    Abstract The use of concomitant medications by patients with cancer is observed almost globally; however, little attention has been paid to this topic in the medical literature. Most clinical studies do not describe the type and duration of drugs used at the time of inclusion and during treatment or how these drugs may affect the experimental and/or standard therapy. Even less information has been published on the potential interaction between concomitant medications and tumor biomarkers. However, we do know that concomitant drugs can complicate cancer clinical trials and biomarker development, thus contributing to their interaction, leading to side effects, and resulting in suboptimal adherence to anticancer treatment. On the basis of these premises and moving from the study by Jurisova

    Abstract Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) assessment is crucial for breast cancer treatment. Therapeutic decisions for recurrent cases often rely on primary tumor status. However, mounting evidence suggests that tumors show dynamic changes and up to 10% of breast cancer modify their initial status during progression. It is still debated whether these changes reflect a biological evolution of the disease or are secondary to primary tumor heterogeneity. Certainly, repeating HER2 assessment during breast cancer trajectory is important for the increasing availability of effective anti-HER2 drugs. In response to this need, circulating biomarkers such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offer the potential to safely and repeatedly assess HER2 status over time. This chapter outlines current methods for testing HER2 in CTCs and ctDNA, and reviews clinical trials evaluating its prognostic and predictive value in patients with breast cancer, as well as recent advances in the field.

    Abstract Cell-cycle abnormalities are common in estrogen receptor- and/or progesterone receptor-positive, and HER2-non-overexpressing (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer, and have long been considered potential therapeutic targets. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors have dramatically changed the therapeutic management of HR+/HER2-advanced breast cancer by prolonging progression-free and overall survival when given in combination with endocrine therapy. In this article, available data from PALLAS and monarchE trials regarding the efficacy and toxicity of adjuvant combined therapy with CDK 4/6 inhibitors and endocine therapy in HR+/HER2-early breast cancer are reviewed, and relevant issues including study hypothesis, patient selection, and duration of follow-up are discussed.

    Abstract Background: The rapid and global spread of COVID-19 posed a massive challenge to healthcare systems, which came across the need to provide high-intensity assistance to thousands of patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection while assuring continuous care for all other diseases. This has been of particular importance in the oncology field. This study explores how oncology centers responded to the pandemic at a single center level by assessing surveys addressing different aspects of cancer care after the pandemic outbreak.
    Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the cancer care surveys published until December 11th, 2020. Data were analyzed according to three main areas of interest, namely health care organization, including cancellation/delay and/or modification of scheduled treatments, cancellation/delay of outpatient visits, and reduction of overall cancer care activities; routine use of preventive measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) by both patients and health care workers, and systematic SARS-CoV-2 screening by nasopharyngeal swabs; and implementation of telemedicine through remote consultations.
    Findings: Fifty surveys reporting data on 9150 providers from 121 countries on 5 continents were included. Cancellation/delay of treatment occurred in 58% of centers; delay of outpatient visits in 75%; changes in treatment plans in 65%; and a general reduction in clinical activity in 58%. Routine use of PPE by patients and healthcare personnel was reported by 81% and 80% of centers, respectively; systematic SARS-CoV-2 screening by nasopharyngeal swabs was reported by only 41% of centers. Virtual visits were implemented by the majority (72%) of centers.
    Interpretation: These results describe the negative impact of COVID-19 on cancer care, the rapid response of cancer centers in terms of preventive measures and alternative treatment approaches such as telemedicine, and confirm that surveys can provide the valuable, low-cost and immediate information that critical situations require.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the work ability and its associated factors in patients with glioma (II, III) and breast cancer after 6 (T0) and 12 (T1) months from surgery. A total of 99 patients were evaluated with self-reported questionnaires at T0 and T1. Correlation and Mann-Whitney tests were used to investigate the association between work ability and sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors. The Wilcoxon test was used to investigate the longitudinal change in work ability. Our sample showed a decrease in work ability level between T0 and T1. Work ability was associated with emotional distress, disability, resilience, and social support in glioma III patients at T0, and with fatigue, disability, and clinical treatments in patients with breast cancer at T0 and T1. Work ability levels decreased in patients with glioma and breast cancer and were associated with different psychosocial factors after surgery. Their investigation is suggested to facilitate the return to work.
