Objetivo: Conocer la eficacia o utilidad de la terapia de pareja en casos donde uno de los miembros de la pareja padece cáncer. Así como conocer en qué casos o en qué momentos puede ser más útil este tipo de terapia. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en las bases de datos electrónicas: Scopus, Pubmed y PsycInfo, utilizándose palabras clave, tales como: Couple sex therapy, Cancer, Breast cancer, Prostate cancer, Couple psychological therapy, Intimacy, Clinical trial y Efficacy; y sus múltiples combinaciones. Se han incluido artículos en inglés de entre los años 2007 y 2019. Resultados: Los 11 estudios seleccionados únicamente trataban de cáncer de mama y próstata y la mayoría de ellos se lleva a cabo con una media relativamente pequeña. La mayoría de los tratamientos se aplica desde la corriente cognitivo-conductual y existen mejores resultados si el tratamiento está manualizado. En los casos de cáncer de próstata se trata con más normalidad aspectos relacionados con la sexualidad que en casos de cáncer de mama. Se observan mayores mejoras en cáncer de próstata ya que tienen que ver con aspectos sexuales además de psicológicos (pese a que con tiempo se pierdan dichas mejoras). Conclusiones: Se aprecia eficacia inicial en lo que a satisfacción de la relación y problemas sexuales en la pareja se refiere, pero estos resultados no se mantienen a lo largo del tiempo. Por lo que en general hablaríamos de una eficacia real baja.

Objective To evaluate the impact of the “Movember” awareness campaign (men’s health campaign that takes place every November) on internet search trends for information online about prostate cancer and to compare the results with those for “Pinktober” (the breast cancer awareness campaign that takes place in October) in the Spanish language as an indirect measure of its effectiveness. Methods Google Trends was used to evaluate the monthly relative search volumes (RSV) of the terms “cáncer de próstata” (prostate cancer), “cáncer de mama” (breast cancer), and “Movember” from January 2009 to December 2019 both in Spain and worldwide (in the Spanish language). Breast cancer was used as a comparator of the campaign impact. Mean increase in RSV on-campaign and off-campaign was calculated and compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and Joinpoint regression analysis to assess loss or gain of interest. Results The term “cáncer de próstata” showed a statistically significant increase during the campaign months both in Spain (17.4%; P < 0.001) and worldwide (35.4%; P < 0.001). Both “cáncer de próstata” and Movember showed a decreasing trend worldwide and in Spain, while “cáncer de mama” showed an increasing trend. Conclusion The Movember campaign generates a statistically significant increase in the search trends on “cancer de próstata” (prostate cancer) during the month of November (both in Spain and worldwide); when compared with the breast cancer campaign “Pinktober” these increases are of a lesser magnitude but still significant, suggesting that the campaign is effective beyond the English language, although the interest has been decreasing throughout the years.

Background and Objective. Selenoprotein P (SEPP1) is the major selenoprotein in plasma. Previous studies have demonstrated that SEPP1 expression was reduced in human prostate and colon tumors. Nowadays, studies concerning SEPP1 gene polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility have been extensively investigated, whereas results from these studies remain debatable rather than conclusive. Thus, we performed the present meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the association between two common polymorphisms (rs3877899 and rs7579) in SEPP1 and cancer susceptibility. Method. We search the PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Wanfang (China) databases (up to December 1, 2020) to identify all eligible publications. The pooled odds ratio (OR) correspondence with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated to evaluate the associations. Results. Finally, nine eligible studies with 7,157 cases and 6,440 controls and five studies with 2,278 cases and 2,821 controls were enrolled in rs3877899 and rs7579 polymorphisms, individually. However, a null significant association was detected between the two polymorphisms in SEPP1 and susceptibility to colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer in all comparison models. Subsequently, subgroup analysis based on tumor type, no significant association was identified for prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer. In addition, when the stratification analyses were conducted by the source of control, HWE status, and ethnicity, yet no significant association was found. Conclusions. The current meta-analysis shows that SEPP1 rs3877899 and rs7579 polymorphisms may not be associated with susceptibility to colon cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer, and further well-designed studies with a larger sample size are warranted to validate our findings.

Introdução: O câncer de mama pode alterar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde das pacientes. Objetivo: Compreender o impacto da quimioterapia para câncer de mama na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pacientes. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, compreendendo artigos publicados entre 2007 e 2019, disponíveis nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Analisaram-se 25 artigos na íntegra. Resultados: Os questionários mais frequentemente utilizados nos estudos foram o European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) e o módulo complementar European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-BR23). Em relação às alterações da qualidade de vida, a saúde global diminui durante a quimioterapia, mas pode melhorar após o término do tratamento. O aumento dos sintomas é relatado em diversos estudos e prejudicou a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde das pacientes. Entretanto, os sintomas diminuem após o término da quimioterapia, exceto para algumas escalas. As escalas de imagem corporal, função sexual e funcionamento físico pioram ao longo do tratamento. A qualidade de vida mental/psicológica tem oscilações durante o tratamento, assim como a escala sobre as relações sociais. Conclusão: A qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de mulheres com câncer de mama é afetada negativamente pelo tratamento quimioterápico, expressando maior impacto nas escalas de sintomas.

11053 Background: There are currently no effective methods for predicting, preventing, or treating chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. We performed a genome-wide association study in a clinical trial of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) to discover variants that may be useful for identifying patients at high risk of neuropathy during docetaxel treatment. Methods: Treatment and toxicity data were collected prospectively on the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 90401 trial of chemotherapy naïve CRPC patients treated with docetaxel and prednisone ± bevacizumab. Genotyping was performed by the RIKEN Institute using the Illumina HumanHap610-Quad platform. Genetically defined European subjects were included in the discovery analysis of all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that passed quality control. The primary endpoint was the cumulative dose level triggering a grade 3+ sensory neuropathy. The inference was conducted within the framework of a competing risk model accounting for early treatment termination induced by death or progression, or other toxicities. SNPs that were highly associated with neuropathy were assessed for a broader taxane effect in a cohort of paclitaxel-treated patients from a breast cancer clinical trial, CALGB 40101. Results: 623 Caucasian patients and 498,022 SNPs were included in the discovery analysis. The incidence of grade 3 neuropathy was 8%. One intergenic SNP (rs11017056) was associated with increased risk of neuropathy (HR=2.83, p=4.7x10-7). This association surpassed the genome-wide significance threshold after covariate adjustment (p=7.2x10-8). However, none of the 7 SNPs selected for replication were associated with neuropathy in the paclitaxel-treated breast cancer cohort. Conclusions: Using a prospectively enrolled prostate cancer patient cohort we identified multiple SNPs that may identify risk of docetaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, but not paclitaxel-induced neuropathy. However, since it is unknown whether the genetic factors that affect taxane neuropathy are drug-specific, further replication studies in docetaxel-treated cohorts are of great interest.

520 Background: Observational studies of dietary fat intake and breast cancer have inconsistent findings. To address this issue, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Dietary Modification (DM) clinical trial assessed a low-fat dietary pattern influence on breast cancer incidence and outcome. Methods: The WHI DM trial is a randomized, controlled clinical trial conducted at 40 US centers, where 48,835 postmenopausal women, aged 50-79 years, with no previous breast cancer and dietary fat intake ≥32% of total energy, were randomly assigned, from 1993-1998, to a usual diet comparison group (60%) or dietary intervention group (40%) with goals to reduce fat intake to 20% of energy and increase vegetables, fruit, and grain intake. This study is registered as: NCT00000611. Results: The dietary intervention significantly reduced fat intake; increased fruit, vegetable and grain intake with modest weight loss (3%) (all P< 0.001). During 8.5 years of dietary intervention, there were 8% fewer breast cancers and deaths from breast cancer were somewhat lower in the intervention group but the rates were not significantly different. However, deaths after breast cancer (breast cancer followed by death from any cause) were significantly reduced in the intervention group, both during intervention (hazard ratio [HR] 0·65 95% confidence interval [CI] 0·45-0·95) and through 16.1 year (median) cumulative follow-up. Now, after long- term, cumulative 19.6 year (median) follow-up, with 3,374 incident breast cancers, the significant reduction in deaths after breast cancer continued (with 1,011 deaths, HR 0·85 95% CI 0·74-0·96) and a significant reduction in deaths from breast cancer (breast cancer followed by death attributed to the breast cancer) emerged (with 383 deaths, HR 0·79 95% CI 0·64-0·97). Conclusions: Adoption of a low-fat dietary pattern associated with increased vegetable, fruit, and grain intake, demonstrably achievable by many, significantly reduced the risk of death from breast cancer in postmenopausal women. To our review, these findings provide the first randomized clinical trial evidence that a dietary change can reduce a postmenopausal woman’s risk of dying from breast cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT00000611.

Personalized medicine (PM) is currently a hot topic in the professional world. It is often called the medicine of the future and has already achieved resounding success in the area of targeted therapy. Nevertheless, integration of the concepts of PM into routine clinical practice is slow. This review is intended to give an overview of current and potential applications of PM in oncology. PM could soon play a decisive role, especially in screening. The relevance of PM in screening was examined in the case of four common cancers (colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer). A literature search was performed. This showed that biomarkers in particular play a crucial role in screening. In summary, it can be emphasized that there are already numerous known promising biomarkers in malignant disease. This results in several possibilities for individualizing and revolutionizing screening.

Background: CYP24A1 polymorphisms may affect predisposition of cancer, but the results of published studies remain inconclusive. Therefore, the authors conducted this meta-analysis to more robustly assess relationships between CYP24A1 polymorphisms and the predisposition of cancer by pooling the findings of published studies. Materials and methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang, and CNKI was endorsed by the authors to identify eligible studies; 17 studies were finally found to be eligible for pooled meta-analysis. Results: The pooled meta-analysis results showed that genotypic frequencies of the rs4809960 polymorphism among cancerous patients and controls of Caucasian ethnicity differed significantly, and genotypic frequencies of the rs6022999 polymorphism among cancerous patients and controls of Asian ethnicity also differed significantly. Moreover, we found that genotypic frequencies of the rs2585428 polymorphism among patients with prostate cancer and controls differed significantly, and genotypic frequencies of the rs6068816 polymorphism among patients with prostate cancer/breast cancer and controls also differed significantly. Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that the rs4809960 polymorphism may affect the predisposition of cancer in Caucasians, and the rs6022999 polymorphism may affect the predisposition of cancer in Asians. Moreover, the rs2585428 polymorphism may affect the predisposition of prostate cancer, while the rs6068816 polymorphism may affect the predisposition of prostate cancer and breast cancer.

Abstract: New drugs introduced on the market each year have privileged structures specifically for anticancer targets, of which quinoline-based analogues also play an important role. This review lit up quinoline and its derivatives, which have great potency against various cancer cells including prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, pancreas cancer and many more. This review describes the most likely process-scale synthetic approaches of quinoline and its derivatives having specific pharmacophore, for anticancer targets along. It is also described the undergoing development and recently approved drugs in tabular form. Quinoline moiety as privileged structural pharmacophore has most effective activity against different cancer cell lines like prostate cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, pancreas cancer, Colon cancer, CNS cancer and renal cancer. Because of this advantage, it has the potency to grow with new research works about the anticancer as well as enhancing the value of the investigative process in the field of medicinal chemistry by introducing new effective alignments of substituents. It can be used as lead compounds for further research in the subject of anticancer drug discovery.
