Purpose: Patients with advanced, well-differentiated extrapancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNETs) have limited systemic treatment options. Pazopanib, an oral multikinase inhibitor with activity against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 and -3, PDGFR-alpha and-beta, and c-Kit, was tested for efficacy in epNET.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase II study of pazopanib (800 mg once daily) versus placebo in low- to intermediate-grade epNET with radiologic progressive disease (PD) within 12 months of study entry.

Thyroid gland fibrosarcomas are very rare tumors, with only very few cases have been reported in the literature. Their similarity to anaplastic thyroid cancer poses a diagnostic challenge, often leading to misdiagnosis. We report the case of an 87-year-old female with a history of left thyroid nodule who underwent a left lobectomy and subsequently, received levothyroxine therapy.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is considered as a risk factor for kidney cancer (KC). However, so far, there is no study in the literature that has explored genetic factors through which T2D drive the development and progression of KC. Therefore, this study attempted to explore T2D- and KC-causing shared key genes (sKGs) for revealing shared pathogenesis and therapeutic drugs as their common treatments.

Background: Trabectedin, which is approved for advanced soft tissue sarcoma management, has a complex mechanism of action, but can be classified as an alkylating agent. The need to maintain a high relative dose intensity (RDI) is not clearly established in this clinical setting.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in five expert centers to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced L-Sarcomas (liposarcomas or leiomyosarcoma) according to the RDI calculated over the first three cycles (RDI < 80% and RDI ≥ 80%).

Background: Pazopanib (PAZ) is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor used in the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Gastric acid suppressants such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) may reduce PAZ absorption by increasing gastric pH, potentially affecting its efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of concomitant use of acid suppressants on progression-free survival (PFS) and safety in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
