MALT lymphoma not associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome. Further studies should be carried out in order to better understand pulmonary MALT lymphomagenesis, treatment, and outcomes in Sjögren's patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the clinical features, treatment factors, and prognosis of patients with multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMTs). In total, 161 patients with MPMTs at our hospital (The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China) were analyzed in this study. We found that among 161 patients with MPMTs, 78 (48.4%) patients had synchronous tumors and 83 (51.6%) patients had metachronous tumors. Most clinical and pathological features were similar in both groups. Most patients with MPMTs were men and older patients (>50 years old), and adenocarcinoma was the most frequent pathology type. The most frequent location of all MPMTs was the digestive system. The leading tumor association was between digestive-digestive tumors, also. However, patients with synchronous tumors and MPMTs of the digestive system showed a shorter survival time. In the metachronous cancer group, the median interval time was 60 months, and a short interval time (≤60 months) was associated with a shorter survival time. In addition, survival time was increased in the younger age group (≤50 years old) and in patients who accepted surgery-based comprehensive therapy. However, only interval time (≤60 months) was an independent prognostic factor associated with survival for the metachronous cancer group. Therefore, careful surveillance and follow-up are especially important in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features, treatment, and prognosis of sporadic bilateral renal cell carcinoma (RCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 148 patients with sporadic bilateral RCC treated in our center from June 1986 to December 2015 were included in this retrospective study. Their clinicopathologic features and treatments were evaluated. The survival and prognostic factors were assessed based on data from follow-up. RESULTS The median age was 54 years (range, 31-78 years). There were 88 patients with synchronous bilateral RCC and 60 with metachronous bilateral RCC. The median interval between bilateral tumors of metachronous bilateral RCC was 75.5 months. There was no significant difference in tumor size, nuclear grade, or T stage between metachronous tumors (P = .385, P = .544, and P = .263, respectively). Of 148 patients, 124 patients underwent bilateral surgery, 16 underwent unilateral surgery, and 8 patients did not undergo surgery. Of the 317 tumors with pathologic results, 297 (93.7%) were clear-cell subtype. A total of 136 (91.9%) patients were followed-up, and the median follow-up period was 77 months (range, 2-398 months). During follow-up, 38 (27.9%) patients died. The 5-year overall survival rate was 85.9%. The median survival time of patients with no surgery was 5 months. Older age (P = .001), bilateral nonoperative treatment (P < .001), higher T stage (P < .001), and multifocality (P = .02) were related to worse prognosis in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION In metachronous bilateral RCC, the latter occurrence does not bear a significantly worse pathologic biology. The prognosis of sporadic bilateral RCC with no surgery is poor. The overall oncologic results of patients with sporadic bilateral RCC are comparable with that of patients with unilateral RCC.
