14). The AUROCs of the RRC Model and 3D-CNN Model in the validation set were 0.887 (95% CI 0.797-0.947) and 0.906 (95% CI 0.821-0.960), respectively (p = 0.83). Based on the MVI status predicted by the RRC and 3D-CNN Models, the mean recurrence-free survival (RFS) was significantly better in the predicted MVI-negative group than that in the predicted MVI-positive group (RRC Model 69.95 vs. 24.80months, p < 0.001; 3D-CNN Model 64.06 vs. 31.05months, p = 0.027).

The RRC Model and 3D-CNN models showed considerable efficacy in identifying MVI preoperatively. These machine learning models may facilitate decision-making in HCC treatment but requires further validation.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced SCLC.

We searched published randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the effect of ICIs combined with chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone on SCLC. The extracted data included the number of people who achieved an objective response rate (ORR), the disease control rate (DCR), the hazard ratio (HR) of progression-free survival (PFS), and the overall survival (OS) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).

Six RCTs involving 2477 patients were included. Compared with chemotherapy alone, patients receiving an ICI combined with chemotherapy had a significantly longer PFS (HR, 0.91; 95% CI 0.88-0.95, p < 0.00001) and OS (HR 0.92; 95% CI 0.89-0.96, p = 0.0001). The ORR increased, but the difference was not statistically significant (RR 1.05; 95% CI 0.99-1.12, p = 0.13). There was no significant difference in the DCR between the two treatment regimens; however, in patients treated with an ICI, fatigue, rashes, diarrhea, and elevated aminotransferase enzymes were significantly increased (p < 0.05).

ICI combined with chemotherapy is superior to chemotherapy alone with respect to PFS and OS in patients with advanced SCLC.

The phase III COLUMBA study evaluated daratumumab (DARA) intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Here, we report patient-reported satisfaction with therapy (SWT) in COLUMBA.

DARA IV or DARA SC was administered weekly (cycles 1-2), every 2weeks (cycles 3-6), and every 4weeks (cycles 7 +). Patients completed a modified version of the Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ) at weekly (cycles 1-2) and monthly (cycles 3 +) intervals and at the end of treatment. Results for each item and the SWT domain score were summarized using descriptive statistics. The distribution of responses for individual items was calculated for each assessment. The proportion of patients for whom SWT domain score change from first assessment met or exceeded the minimally important difference (MID) of 5.9 points was calculated at each assessment time point.

Two-hundred fifty-nine patients were randomized to DARA IV and 263 to DARA SC. Mean scores for SWT domain questions were high and largely positive during treatment. Responses indicating positive perceptions of therapy were given by a numerically greater proportion of patients in the DARA SC group than the DARA IV group for most questions. Changes from the first assessment in SWT domain scores met or exceeded the MID for an average of ~ 40% of patients.

In COLUMBA, modified CTSQ results suggest patients in the DARA SC group were more satisfied with their cancer therapy than those in the DARA IV group.

The clinical impact of abutment to an artery and its branch on resectability and prognosis in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer is unclear.

Patients diagnosed with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer due to artery abutment between April 2012 and December 2018 were enrolled. Contact between arteries and the tumour was assessed by computed tomography (CT).

A primary lesion was resected in 63 patients (R group) and unresected in 19 patients (UR group). Overall survival (OS) was worse in the UR group than in the R group (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that abutment to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) branches (P = 0.001) was an independent predictor of poor OS after surgery. Regarding the initial recurrence pattern, abutment to the SMA branches was significantly associated with high incidence of distant metastasis (P < 0.001). According to the most distal SMA branch attached on CT, significant differences in RFS were found between absent-J1A (P = 0.017), J2A-J3A (P = 0.0313) and J3A-middle colic artery (MCA, P = 0.0476) but not between J1A-J2A (P = 0.8207). Significant prognostic differences in OS after initiation of the treatment were found between absent-J1A/J2A (P = 0.006) and J1A/J2A-J3A/MCA (P = 0.033) but not between J3A/MCA-UR (P = 0.494).

Abutment to the SMA branches was associated with high incidence of distant metastasis after resection and a poor survival. Especially, abutment to the J3A or MCA was associated with poor prognosis comparable with that of the UR group.

In the United States, colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and surveillance is recommended until age 75. However, rates of surgery for CRC are greatest in the elderly, questioning current guidelines. Tumor sidedness is an emerging prognostic marker that may help guide screening and treatment decisions, with specific benefit evaluating CRC anatomic distribution in the elderly. Our objective was to investigate the anatomical distribution of CRC in the elderly and factors associated with right-sidedness.

The National Cancer Database (2004-2016) was used to identify elderly patients with CRC. BAY-1816032 Cases were stratified by tumor sidedness and elderly subgroups 65-74, 75-84, and ≥ 85years of age, and further categorized by primary site. Multivariate analysis identified factors associated with CRC right-sidedness. The outcomes were CRC sidedness in the elderly, the anatomic distribution by age group, and factors associated with right-sidedness.

There were 508,219 colorectal cancer patients aged over 65years identified, 54% of whom had a right-sided cancer.
