    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to gain insight into the experiences of, and reasons for, cancer survivors participating in a primary care PA program.
    Methods: We interviewed 17 patients from 11 Dutch GP practices. Patients were selected by purposive sampling based on their general practice, gender, educational level, motivation for PA, and change in PA. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and pseudonymized for inductive thematic analysis.
    Results: Three domains were identified with five themes: institutional domain: GP practice; program-specific domain: content sessions and PA, and activity tracker and goal setting; individual domain: experienced benefits, and personalized care needs. Participants valued the PA program because it was offered close to home, without additional costs, and by a trusted practice nurse familiar with the patients' medical background. Activity tracker use and goal setting motivated many participants but also led to demotivation and feelings of failure in others. Reported benefits included behavior change and favorable health outcomes. Many patients expressed the need to personalize psychological support and the program's timing.
    Conclusions: Access to a PA program in a primary care setting is valued for its accessibility and experienced health benefits, but also seems to meet an unmet need for support in picking up life during cancer recovery.
    Implications for cancer survivors: Primary care is important for continued care of cancer survivors. An accessible PA program in this setting may fulfil a need for not only lifestyle support but also continuing life after cancer treatment.

    Abstract Importance: Patients with extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinomas (EPNECs) receive essentially the same treatment as those with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) despite differences in origin, clinical course, and survival. This SCLC-based approach is attributable to the rarity of EPNECs, which impedes the use of randomized clinical trials. However, neuroendocrine carcinomas are becoming more common because of the increasing use of systemic cancer therapy for adenocarcinomas. This treatment can transdifferentiate certain adenocarcinomas into neuroendocrine carcinomas. In addition, the treatment landscape for SCLC is slowly changing, potentially impacting the treatment paradigms for EPNECs.
    Observations: New information on tumorigenesis of EPNECs from different origins, either as a primary malignant tumor or after neuroendocrine differentiation from adenocarcinomas, demonstrates their biological similarity. Activated molecular pathways that appear to underlie the development of EPNECs are potentially targetable, and some of these targets, such as poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase, Wee1, and Aurora A kinase, are currently under investigation. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) already constituted a new treatment modality for patients with SCLC and produced some promising results in patients with EPNECs.
    Conclusions and relevance: Although only moderately effective, the introduction of ICIs signifies the first new option in systemic treatment of SCLC in decades. To prove the value of ICIs and other new drugs for patients with EPNECs, these patients should be included in clinical trials independent of the primary tumor site. Furthermore, to optimize clinical decision-making for patients with EPNECs, experts from the neuroendocrine tumor board should collaborate with members from tumor site-specific boards, which will require patient referral to a center with EPNEC expertise.

    Abstract Immunotherapy in the form of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has transformed the treatment landscape in numerous types of advanced cancer. However, the majority of patients do not benefit from this treatment modality. Although data are scarce, in general, patients with low-grade neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) do not benefit from treatment with ICIs in contrast to patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma, in which a small subgroup of patients may benefit. Low- and intermediate-grade NETs predominantly lack factors associated with response to ICIs treatment, like immune cell infiltration, and have an immunosuppressive tumour metabolism and microenvironment. In addition, because of its potential influence on the response to ICIs, major interest has been shown in the tryptophan-degrading enzymes indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO). These enzymes work along the kynurenine pathway that deplete tryptophan in the tumour microenvironment. IDO and TDO are especially of interest in NETs since some tumours produce serotonin but the majority do not, which potentially deplete the precursor tryptophan. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the immune tumour microenvironment of neuroendocrine tumours and implications for treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. We also discuss (targetable) factors in the NET tumour microenvironment that potentially modulate the anti-cancer immune response.

    Abstract Introduction: Physical activity (PA) favourably affects various health outcomes in cancer survivors, but little is known about how to implement a PA programme in primary care. We therefore aim to implement and evaluate such a programme for cancer survivors in general practice.
    Methods and analyses: The Stimulation of Daily Activity study is an implementation study with a single-arm longitudinal design in 15 Dutch general practices. Patients aged ≥18 years who finished cancer treatment more than 6 months ago will be eligible for inclusion. The intervention will comprise six coaching sessions with the practice nurse in 9 months, seeking to increase PA in daily activities and using an activity tracker for goal setting and feedback. The
    Ethics and dissemination: The Medical Research Ethics Committee of the University Medical Centre Groningen, the Netherlands, concluded that this study was not subject to the Dutch Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (registration number: 201900586). The study results will be made available to patients and general practitioners via (inter)national publications and conferences, newsletters, public summaries and via (social) media.

    Abstract The chemokine receptor, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and its ligand, C-X-C motif chemokine 12, are key mediators of hematopoietic cell trafficking. Their roles in the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells, induction of angiogenesis, and invasive tumor growth have been recognized for over 2 decades. CXCR4 is a promising target for imaging and therapy of both hematologic and solid tumors. To date, Sanofi Genzyme's plerixafor is the only marketed CXCR4 inhibitor (i.e., Food and Drug Administration-approved in 2008 for stem cell mobilization). However, several new CXCR4 inhibitors are now being investigated as potential therapies for a variety of fluid and solid tumors. These small molecules, peptides, and Abs include balixafortide (POL6326, Polyphor), mavorixafor (X4P-001, X4 Pharmaceuticals), motixafortide (BL-8040, BioLineRx), LY2510924 (Eli Lilly), and ulocuplumab (Bristol-Myers Squibb). Early clinical evidence has been encouraging, for example, with motixafortide and balixafortide, and the CXCR4 inhibitors appear to be generally safe and well tolerated. Molecular imaging is increasingly being used for effective patient selection before, or early during CXCR4 inhibitor treatment. The use of radiolabeled theranostics that combine diagnostics and therapeutics is an additional intriguing approach. The current status and future directions for radioimaging and treating patients with CXCR4-expressing hematologic and solid malignancies are reviewed. See related review - At the Bench: Pre-Clinical Evidence for Multiple Functions of CXCR4 in Cancer. J. Leukoc. Biol. xx: xx-xx; 2020.

    Abstract Molecular defects of the insulin-like growth factor 1 gene (IGF1) are rare in the human. Only three homozygous and two families with heterozygous mutations of the IGF1 gene have been described, resulting in a variable degree of intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, developmental delay and deafness. Detailed genetic analysis and functional experiments have shown that IGF-1 plays a key role in pre- and postnatal growth and development in human. Eleven patients with heterozygous and 2 patients with compound heterozygous mutations in the type 1 IGF1 receptor gene (IGF1R) have been reported. Intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly and IGF-1 levels above the mean of age references are consistent findings in these patients, although IGF-1 levels can be low initially because of feeding problems. The first reported patients showed the most severe phenotype, but with the identification of additional patients the phenotype appears to be more variable. The functional effect of the defects has been studied by in vitro experiments. From these studies, receptor haploinsufficiency, decreased IGF1R biosynthesis, interference with ligand binding and transmembrane signaling, and disruption of the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity have been suggested as possible mechanisms with a variable pathogenetic spectrum. Data on GH treatment in these children are limited, showing a poor to modest growth response.

    Abstract Objective: Insulin like growth factors-1 (IGF-1) is essential for normal
    Methods: A girl born with a low weight and length [-2.3 and -2.4 standard deviation (SD) score (SDS), respectively] but borderline low head circumference (-1.6 SD) presented with a height of -1.7 SDS, in contrast to a normal height twin brother (0.0 SDS). IGF-1 resistance was suspected because of elevated serum IGF-1 levels.
