The association between quality of surgery and overall survival in patients affected by localized gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is not completely understood.To assess the risk death with without imatinib according to microscopic margins status (R0/R1) using data from a randomized study on adjuvant imatinib.This post hoc observational included randomized, open-label, phase III trial, performed December 2004 October 2008. Median follow-up was 9.1 years (IQR, 8-10 years). at 112...

Breast cancer (BC) in young women is uncommon and tends to present with more aggressive characteristics. To better understand characterize this scenario Brazil through real-world data, we performed a subanalysis of AMAZONA III study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02663973).The (GBECAM 0115) prospective registry that included 2,950 newly diagnosed invasive BC from January 2016 until March 2018 at 22 sites. Valid data were obtained 2,888 patients regarding age diagnosis complete baseline...

Background The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer 22092‐62092 STRASS trial failed to demonstrate the superiority neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT) over surgery alone in patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma. Therefore, an RT quality‐assurance program was added study protocol detect correct deviations. authors report results from its potential effect on patient outcomes. Methods To evaluate compliance survival outcomes, a composite end point created. It combined...

The present study aims to assess the performance of 18F-FDG PET-CT on mediastinal staging non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a location with endemic granulomatous infectious disease.Diagnostic test including patients aged 18 years or older operable stage I-III NSCLC and indication for lymph node biopsy. All underwent PET-scan before invasive staging, either through mediastinoscopy thoracotomy, which was considered gold-standard. Surgeons pathologists were blinded scan results. Primary...

Testosterone suppression is the standard treatment for advanced prostate cancer, and it associated with side-effects that impair patients' quality of life, like sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, weight gain, increased cardiovascular risk. We hypothesized abiraterone acetate prednisone (AAP) apalutamide, alone or in combination, can be an effective hormonal therapy also possibly decreasing castration-associated side effects.Phase II, open-label, randomized, efficacy trial plus Androgen...

Mutations in the ESR1 gene (ESR1m) are important mechanisms of resistance to endocrine therapy estrogen receptor-positive advanced breast cancer and have been recognized as a prognostic predictive biomarker well potential therapeutic target. However, prevalence ESR1m real-world patients has not adequately described. Therefore, we sought evaluate metastatic samples from Brazilian with (ER+) previously treated therapy. The presence was evaluated formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue...

Of newly diagnosed patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), stage III accounts for 30%. Most are treated concurrent chemoradiation therapy, but the addition of consolidation chemotherapy (CC) is debatable. We examined effect CC in Brazilian NSCLC routine clinical practice.We retrospectively collected data from five different institutions who had and were therapy followed or not by CC. Eligible age 18 years older must have been cisplatin-carboplatin plus etoposide, paclitaxel,...

Abstract Background Randomised clinical trials (RCT) are considered a gold standard generating efficacy and safety data supporting drug approval. However, real world (RWD) reflecting health care delivery is becoming increasingly important. RWD on patient profiles patterns of in MBC scarce developing countries. As an example, observational studies suggest that despite guideline recommendations clearly indicating ET for hormone receptor positive MBC, considerable proportion patients practice...

Abstract Background: Breast cancer (BC) with low expression of HER2 (HER2-low) might constitute a group tumors unique clinical and biological characteristics. However, the prognostic impact HER2-low status vs HER2-zero in terms pathological complete response (pCR) event-free survival (EFS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) remains controversial. The aim this study was to evaluate pCR EFS rates early BC patients treated NACT. Methods: In cross-sectional study, we analyzed 565 consecutive...

KEYNOTE-024 trial demonstrated that immunotherapy was superior to platinum-based chemotherapy in the first-line setting. However, only 30% screened had programmed death receptor ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression above 50%. The prevalence biomarkers NSCLC may vary through different regions worldwide. Our study aims describe PD-L1 Brazil. Methods: Immunohistochemistry for...
