PurposeTo update recommendations of the ASCO systemic therapy for hormone receptor (HR)-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) guideline.MethodsAn Expert Panel conducted a systematic review to identify new, potentially practice-changing data.ResultsFifty-one articles met eligibility criteria and form the evidentiary basis for the recommendations.RecommendationsAlpelisib in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) should be offered to postmenopausal patients, and to male patients, with HR-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, PIK3CA-mutated, ABC, or MBC following prior endocrine therapy with or without a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor. Clinicians should use next-generation sequencing in tumor tissue or cell-free DNA in plasma to detect PIK3CA mutations. If no mutation is found in cell-free DNA, testing in tumor tissue, if available, should be used as this will detect a small number of additional patients with PIK3CA mutations. There are insufficient data at present to recommend routine testing for ESR1 mutations to guide therapy for HR-positive, HER2-negative MBC. For BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers with metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer, olaparib or talazoparib should be offered in the 1st-line through 3rd-line setting. A nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI) and a CDK4/6 inhibitor should be offered to postmenopausal women with treatment-naïve HR-positive MBC. Fulvestrant and a CDK4/6 inhibitor should be offered to patients with progressive disease during treatment with AIs (or who develop a recurrence within 1 year of adjuvant AI therapy) with or without one line of prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease, or as first-line therapy. Treatment should be limited to those without prior exposure to CDK4/6 inhibitors in the metastatic setting.Additional information can be found at www.asco.org/breast-cancer-guidelines.

Purpose: While limited resources can make high‐quality, comprehensive, coordinated cancer care provision challenging in rural settings, rural cancer patients often rely on local hospitals for care. To develop resources and strategies to support high‐quality local cancer care, it is critical to understand the current experiences of rural cancer care physicians, including perceived strengths and challenges of providing cancer care in rural areas. Methods: Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 13 cancer providers associated with all 12 non‐metropolitan/rural Iowa hospitals that diagnose or treat >100 cancer patients annually. Iterative thematic analysis was conducted to develop domains. Findings: Participants identified geographic proximity and sense of community as strengths of local care. They described decision‐making processes and challenges related to referring patients to larger centers for complex procedures, including a lack of dedicated navigators to facilitate and track transfers between institutions and occasional lack of respect from academic physicians. Participants reported a desire for strengthening collaborations with larger urban/academic cancer centers, including access to educational opportunities, shared resources and strategies to collect and monitor data on quality, and clinical trials. Conclusions: Rural cancer care providers are dedicated to providing high‐quality care close to home for their patients and would welcome opportunities to increase collaboration with larger centers to improve coordination and comprehensiveness of care, collect and monitor data on quality of care, and access continuing education opportunities. Further research is needed to develop implementation approaches that will extend resources, services, and expertise to rural providers to facilitate high‐quality cancer care for all cancer patients.

Background primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm which is associated with clonal molecular and cytogenetic abnormalities (CA) and varied clinical manifestations. While various CA have been previously described, t(15; 17) has not been reported in association with this condition. Case presentation A 69-year-old male presented with constitutional symptoms, cytopenias and bone marrow biopsy revealed immature blasts with fibrosis. Cytogenetic analysis showed a t(15;17) which initially suggested a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, flourescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) studies were negative for transcripts promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene and retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) or PML-RARA fusion. Along with these results, a second review of bone marrow histology, flowcytometry and the detection of a calreticulin gene (CALR) mutation helped with the correct diagnosis of PMF. Patient was then treated with ruxolitinib, a JAK (Janus kinase) 1 and 2 inhibitor, and eventually proceeded to receive a matched unrelated reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and has been doing well at the 6-month follow up. Conclusions Our case highlights two points, that the t(15;17) is diagnostic of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) in most cases, there are exceptions and it can be associated with other malignancies without causing any APL like features, as noted in this case. Also, that t(15; 17) by itself is never sufficient to diagnose APL without confirmation by other methods and relying solely on cytogenetics without timely confirmatory tests can lead to risks of delay in diagnosis and appropriate management.

According to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, more than 41.3 million people worldwide have been infected, and more than 1,133,000 people have died as of October 22, 2020. At present, there is no available vaccine and a scarcity of efficacious therapies. However, there is tremendous ongoing effort towards identifying effective drugs and developing novel vaccines. Early data from Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trials (ACTT) sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and compassionate use study have shown promise for remdesivir, leading to emergency authorization by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients. However, several randomized studies have now shown no benefit or increased adverse events associated with remdesivir treatment. Drug development is a time-intensive process and requires extensive safety and efficacy evaluations. In contrast, drug repurposing is a time-saving and cost-effective drug discovery strategy geared towards using existing drugs instead of de novo drug discovery. Treatments for cancer and COVID-19 often have similar goals of controlling inflammation, inhibiting cell division, and modulating the host microenvironment to control the disease. In this review, we focus on anti-cancer drugs that can potentially be repurposed for COVID-19 and are currently being tested in clinical trials.Keywords: COVID-19, drug-repurposing, anti-cancer drugs

Contributing to the worse prognosis in TNBC is the higher rates of relapse and rapid progression after relapse. Advances in targeted therapeutics and conventional chemotherapy for TNBC have been stymied due to the lack of specific targets. Moreover, the responses to chemotherapy in TNBC lack durability, partially accounting for the higher rates of relapse. Immunotherapy, notably immune-checkpoint blockade, has shown to improve survival and maintain robust antitumor responses in both hematologic and solid malignancies. Unlike lung cancer, melanoma, and bladder cancer, most breast cancers are not inherently immunogenic and typically have low T cell infiltration. However, among breast cancer subtypes, TNBC is characterized by greater tumor immune infiltrate and higher degree of stromal and intratumoral tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), a predictive marker for responses to immunotherapy. Moreover, in TNBC, the high number of stromal TILs is predictive of more favorable survival outcomes and response to chemotherapy. Immunotherapy is being extensively explored in TNBC and clinical trials are showing some promising results. This article focuses on the rationale for immunotherapy in TNBC, to explore and discuss preclinical data, results from early clinical trials, and to summarize some ongoing trials. We will also discuss the potential application of immunotherapy in TNBC from a clinician’s perspective.

Kalyan Nadiminti,1 Margarida Silverman,1 Sharathkumar Bhagavathi,2 Praveen Vikas11Division of Hematology and Blood and Marrow Transplantation, University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, Iowa City, IA, USA; 2Department of Pathology, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, IA, USABackground: primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm which is associated with clonal molecular and cytogenetic abnormalities (CA) and varied clinical manifestations. While various CA have been previously described, t(15; 17) has not been reported in association with this condition.Case presentation: A 69-year-old male presented with constitutional symptoms, cytopenias and bone marrow biopsy revealed immature blasts with fibrosis. Cytogenetic analysis showed a t(15;17) which initially suggested a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, flourescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) studies were negative for transcripts promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene and retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) or PML-RARA fusion. Along with these results, a second review of bone marrow histology, flowcytometry and the detection of a calreticulin gene (CALR) mutation helped with the correct diagnosis of PMF. Patient was then treated with ruxolitinib, a JAK (Janus kinase) 1 and 2 inhibitor, and eventually proceeded to receive a matched unrelated reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and has been doing well at the 6-month follow up.Conclusions: Our case highlights two points, that the t(15;17) is diagnostic of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) in most cases, there are exceptions and it can be associated with other malignancies without causing any APL like features, as noted in this case. Also, that t(15; 17) by itself is never sufficient to diagnose APL without confirmation by other methods and relying solely on cytogenetics without timely confirmatory tests can lead t

Rural cancer patients face many challenges in receiving care, including limited availability of cancer treatments and cancer support providers (oncologists, social workers, mental healthcare providers, palliative care specialists, etc), transportation barriers, financial issues, and limited access to clinical trials. Oncologists and other cancer care providers experience parallel challenges in delivering care to their rural cancer patients. Although no one approach fully addresses the many challenges of rural cancer care, a number of promising strategies and interventions have been developed that transcend the issues associated with long travel distances. These include outreach clinics, virtual tumor boards, teleoncology and other telemedicine applications, workforce recruitment and retention initiatives, and provider and patient education programs. Given the projected increase in demand for cancer care due to the aging population and increasing number of Americans with health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, expansion of these efforts and development of new approaches are critical to ensure access to high-quality care., Introduction One-fifth of the US population resides in rural areas, but only one-tenth of all physicians practice in rural areas.

Background: Late‐stage cancer diagnoses disproportionately occur in rural residents, frequently resulting in increased need for symptom management support with minimal access to these services. Oncology Associated Symptoms and Individualized Strategies (OASIS) is an eHealth symptom self‐management intervention that was developed to provide cancer symptom self‐management support and address this disparity. Purpose: To engage stakeholders about the symptom management needs and concerns of patients with advanced cancer living in rural areas. Methods: A 3‐phased, mixed‐methods design was used to (1) assess stakeholder needs and opinions; (2) develop a symptom self‐management website; and (3) obtain usability feedback from potential users. Interviews with stakeholders (patients and clinic staff) from rural areas using a descriptive qualitative approach were analyzed; cross‐cutting themes were identified; a symptom management web application was developed; and stakeholders completed a 12‐item usability survey about the web application. Results: Patients (n = 16) and clinical staff (n = 10) participated in phase 1. Three major themes were identified: "symptom experience," "symptom management," and "technology." Through an iterative process using these results and evidence from the literature, the OASIS web application was developed. Usability testing with N = 126 stakeholders demonstrated that the web application is easy to use, contains relevant content, and has pleasing graphics. No differences were found among patients, family/friends, and staff. Both frequent and infrequent internet users positively evaluated the web application. Conclusions: Rural stakeholders report significant symptom management needs, are interested in eHealth technologies, and perceived OASIS positively. Future research is needed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of OASIS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Simple Summary: Estrogens regulate key physiological functions in the human body, including the development of female reproductive organs. However, dysregulated estrogen signaling—mainly mediated by estrogen receptors (ER)—is associated with many developmental, mental, and other diseases, including cancer. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that estrogen modulates inflammatory processes within many tissues. In addition to estrogens made within the body, humans are also constantly exposed to many outside estrogens, naturally occurring in plants and those artificially synthesized in industries. Here, we will also discuss the link between chronic exposure to environmental estrogens with tissue inflammation and breast cancer development. The oncogenic role of estrogen receptor (ER) signaling in breast cancer has long been established. Interaction of estrogen with estrogen receptor (ER) in the nucleus activates genomic pathways of estrogen signaling. In contrast, estrogen interaction with the cell membrane-bound G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) activates the rapid receptor-mediated signaling transduction cascades. Aberrant estrogen signaling enhances mammary epithelial cell proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis, hence is an important step towards breast cancer initiation and progression. Meanwhile, a growing number of studies also provide evidence for estrogen's pro- or anti-inflammatory roles. As other articles in this issue cover classic ER and GPER signaling mediated by estrogen, this review will discuss the crucial mechanisms by which estrogen signaling influences chronic inflammation and how that is involved in breast cancer. Xenoestrogens acquired from plant diet or exposure to industrial products constantly interact with and alter innate estrogen signaling at various levels. As such, they can modulate chronic inflammation and breast cancer development. Natural xenoestrogens generally have anti-inflammatory properties, which is consistent with their chemoprotective role in breast cancer. In contrast, synthetic xenoestrogens are proinflammatory and carcinogenic compounds that can increase the risk of breast cancer. This article also highlights important xenoestrogens with a particular focus on their role in inflammation and breast cancer. Improved understanding of the complex relationship between estrogens, inflammation, and breast cancer will guide clinical research on agents that could advance breast cancer prevention and therapy.

- Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a very heterogeneous and aggressive breast cancer subtype with a high risk of mortality, even if diagnosed early. The mainstay of early-stage breast cancer includes systemic chemotherapy and surgery, with or without radiation therapy. More recently, immunotherapy is approved to treat TNBC, but managing immune-rated adverse events while balancing efficacy is a challenge. The purpose of this review is to highlight the current treatment recommendations for early-stage TNBC and the management of immunotherapy toxicities.
