High-throughput genomic and molecular profiling of tumors is emerging as an important clinical approach. Molecular increasingly being used to guide cancer patient care, especially in advanced incurable cancers. However, navigating the scientific literature make evidence-based decisions based on results overwhelming for many oncology clinicians researchers. The Personalized Cancer Therapy website (www.personalizedcancertherapy.org) was created provide online resource researchers facilitate...

Advanced gynecologic cancers have historically lacked effective treatment options. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for of cervical cancer endometrial cancer, offering durable responses some patients. In addition, many immunotherapy strategies are under investigation earlier stages disease or in other cancers, such as ovarian rare tumors. While integration ICIs into standard care has improved outcomes patients, their use...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate whether gastrointestinal-type chemotherapy was associated with improved survival compared standard gynecologic regimens for women ovarian mucinous carcinoma. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients carcinoma who received postoperative adjuvant at two academic centers. Demographic and clinical information abstracted from the medical records. Gastrointestinal-type contained 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, irinotecan, or oxaliplatin. Gynecologic...

The COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges for ovarian cancer survivors. This study aims to evaluate the psychologic morbidity and alterations in medical care caused by pandemic.Advanced-stage survivors at our institution were contacted participation a cross-sectional telephone-based quantitative survey assessing pandemic-related morbidity. Psychologic domains using validated measures explored: health-related quality of life (HRQOL; functional assessment therapy [FACT-G7]), anxiety...

In many tumors, CD73 (NT5E), a rate-limiting enzyme in adenosine biosynthesis, is upregulated by TGF-β and drives tumor progression. Conversely, downregulated endometrial carcinomas (EC) despite TGF-β-rich environment. Through gene expression analyses of normal endometrium samples the uterine cancer TCGA data set genetic pharmacological studies, we discovered loss shifts TGF-β1 from suppressor to promoter EC. epithelial integrity vivo vitro early stage EC cells. With CD73, TGF-β1-mediated...

Abstract Background: Preclinical data from our team demonstrated that MEK inhibition increases antitumor efficacy of PARP inhibitors in tumors with Ras pathway alterations. We sought to identify dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and maximum tolerated (MTD) olaparib selumetinib combination solid Methods: Olaparib were given orally twice daily. Dose escalation three planned levels (DL) was performed using the modified toxicity probability interval 2 design assessed by CTCAE v4.03. RECIST...
