The effect of psychosocial interventions for sexual health in patients with pelvic cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
DISCUSSION: There is limited research on psychosocial interventions for sexual health in pelvic cancer patients. There are also limitations in the different pelvic cancer diagnoses examined. Commonly, the included articles examined physical function rather than the whole sexual health spectrum. The small effect sizes may in part be due to evaluation of psychosocial interventions by measuring physical dysfunction. Future research should broaden sexual health assessment tools and expand investigations to more cancer types.PMID:38682457 | DOI:10.2340/1651-226X.2024.24204 (Source: Acta Oncologica)

Doses to the right coronary artery and the left anterior descending coronary artery and death from ischemic heart disease after breast cancer radiotherapy: a case-control study in a population-based cohort
Acta Oncol. 2024 Apr 29;63:240-247. doi: 10.2340/1651-226X.2024.19677.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Doses to the coronary arteries in breast cancer (BC) radiotherapy (RT) have been suggested to be a risk predictor of long-term cardiac toxicity after BC treatment. We investigated the dose-risk relationships between near maximum doses (Dmax) to the right coronary artery (RCA) and left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality after BC RT.PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a cohort of 2,813 women diagnosed with BC between 1958 and 1992 with a follow-up of at least 10 years, we identified 134...

Survival prediction in patients with gynecological cancer irradiated for brain metastases
Acta Oncol. 2024 Apr 21;63:206-212. doi: 10.2340/1651-226X.2023.34899.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This large population-based, retrospective, single-center study aimed to identify prognostic factors in patients with brain metastases (BM) from gynecological cancers.MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred and forty four patients with BM from gynecological cancer treated with radiotherapy (RT) were identified. Primary cancer diagnosis, age, performance status, number of BM, presence of extracranial disease, and type of BM treatment were assessed. Overall survival (OS) was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox pro...

Gender Difference in sidE eFfects of ImmuNotherapy: a possible clue to optimize cancEr tReatment (G-DEFINER): study protocol of an observational prospective multicenter study
Acta Oncol. 2024 Apr 21;63:213-219. doi: 10.2340/1651-226X.2024.24179.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly improved outcomes in various cancers. ICI treatment is associated with the incidence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) which can affect any organ. Data on irAEs occurrence in relation to sex- differentiation and their association with gender-specific factors are limited.AIMS: The primary objective of the G-DEFINER study is to compare the irAEs incidence in female and male patients who undergo ICI treatment. Secondary objectives are: to compare the irAEs incidence in pre- an...

Increased cancer incidence among patients with hidradenitis suppurativa - a Danish nationwide register study 1977-2017
Acta Oncol. 2024 Apr 21;63:220-228. doi: 10.2340/1651-226X.2024.26182.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The chronic, inflammatory skin disease hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) (prevalence: 0.5%-1%, diagnostic delay: 7-10 years) primarily arises in younger adults and frequently coincides with autoimmune comorbidities and unhealthy life-styles (smoking and obesity). These factors are known to increase cancer risk, but despite this, information on cancer occurrence among HS patients is scarce.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A nationwide retrospective register-based study assessing relative risk of cancer - overall and by anatomical site - following HS...
