In neighbouring countries, oncologists are seeing a growing number of female refugees with breast cancer whose treatment may have started before they left Ukraine and urgently needs to be continued for good outcomes to be achieved.
In recent conflicts, good response to the health needs of refugees with cancer in receiving countries is consequence of an analysis of local cancer centres capacity and special measures to avoid fragmented care
Vaccination among cancer patients should not affect their participation in clinical trials and levels of acceptance of the vaccine are high
Despite age-specific difficulties, increased understanding of sarcoma biology is leading the way to the development of new treatment strategies
Proteomic research on sarcomas is only in its infancy, but it offers potential in terms of improved biological understanding, identification of new treatment targets and generating biomarkers for patient selection and prognosis prediction
Achieving clarity in levels of clinical evidence required by regulatory bodies is still a major obstacle to expediting research in the field, says Prof. Paolo G. Casali from the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, and the University of Milan, Italy
Thanks to remarkable advances, molecular analysis has taken central stage in the management of GIST, but there is still a need for less costly testing and further development of mitigation strategies to overcome resistance
2021 ESMO–EURACAN–GENTURIS–ERN PaedCan Clinical Practice Guidelines open the door to genetic testing but the search for new treatments continues
In practice, doxorubicin alone is often not used as the first-line standard of care for soft tissue sarcomas; however, a lack of high-quality survival data precludes other regimens becoming the gold standard
Oncologists are aiming to capitalise on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and design more inclusive clinical trials, optimise trial endpoints and make better use of real-world evidence.
