    Abstract The recognition that tobacco smoke is carcinogenic led to the most significant and successful effort at reducing cancer incidence in human history. A major milestone of this effort was the publication in Cancer Research by Wynder and colleagues, which demonstrated the ability of tobacco tars to produce tumors in mice. This study provided a powerful link between the epidemiology of cancer and mechanisms of carcinogenesis. This commentary asserts that we have a moral obligation to translate our success in reducing lung cancer in the United States to the 1.25 billion smokers throughout the rest of the world.

    Abstract The mutator phenotype hypothesis was postulated more than 40 years ago. It was based on the multiple enzymatic steps required to precisely replicate the 6 billion bases in the human genome each time a normal cell divides. A reduction in this accuracy during tumor progression could be responsible for the striking heterogeneity of malignant cells within a tumor and for the rapidity by which cancers become resistant to therapy.

    Abstract Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system and is widely recognized as a disease primarily affecting women. The relationship between MS and hypogonadism is complex and not fully understood, with recent evidence showing that hypogonadism may have a significant impact on the quality of life and disease progression of patients with MS.
    Objectives: This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding the relationship between MS and hypogonadism, including the mechanisms underlying this relationship; the effects of hypogonadism on patients with MS; and the potential benefits and drawbacks of testosterone replacement therapy for patients with MS and hypogonadism.
    Methods: This scientific review analyzed 19 articles that investigated the potential relationship among MS, testosterone levels, and hypogonadism. The articles were published between November 2008 and March 2022 and were identified through a comprehensive search of the PubMed database. The search terms used included "multiple sclerosis," "testosterone," "hypogonadism," and "MS and testosterone levels."
    Results: Of the 19 articles reviewed, 11 described a positive correlation between low testosterone levels and dysfunction within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in individuals with MS. These findings suggest that low testosterone levels may contribute to dysfunction within the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, which plays a crucial role in regulating testosterone production. The results also showed a relationship between sexual dysfunction and low testosterone levels, as well as a positive correlative relationship between these factors.
    Conclusion: The reviewed articles indicate a complex relationship among MS, testosterone levels, and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, with low testosterone levels potentially contributing to dysfunction in this axis and to sexual dysfunction. Further research is needed to better understand the effects of testosterone therapy on MS and sexual dysfunction in patients with MS.

    Abstract For the last 40 years the authors have collaborated on trying to understand the complexities of human cancer by formulating testable mathematical models that are based on mutation accumulation in human malignancies. We summarize the concepts encompassed by multiple mutations in human cancers in the context of source, accumulation during carcinogenesis and tumor progression, and therapeutic consequences. We conclude that the efficacious treatment of human cancer by targeted therapy will involve individualized, uniquely directed specific agents singly and in simultaneous combinations, and take into account the importance of targeting resistant subclonal mutations, particularly those subclones with alterations in DNA repair genes, DNA polymerase, and other genes required to maintain genetic stability.

    Abstract After a focused telehealth visit, patients can now access phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5 inhibitor) prescriptions through online direct-to-consumer (DTC) healthcare companies. This study seeks to quantify the cost of DTC PDE5 inhibitor treatment compared to a traditional physician visit and local pharmacy prescription. Two DTC companies, two compounding pharmacies with national reach, three online Canadian pharmacies, and sixteen American pharmacy chains were queried for prices of 90-day regimens of common PDE5 inhibitors. Prices for chains were determined using their publicly available price on GoodRx

    Abstract Mutations characterize diverse human cancers; there is a positive correlation between elevated mutation frequency and tumor progression. One exception is acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which has few clonal single nucleotide mutations. We used highly sensitive and accurate Duplex Sequencing (DS) to show now that AML, in addition, has an extensive repertoire of variants with low allele frequencies, < 1%, which is below the accurate detection limit of most other sequencing methodologies. The subclonal variants are unique to each individual and change in composition, frequency, and sequence context from diagnosis to relapse. Their functional significance is apparent by the observation that many are known variants and cluster within functionally important protein domains. Subclones provide a reservoir of variants that could expand and contribute to the development of drug resistance and relapse. In accord, we accurately identified subclonal variants in AML driver genes NRAS and RUNX1 at allele frequencies between 0.1% and 0.3% at diagnosis, which expanded to comprise a major fraction (14-53%) of the blast population at relapse. Early and accurate detection of subclonal variants with low allele frequency thus offers the opportunity for early intervention, prior to detection of clinical relapse, to improve disease outcome and enhance patient survival.

    Abstract Recent data on DNA sequencing of human tumours have established that cancer cells contain thousands of mutations. These data support the concept that cancer cells express a mutator phenotype. This Perspective considers the evidence supporting the mutator phenotype hypothesis, the origin and consequences of a mutator phenotype, the implications for personalized medicine and the feasibility of ablating tumours by error catastrophe.
