Article Abstract
Cardio-oncology was established with the aim of defining primary and secondary prevention approaches through surveillance and the use of tools to stratify and diminish the cardiovascular risk to cancer patients. This branch of medicine also contributes to establishing a new field in translational medicine for cardiovascular disease by focusing on the interplay between cancer and heart disease. In this first article in the new cardio-oncology section of the journal, we explore the main concepts of emerging anti-cancer therapies and their plausible cardiotoxic effects and we will describe advances and gaps in knowledge, highlighting how cardio-oncology is contributing to translational cardiology. We will speculate on the complex interplay between cancer and heart failure and discuss an emerging concept known as reverse cardio-oncology. We also present the perspective that cardio-oncology represents a promising platform area of research, allowing the discovery of novel pathways involved in cardiovascular disease through the identification of toxicities induced by targeted cancer therapies.

Systemic Delivery of an mRNA-Encoding, Tumor-Activated Interleukin-12 Lock to Eliminate Tumors and Avoid Immune-Related Adverse Events.

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a robust proinflammatory cytokine that activates immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells, to induce antitumor immunity. However, the clinical application of recombinant IL-12 has been limited by systemic immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and rapid degradation. To address these challenges, we employed mRNA technology to encode a tumor-activated IL-12 "lock" fusion protein that offers both therapeutic efficacy and systemic safety.

Importance: Antibiotics, steroids, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are suspected to decrease the efficacy of immunotherapy.
Objective: To explore the association of comedications with overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide retrospective cohort study used target trial emulations of patients newly diagnosed with NSCLC from January 2015 to December 2022, identified from the French national health care database.
Comparative Safety of JAK Inhibitors vs TNF Antagonists in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
JAMA Netw Open

Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla.
Importance: Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are highly effective medications for several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). However, safety concerns have led to regulatory restrictions.
Objective: To compare the risk of adverse events with JAK inhibitors vs tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists in patients with IMIDs in head-to-head comparative effectiveness studies.
Polyomavirus Antibodies for Merkel Cell Carcinoma Recurrence Detection.
JAMA Dermatol

Department of Dermatology, University of Washington, Seattle.
Importance: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is typically caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and recurs in 40% of patients. Half of patients with MCC produce antibodies to MCPyV oncoproteins, the titers of which rise with disease recurrence and fall after successful treatment.
Objective: To assess the utility of MCPyV oncoprotein antibodies for early detection of first recurrence of MCC in a real-world clinical setting.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are clinically beneficial but associated with high costs that represent a growing challenge for healthcare budgets and may affect affordability, especially in resource-limited settings. Moreover, the healthcare sector is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, and medication-related waste-such as that from vial-based therapies-has been identified as a contributing factor. Alternative dosing strategies could reduce the environmental and financial impact of ICI therapy while maintaining clinical safety and efficacy.
