    Abstract Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of death from neoplasia worldwide. Thanks to new screening programs, we are now seeing an increase in Early Onset of ColoRectal Cancer (EOCRC) in patients below the age of 50. Herein, we report a clinical case of a woman affected by EOCRC. This case illustrates the importance of genetic predisposition testing also in tumor patients. Indeed, for our patient, we used a combined approach of multiple molecular and cellular biology technologies that revealed the presence of an interesting novel variant in the

    Abstract Cancer therapies have revolutionized patient survival rates, yet they come with the risk of cardiotoxicity, necessitating effective monitoring and management. The existing guidelines offer a limited empirical basis for practical approaches in various clinical scenarios. This article explores the intricate relationship between cancer therapy and the cardiovascular system, highlighting the role of advanced multimodality imaging in monitoring patients before, during, and after cancer treatment. This review outlines the cardiovascular effects of different cancer therapy classes, offering a comprehensive understanding of their dose- and time-dependent impacts. This paper delves into diverse imaging modalities such as echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, and nuclear imaging, detailing their strengths and limitations in various conditions due to cancer treatment, such as cardiac dysfunction, myocarditis, coronary artery disease, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, arterial hypertension, valvular heart diseases, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Moreover, it underscores the significance of long-term follow-up for cancer survivors and discusses future directions.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infection is characterized by several clinical manifestations, ranging from the absence of symptoms to severe forms that necessitate intensive care treatment. It is known that the patients with the highest rate of mortality develop increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, called the "cytokine storm", which is similar to inflammatory processes that occur in cancer. Additionally, SARS-CoV-2 infection induces modifications in host metabolism leading to metabolic reprogramming, which is closely linked to metabolic changes in cancer. A better understanding of the correlation between perturbed metabolism and inflammatory responses is necessary. We evaluated untargeted plasma metabolomics and cytokine profiling via

    Abstract Background: ENCORE, an observational, prospective, open-label study, investigated real-world treatment practices and outcomes with cetuximab plus platinum-based therapy (PBT) in first-line (1L) recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN).
    Aims: This multinational study aimed to investigate the long-term use of cetuximab plus PBT for 1L R/M SCCHN in a clinical setting. In particular, this study aimed to explore clinical considerations such as the decision to prescribe cetuximab plus PBT in R/M SCCHN, the mode and duration of treatment, and patient outcomes.
    Methods and results: Previously untreated patients with R/M SCCHN whose planned treatment was cetuximab plus PBT were enrolled from 6 countries. Among 221 evaluable patients, planned treatments included cetuximab plus carboplatin (31.2%), cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (31.7%), or carboplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (23.1%); 3.2% included a taxane, and 45.2% did not include 5-fluorouracil. Cetuximab treatment was planned for a fixed duration (≤24 weeks) in 15 patients (6.8%) and until disease progression in 206 (93.2%). Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 6.5 and 10.8 months, respectively. Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 39.8% of patients. Serious adverse events occurred in 25.8% of patients; 5.4% were cetuximab-related.
    Conclusion: In patients with R/M SCCHN, first-line cetuximab plus PBT was feasible and modifiable in a real-world setting with similar toxicity and efficacy as in the pivotal phase III EXTREME trial.

    Abstract The randomized phase II VELO trial showed that the addition of panitumumab to trifluridine/tipiracil significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) as compared to trifluridine/tipiracil in third-line therapy in patients with refractory RAS wild-type (WT) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). With longer follow-up, final overall survival results and posttreatment subgroup analysis are presented. Sixty-two patients with refractory RAS WT mCRC were randomly assigned to receive, as third-line therapy, trifluridine/tipiracil alone (arm A) or in combination with panitumumab (arm B). Primary endpoint was PFS; secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR). Median OS was 13.1 months (95% CI 9.5-16.7) in arm A compared to 11.6 months (95% CI 6.3-17.0) in arm B (HR: 0.96, 95% CI 0.54-1.71, P = .9). To evaluate the impact of subsequent lines of treatment, subgroup analysis was performed for the 24/30 patients in arm A, that received fourth-line therapy after disease progression. Median PFS was 4.1 months (95% CI 1.44-6.83) for 17 patients treated with anti-EGFR rechallenge as compared to 3.0 months (95% CI 1.61-4.31) for seven patients that received other therapies (HR: 0.29, 95% CI 0.10-0.85, P = .024). Median OS from the start of fourth-line treatment was 13.6 months (95% CI 7.2-20), and 5.1 months (95% CI 1.8-8.3) for patients treated with anti-EGFR rechallenge vs other therapies, respectively (HR: 0.30, 95% CI 0.11-0.81, P = .019). Final results of the VELO trial support the role of anti-EGFR rechallenge in the continuum of care of patients with RAS/BRAF WT mCRC.

    Abstract Importance: Current third-line therapies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) have limited efficacy. Rechallenge with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors for RAS wild-type (WT) MCRC may be valuable for these patients.
    Objective: To compare the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody panitumumab plus standard-of-care trifluridine-tipiracil with trifluridine-tipiracil alone as third-line therapy for RAS WT MCRC.
    Design, setting, and participants: This phase 2 randomized clinical trial (RCT) was conducted in 7 Italian centers from June 2019 to April 2022. Patients with refractory RAS WT MCRC who had a partial or complete response to first-line chemotherapy plus an anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody and an anti-EGFR drug-free interval of 4 or more months during second-line therapy were included.
    Interventions: Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive panitumumab plus trifluridine-tipiracil or trifluridine-tipiracil alone.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) extended sequence variation analysis was performed in a subgroup of patients.
    Results: Of 62 included patients, 31 received panitumumab plus trifluridine-tipiracil (19 [61.3%] male; median age, 65 years [range, 39-81 years]) and 31 received trifluridine-tipiracil alone (17 [54.8%] male; median age, 66 years [range, 32-82 years]). The primary end point was met. Median PFS was 4.0 months (95% CI, 2.8-5.3 months) in the panitumumab plus trifluridine-tipiracil arm vs 2.5 months (95% CI, 1.4-3.6 months) in the trifluridine-tipiracil only (hazard ratio [HR], 0.48; 95% CI, 0.28-0.82; P = .007). Pretreatment plasma RAS/BRAF WT ctDNA identified patients obtaining prolonged clinical benefit with panitumumab plus trifluridine-tipiracil compared with trifluridine-tipiracil, with PFS rates at 6 months of 38.5% vs 13.0% and at 12 months of 15.4% vs 0%. A ctDNA liquid-biopsy extended mutation analysis by FoundationOne Liquid CDx (profiling 324 genes) was performed in a subgroup of patients with baseline plasma RAS/BRAF WT ctDNA; in 15 of 23 patients (65.2%) whose tumors were WT for KRAS, NRAS, BRAFV600E, EGFR, ERBB2, MAP2K1, and PIK3CA, median PFS was 6.4 months (95% CI, 3.7-9.2 months). Within this group of 15 patients, 2 (13.3%) had partial response, 11 (73.3%) had stable disease, and 2 (13.3%) had disease progression as best response.
    Conclusions and relevance: In this RCT, third-line treatment with the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody panitumumab plus the standard-of-care trifluridine-tipiracil resulted in improved PFS compared with treatment with trifluridine-tipiracil alone among patients with refractory RAS WT MCRC. The findings support the clinical utility of liquid biopsy-guided anti-EGFR rechallenge therapy for refractory RAS WT MCRC.
