    Abstract Many cancers are associated with poor diet, lack of physical activity, and excess weight. Improving any of these three lifestyle factors would likely reduce cancer deaths. However, modifications to each of these-better nutrition, enhanced activity and fitness, and loss of extra body fat-have different effect sizes on cancer mortality. This review will highlight the relative benefit that each lifestyle change, enacted prior to a diagnosis of cancer, might impart on cancer-related deaths, as well as attempt to quantify the changes required to derive such a benefit. The review relies primarily on epidemiological data, with meta-analyses serving as the backbone for comparisons across interventions and individual studies within the larger meta-analyses providing the data necessary to form more quantitative conclusions. The reader can then use this information to better understand, recommend, and implement behaviors that might ultimately reduce cancer mortality. Of all the interventions, it seems clear that exercise, specifically improving cardiorespiratory fitness, is the best way to decrease the risk of dying from cancer.

    Abstract Importance: Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy and surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) achieve less favorable clinical outcomes than non-Hispanic White patients, but the source of this disparity is incompletely understood.
    Objective: To assess whether racial and ethnic disparities in treatment outcomes among patients with LARC could be accounted for by social determinants of health and demographic, clinical, and pathologic factors known to be associated with treatment response.
    Design, setting, and participants: The National Cancer Database was interrogated to identify patients with T3 to T4 or N1 to N2 LARC treated with neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. Patients were diagnosed between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2017. Data were culled from the National Cancer Database from July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2023.
    Exposure: Neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer followed by surgical resection.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy. Secondary outcomes were rate of tumor downstaging and achievement of pN0 status.
    Results: A total of 34 500 patient records were reviewed; 21 679 of the patients (62.8%) were men and 12 821 (37.2%) were women. The mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 59.7 (12.0) years. In terms of race and ethnicity, 2217 patients (6.4%) were Hispanic, 2843 (8.2%) were non-Hispanic Black, and 29 440 (85.3%) were non-Hispanic White. Hispanic patients achieved tumor downstaging (48.9% vs 51.8%; P = .01) and pN0 status (66.8% vs 68.8%; P = .02) less often than non-Hispanic White patients. Non-Hispanic Black race, but not Hispanic ethnicity, was associated with less tumor downstaging (odds ratio [OR], 0.86 [95% CI, 0.78-0.94]), less frequent pN0 status (OR, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.83-0.99]), and less frequent pCR (OR, 0.81 [95% CI, 0.72-0.92]). Other factors associated with reduced rate of pCR included rural location (OR, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.69-0.93]), lack of or inadequate insurance (OR for Medicaid, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.76-0.98]; OR for no insurance, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.54-0.78]), and treatment in a low-volume center (OR for first quartile, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.62-0.87]; OR for second quartile, 0.79 [95% CI, 0.70-0.90]; OR for third quartile, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.78-0.94]). Clinical and pathologic variables associated with a decreased pCR included higher tumor grade (OR, 0.58 [95% CI, 0.49-0.70]), advanced tumor stage (OR for T3, 0.56 [95% CI, 0.42-0.76]; OR for T4, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.22-0.42]), and lymph node-positive disease (OR for N1, 0.83 [95% CI, 0.77-0.89]; OR for N2, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.65-0.82]).
    Conclusions and relevance: The findings of this cohort study suggest that disparate treatment outcomes for Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black patients are likely multifactorial in origin. Future investigation into additional social determinants of health and biological variables is warranted.

    Abstract Mutations in RAS isoforms (KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS) are among the most frequent oncogenic alterations in many cancers, making these proteins high priority therapeutic targets. Effectively targeting RAS isoforms requires an exact understanding of their active, inactive, and druggable conformations. However, there is no structural catalog of RAS conformations to guide therapeutic targeting or examining the structural impact of RAS mutations. Here we present an expanded classification of RAS conformations based on analyses of the catalytic switch 1 (SW1) and switch 2 (SW2) loops. From 721 human KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS structures available in the Protein Data Bank (206 RAS-protein cocomplexes, 190 inhibitor-bound, and 325 unbound, including 204 WT and 517 mutated structures), we created a broad conformational classification based on the spatial positions of Y32 in SW1 and Y71 in SW2. Clustering all well-modeled SW1 and SW2 loops using a density-based machine learning algorithm defined additional conformational subsets, some previously undescribed. Three SW1 conformations and nine SW2 conformations were identified, each associated with different nucleotide states (GTP-bound, nucleotide-free, and GDP-bound) and specific bound proteins or inhibitor sites. The GTP-bound SW1 conformation could be further subdivided on the basis of the hydrogen bond type made between Y32 and the GTP γ-phosphate. Further analysis clarified the catalytic impact of G12D and G12V mutations and the inhibitor chemistries that bind to each druggable RAS conformation. Overall, this study has expanded our understanding of RAS structural biology, which could facilitate future RAS drug discovery.
    Significance: Analysis of >700 RAS structures helps define an expanded landscape of active, inactive, and druggable RAS conformations, the structural impact of common RAS mutations, and previously uncharacterized RAS inhibitor-binding modes.

    Abstract Pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains one of the deadliest malignancies affecting the older population. We are experiencing a paradigm shift in the treatment of pancreatic cancer in the era of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Utilizing neoadjuvant treatment and further conducting a safe surgery while protecting patients in a controlled environment can improve oncological outcomes. On the other hand, an optimal oncologic procedure performed in a hazardous setting could shorten patient survival if recovery is complicated by COVID-19 infection. We believe that oncological treatment protocols must adapt to this new health threat, and pancreatic cancer is not unique in this regard. Although survival may not be as optimistic as most other malignancies, as caregivers and researchers, we are committed to innovating and reshaping the treatment algorithms to minimize morbidity and maximize survival as caregivers and researchers.

    Abstract Pancreatic cancer is becoming increasingly deadly, with treatment options limited due to, among others, the complex tumor microenvironment (TME). This short communications study investigates pulsed low-dose-rate radiation (PLDR) as a potential alternative to conventional radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer neoadjuvant treatment. Our ex vivo research demonstrates that PLDR, in combination with chemotherapy, promotes a shift from tumor-promoting to tumor-suppressing properties in a key component of the pancreatic cancer microenvironment we called CAFu (cancer-associated fibroblasts and selfgenerated extracellular matrix functional units). This beneficial effect translates to reduced desmoplasia (fibrous tumor expansion) and suggests PLDR's potential to improve total neoadjuvant therapy effectiveness. To comprehensively assess this functional shift, we developed the HOST-Factor, a single score integrating multiple biomarkers. This tool provides a more accurate picture of CAFu function compared to individual biomarkers and could be valuable for guiding and monitoring future therapeutic strategies. Our findings support the ongoing NCT04452357 clinical trial testing PLDR safety and TME normalization potential in pancreatic cancer patients. The HOST-Factor will be used in samples collected from this trial to validate its potential as a key tool for personalized medicine in this aggressive disease.

    Abstract Purpose: Management paradigms now allow for systemic targeted drugs before central nervous system (CNS)-directed radiation therapy (RT) in selected asymptomatic patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases (BM). We aimed to quantify how novel targeted agents with improved CNS activity, such as second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors (eg, alectinib), might affect the role of CNS-directed RT.
    Methods and materials: This retrospective, observational, real-world, patterns-of-care study used a nationwide, electronic, health record-derived, de-identified, longitudinal database. A random sample of patients with ALK+ advanced NSCLC and BM on first-line ALK-inhibitor monotherapy between January 1, 2014 and August 31, 2019 were included. Using an index date of the first instance of BM, the outcome was brain-directed local treatment within 4 months. Trends over time were reported and tested using multivariable modified Poisson regression with robust error variance, including an indicator during or after 2017 (when alectinib was approved).
    Results: Of the 352 included patients, 146 had BM. In addition, 104 patients received CNS-directed local therapy, and 42 did not. The majority of patients (89.4%) were treated with RT alone. Of those receiving RT, stereotactic radiosurgery monotherapy was the most common (53%), followed by whole brain RT alone (39%). On multivariable analysis, patients who had their first BM during or after 2017 had a decreased rate of receiving local BM treatment versus those before 2017 with an adjusted incidence rate ratio of 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.41-0.95; P = .026). We found no change in the proportion of BM treated with whole brain RT during or after 2017 versus before (adjusted incidence rate ratio: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.24-2.06; P = .517).
    Conclusions: We found decreasing use of CNS-directed RT in patients with NSCLC with new BM on first-line ALK inhibitors. Clinical outcomes for these patients require continued investigation, because physicians may become increasingly comfortable deferring upfront local therapy for BM in lieu of novel targeted agents with improved CNS activity.
