What's New? Pancreatic cancer often is diagnosed at advanced stages. As a result, treatment regimens frequently are aggressive, with substantial side effects that impact quality of life (QoL). This study examined the treatment landscape, from neoadjuvant therapy to palliative care, in the context of QoL among pancreatic cancer patients in Germany. Most

Characteristics and overall survival in patients with T1 melanoma: A nationwide matched cohort study
What's New? Thin cutaneous malignant melanoma has an excellent ten‐year melanoma‐specific survival of 93%–97%. Moreover, the incidence of melanoma is higher among individuals with high socioeconomic status, which may protect them from other diseases. This nationwide matched cohort study found that patients with thin cutaneous malignant melanoma have a ...

What's New? Anti‐angiogenic drugs have shown promising efficacy as a second‐line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. However, it remains unclear how alterations in the tumor microenvironment following first‐line immunotherapy may impact tumor angiogenesis and influence subsequent therapeutic outcomes. This single‐arm study prospectively explored the

Pubertal timing and incident uterine cancer in the Sister Study cohort
What's New? Younger age at menarche is an established risk factor for uterine cancer. Age at onset of breast development (thelarche), the earliest marker of pubertal estrogen exposure unopposed by progesterone, may also be relevant to uterine cancer risk, but this association has not been explored. Using data from the US prospective Sister Study cohort,

What's New? In the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic, cancer reporting in the Nordic countries declined, presumably owing to delays in cancer diagnosis. How the pandemic impacted cancer survival in these countries, however, remains unclear. Using data from Nordic cancer registries that together include more than 27 million people, the authors of the ...
