Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte Therapy Combined With PD‐1/LAG‐3 Inhibition in Patients With Recurrent Platinum‐Resistant Ovarian Cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
The detection of tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is a positive prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. Moreover, TILs are significantly boosted by immunotherapy, though ovarian cancer patients have seen limited benefit from immune therapies. This study investigated the safety and feasibility of TIL therapy combined with PD‐1 and LAG‐3 inhibitors in ...

Adverse Health Events in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Patients Treated With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors 2009–2019: A Real‐World Study From the UK's Haematological Malignancy Research Network

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) outcome, long‐term effects remain unclear, particularly in real‐world settings. Here, the authors examined morbidity and mortality in CML patients treated with TKIs between 2009 and 2019 in the United Kingdom.

Postoperative Weight Gain, Due to Fluid Retention After Ovarian Cancer Surgery—How Much Is too Much?

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Postoperative complications after cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer patients are associated with impaired survival. Here, we investigated the association between postoperative weight gain due to fluid retention and the development of complications and anastomotic leakage (AL).
