    Abstract Introduction: Between 20% and 30% of the endometrial cancers (EC) are associated with a deficiency of a mismatch repair (MMRd) protein or high microsatellite instability (MSI-H), characteristics that render the tumor more sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. There is no standard treatment for advanced EC after progression to a platinum-containing regimen.
    Areas covered: The phase I GARNET clinical trial assessed the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of anti-PD1 dostarlimab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The A1 cohort of this trial enrolled patients with MMRd or MSI-H recurrent or advanced EC who had previously received a platinum-containing regimen. The results of this cohort showed significant clinical activity, durable responses, and a favorable safety profile, without reducing quality of life. Based on these data, dostarlimab achieved accelerated approval.
    Expert opinion: Although a randomized study has not yet been conducted, dostarlimab monotherapy should be the treatment of choice for patients with advanced MMRd EC in progression after a platinum-containing regimen. Selecting patients with EC for immune checkpoint inhibitors using the MMRd predictive biomarker could facilitate more efficient and sustainable health systems and avoid the use of more toxic combinations, leading to personalized medicine.

    Abstract Objective: Our aim was to reach a consensus on the management of the most controversial issues of advanced ovarian cancer.
    Methods: Nominal group and Delphi techniques were used. A steering committee of 5 experts analyzed current management of advanced ovarian cancer, identified controversies, critically analyzed the evidence, and formulated guiding statements for clinicians. Subsequently, a panel of 15 experts was selected to test agreement with the statements through two Delphi rounds. Items were scored on a 4-point Likert scale from 1 (totally disagree) to 4 (totally agree). In the first and second rounds, consensus was considered if ≥70% of answers pertained to category 1 or category 4.
    Results: Overall, 112 statements were incorporated in the following areas: 1) biomarkers and hereditary ovarian cancer; 2) first-line treatment; 3) recurrent disease when platinum might be the best option; and 4) post-poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors setting. In the first Delphi round, 37 statements reached consensus and did thus not pass to the second round. After the second round, another 18 statements reached consensus. Forty-six of the consensus were with the agreement and 9 with the disagreement.
    Conclusion: Through the methodology used, a consensus was reached in approximately half of the statements. The results of this work may be useful in addressing the most controversial issues on the management of advanced ovarian cancer.

    Abstract Objective: There is an increase in patient-reported outcome assessments to gain information on new drug candidates from the patient's perspective. A data gap remains in patient-reported outcome measurements for anti-programmed death 1 (anti-PD-1) therapies in endometrial cancer. We present patient-reported outcome measures collected from patients with mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer treated with dostarlimab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, in an expansion cohort of the GARNET trial.
    Methods: GARNET (NCT02715284) is a phase I single-arm study of dostarlimab monotherapy in multiple tumor types. Patients with advanced or recurrent mismatch repair-deficient/microsatellite instability-high endometrial cancer were treated with 500 mg of intravenous dostarlimab once every 3 weeks for four cycles, then 1000 mg of intravenous dostarlimab every 6 weeks. Patient-reported outcome assessments were an exploratory endpoint, measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30).
    Results: At data cut-off, 88 patients with mismatch repair-deficient endometrial cancer were included in the analysis. Patient-reported outcome assessment completion was >95.5% throughout cycle 7 of the trial, with no individual domain completion <90.9%. Quality of life, emotional functioning, and social functioning showed improvement compared with baseline. All symptom scores showed either improvement or stability from baseline through cycle 7. Categorical change in response across all symptom scales and single-item response scores showed stability or improvement for most patients. For patients who saw a worsening of their categorical change in response, ≤7.4% experienced a 2-category worsening and ≤2.5% experienced a 3-category worsening.
    Conclusions: Most patients remained stable or had improved quality of life while receiving dostarlimab for the treatment of recurrent or advanced mismatch repair-deficient endometrial cancer.

    Abstract Angiosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma originating from endothelial cells. Given that current treatments for advanced disease have shown limited efficacy, alternative therapies need to be identified. In rare diseases, patient-derived cell models are crucial for screening anti-tumour activity. In this study, cell line models were characterised in 2D and 3D cultures. The cell lines' growth, migration and invasion capabilities were explored, confirming them as useful tools for preclinical angiosarcoma studies. By screening a drug library, we identified potentially effective compounds: 8-amino adenosine impacted cell growth and inhibited migration and invasion at considerably low concentrations as a single agent. No synergistic effect was detected when combining with paclitaxel, gemcitabine or doxorubicin. These results suggest that this compound could be a potentially useful drug in the treatment of AGS.

    Abstract Periosteal Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an exceedingly rare topographic subtype of the ES. To our knowledge, only 60 patients have been reported in the medical English language literature. It predominantly affects men in the second decade of life and arises in the long tubular bone diaphysis. PES rarely develops distant metastases. We report two patients of this rare ES location that were found on the distal tibial shaft and proximal femoral diaphysis of a 21-year-old man and an 8-year-old boy, respectively. Both patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, wide resection, and adjuvant chemotherapy. One of our patients had lung metastases at the time of diagnosis and died 5 years later. The other patient presented intramedullary humeral bone metastasis 19 years after diagnosis. There has been no evidence of disease in the 26 years of follow-up. Close follow-up of periosteal ES is recommended because distant metastases may exceptionally occur, even several years after diagnosis.

    Title translation The impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on oncological patients in a tertiary hospital.
    Abstract Blackground: The COVID-19 pandemic has over-burdened the Spanish health service and, as a result, affected the treatment and management of oncological patients. The aim of this study is to make a descriptive analysis of the management of oncological patients and the functioning of the tumour committees in the University Hospital La Paz (Madrid) during the first wave of the pandemic.
    Materials and methods: A descriptive analysis was made, based on the results of a questionnaire given to all 18 adult tumour committees and 3 paediatric tumour committees in the University Hospital La Paz. Further information was obtained from all the hospital services involved in the diagnosis and treatment of oncological patients.
    Results: During the first wave of the pandemic, there was a significant decrease in diagnostic tests. For many weeks, the majority of oncological surgical procedures were delayed or referred to other hospitals. Highly beneficial systemic and radiotherapeutic treatments were maintained and preoperative treatment was increased. The diagnosis and treatment of paediatric tumours was unaltered. Tumour committees were affected but each one adjusted in a different way. All the departments involved in the diagnosis and treatment of oncological patients made contingency plans to minimalize the effect on patients.
    Conclusion: This study shows how the management of oncological patients and the functioning of tumour committees was affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract In recent years, the fight against climate change and the mitigation of the impact of fluorinated gases (F-gases) on the atmosphere is a global concern. Development of technologies that help to efficiently separate and recycle hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) at the end of the refrigeration and air conditioning equipment life is a priority. The technological development is important to stimulate the F-gas capture, specifically difluoromethane (R-32) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), due to their high global warming potential. In this work, the COSMO-RS method is used to analyze the solute–solvent interactions and to determine Henry’s constants of R-32 and R-134a in more than 600 ionic liquids. The three most performant ionic liquids were selected on the basis of COSMO-RS calculations, and F-gas absorption equilibrium isotherms were measured using gravimetric and volumetric methods. Experimental results are in good agreement with COSMO-RS predictions, with the ionic liquid tributyl(ethyl)phosphonium diethyl phosphate, [P₂₄₄₄][C₂C₂PO₄], being the salt presenting the highest absorption capacities in molar and mass units compared to salts previously tested. The other two ionic liquids selected, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium glycinate, [P₆₆₆₁₄][C₂NO₂], and trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium 2-cyano-pyrrole, [P₆₆₆₁₄][CNPyr], may be competitive as far as their absorption capacities are concerned. Future works will be guided on evaluating the performance of these ionic liquids at an industrial scale by means of process simulations, in order to elucidate the role in process efficiency of other relevant absorbent properties such as viscosity, molar weight, or specific heat.

    Abstract Ovarian cancer (OC) is associated with poor survival because there are a limited number of effective therapies. Two processes key to OC progression, angiogenesis and immune evasion, act synergistically to promote tumor progression. Tumor-associated angiogenesis promotes immune evasion, and tumor-related immune responses in the peritoneal cavity and tumor microenvironment (TME) affect neovascular formation. Therefore, suppressing the angiogenic pathways could facilitate the arrival of immune effector cells and reduce the presence of myeloid cells involved in immune suppression. To date, clinical studies have shown significant benefits with antiangiogenic therapy as first-line therapy in OC, as well as in recurrent disease, and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor bevacizumab is now an established therapy. Clinical data with immunomodulators in OC are more limited, but suggest that they could benefit some patients with recurrent disease. The preliminary results of two phase III trials have shown that the addition of immunomodulators to chemotherapy does not improve progression-free survival. For this reason, it could be interesting to look for synergistic effects between immunomodulators and other active drugs in OC. Since bevacizumab is approved for use in OC, and is tolerable when used in combination with immunotherapy in other indications, a number of clinical studies are underway to investigate the use of bevacizumab in combination with immunotherapeutic agents in OC. This strategy seeks to normalize the TME via the anti-VEGF actions of bevacizumab, while simultaneously stimulating the immune response via the immunotherapy. Results of these studies are awaited with interest.

    Abstract Approximately 20-30% of endometrial carcinomas (EC) are characterized by mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency (dMMR) or microsatellite instability (MSI), and their testing has become part of the routine diagnosis. The aim of this study was to establish and compare the MMR status using various approaches. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), PCR-based MSI, and the detection of defects in the four key MMR genes (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6) via methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed. MSH3 expression was also evaluated. A set of 126 early-stage EC samples were analyzed, 53.2% of which were dMMR and 46.8% of which were proficient MMR (pMMR) as determined using IHC, whereas 69.3% were classified as microsatellite stable, while 8.8% and 21.9% were classified MSI-low (MSI-L) and MSI-high (MSI-H), respectively. In total, 44.3% of the samples showed genetic or epigenetic alterations in one or more genes; MLH1 promoter methylation was the most common event. Although acceptable concordance was observed, there were overall discrepancies between the three testing approaches, mainly associated with the dMMR group. IHC had a better correlation with MMR genomic status than the MSI status determined using PCR. Further studies are needed to establish solid conclusions regarding the best MMR assessment technique for EC.
