CONCLUSIONS: Early impressions indicate that African-American breast cancer patients have an overall excellent knowledge of cancer screening and treatment, not correlated with socioeconomic or educational status, except treatment toxicity knowledge. Future education initiatives should focus on treatment toxicity to optimize patient awareness before adjuvant breast cancer RT.

CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate a strong correlation between individual FT and familial FT, warranting further investigation into the interconnected impacts on patients and caregivers to better address financial toxicity in cancer care.

Multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable malignancy of plasma cells, is predominantly an age-related disease, with the majority of cases occurring in patients over the age of 60. Cellular senescence, a fundamental biological process underlying aging, has been increasingly recognized for its critical role in developing age-related malignancies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of genes implicated in the molecular mechanisms of senescence within a large cohort of MM...

Patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) have poor clinical outcomes, owing mainly to the presence of therapy-resistant cancer stem cells (CSCs). The NCT03949283 randomized clinical trial enrolled patients with recurrent PROC to receive ChemoID-guided chemotherapy or the best physician-choice regimen selected from the same list of thirteen mono or combination chemotherapies. The primary outcome was objective response rate (ORR) assessed on CT scans using the RECIST 1.1...
