Looking back on the history of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in lung cancer

Roy S. Herbst, Meina Wang, Katerina Politi

Abstract The discovery of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) represents a landmark achievement in biomedical science, laying the foundation for one of the most transformative success stories in oncology. From the early isolation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) by Stanley Cohen and colleagues to the cloning of EGFR and its identification as a receptor tyrosine kinase, these pioneering studies revealed its central role in cellular growth and proliferation and ultimately linked EGFR signalling to cancer. Ear …

The Africa We Want : A Perspective on the African Code Against Cancer To Be Developed for Sub‐Saharan Africa

Anthony Kityo, Phyllis Ohene‐Agyei, Felix M. Onyije, Hannah Simba, Annet Nakaganda, Denis Chopera, Kofi Mensah Nyarko, Benido Impouma, Mary Nyangasi, Blandina Mmbaga, Valerie McCormack, Cesaltina Lorenzoni, Miriam Mutebi, Joachim Schüz, Carolina Espina

ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a unique cancer burden, characterized by a disproportionately high mortality‐to‐incidence ratio, a large share of infection‐related cancers, and distinct environmental exposures. Implementation of national policies on primary prevention is limited, and public literacy regarding cancer risk and curability remains low. Furthermore, the implementation of existing prevention and treatment interventions is hindered by resource constraints and deeply rooted cultural beliefs. Thus, …

Efficacy of Methotrexate Treatment in Women with Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy, University Hospital, Tripoli, Libya

Noura Elawam

The use of methotrexate for the treatment of women with tubal ectopic pregnancies is now common practice. However, the clinical and hormonal determinants of the success of this treatment are not known. Methods: We studied 120 women with tubal ectopic pregnancies who were treated with methotrexate intramuscularly according to a single-dose protocol. Pretreatment serum concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone, the size and volume of the gestational mass, fetal cardiac activity, and the presence …

94 Outcome of patients with metastatic lung cancer presenting with synchronous brain metastases – A single centre; 5 year retrospective analysis

Harriet Hebbes, Sara Walters, Patrick Forster, Jillian Maclean, James Powell, Sahar Iqbal

Abstract Introduction Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with synchronous brain metastases (BM) impacts prognosis and therapeutic considerations. Up to 20% patients with NSCLC may develop BM. Clinical trials of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), neurosurgical resection and stereotactic radiosurgery outdate the recent advances in systemic therapy for NSCLC. Methods Retrospective data was collected on all patients with NSCLC who presented with synchronous BM between 2017-2022. This included demographics, his …

39 Barriers to participation in research: the experience of people with brain tumours

Clair Thorstensen-Woll, Marcus Cahill-Evans

Abstract Introduction Brain tumours remain the biggest cancer killer of people under 40, with minimal survival improvements over recent decades. Despite the critical role of research in advancing understanding, improving treatments and ultimately, patient outcomes, many people diagnosed with brain tumours experience significant barriers to participating in research activities such as clinical trials or tissue donation. This report explores the systemic and patient-centred barriers that hinder research participation …

167 Improving safe delivery of steroids and side effect management in brain tumour patients

Louise Dulley, Nicole Lingwood, Kim Grove, Seema Rawat

Abstract Background Dexamethasone’s role in improving tumour related oedema has been known for more than four decades. Unfortunately steroids come with numerous and well recognised side effects. In a busy clinic it is difficult to ensure they are monitored thoroughly, leading to a potentially serious toxicity such as vertebral fracture or weight gain, or life threatening side effects relating hyperglycaemia. Patients can also find it difficult to manage frequent dosing changes leading to accidental over or underdos …

Integrative feature-enhanced network model predicting prostate biopsy results in patients with negative MRI

Haoxin Zheng, Qi Miao, Alex Hung, Kai Zhao, Fabien Scalzo, Steven S. Raman, Kyunghyun Sung

Abstract Background According to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System, version 2.1 (PI-RADS v2.1), lesions with an intermediate or high level of suspicion (PI-RADS $$\ge$$ 3) typically undergo MRI-targeted biopsy, with or without systematic biopsies. However, among patients with negative multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) (PI-RADS < 3), there exists a current lack of consensus regarding the circumstances under which systematic biopsies should be performed, which leads to unnecessary biopsies and patient morbidi …

The Cancer-Related Experiences of Visible Minorities in Canada

Rishta Bhusal, Falaq Mansuri

Background: Cancer care is multifaceted, encompassing screening, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. While advances in research have led to improved cancer care experiences, social determinants of health influence health outcomes, revealing disparities among marginalized populations. Of note, visible minorities experience socio-contextual and systemic barriers to care. Despite increased attention to these inequities, relevant literature has not been synthesized, revealing a need for a comprehensive review. This …

25 Imaging Tumour-Associated Macrophages in Gliomas and Vestibular Schwannomas Using Ferumoxytol-Enhanced MRI

James Breese, Daniel Lewis, William Lloyd, Rainer Hinz, Andrew Tyler, Xiaoping Zhu, Ka-Loh Li, Bandar Alfaifi, Ibahim Djoukhadar, Andrew King, Alan Jackson, David Coope

Abstract Introduction Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a central role in brain tumour growth, immune evasion and therapeutic resistance, with a paucity of clinically translatable, non-invasive methods to assess TAM-related inflammation in vivo. One promising approach is ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (USPIO)-enhanced MRI. Ferumoxytol, a commercially available USPIO, is used off label as an MRI contrast agent and exhibits prolonged intravascular circulation prior to extravasation and s …

Praise as Pathway: Caregiver Language and Identity Construction in Pediatric Cancer Narratives

Isha Jayakumar, Hannah Taylor

This qualitative interpretive study examines how praise functions in pediatric cancer narratives, focusing on two caregiver-authored blogs, Dominic’s Journey with AML and Superman Sam. The analysis identifies a longitudinal progression in which praise evolves from process-focused coping language into heroic, communal, and elegiac identity framing across treatment, crisis, and loss. These findings extend developmental and clinical work on praise, mindset, and metaphor into the underexplored domain of pediatric recov …
