Article Abstract
Purpose: This analysis evaluated the influence of tissue and liquid biopsy concordance on outcomes in patients enrolled in the ROME Trial.
Experimental Design: The ROME trial, a phase II multicenter study, enrolled 1,794 patients with advanced solid tumors. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on tissue and liquid biopsies using FoundationOne CDx and FoundationOne Liquid CDx, A centralized Molecular Tumor Board (MTB) reviewed results to identify actionable alterations, with 400 patients randomized to tailored therapy (TT) or standard-of-care (SoC).TT improved objective response rate and progression-free survival (PFS) in the Intention to Treat population. Concordance was defined as the detection of the same druggable alteration in both biopsy types; discordance indicated detection in only one.
Results: Concordance was present in 49% of cases, with alterations detected exclusively in tissue (35%) or liquid (16%) biopsies. Patients in the concordant group receiving TT experienced improved survival outcomes. Median overall survival (OS) was 11.05 vs. 7.70 months in the SoC group (HR 0.74; 95% CI: 0.51-1.07), and median PFS was 4.93 vs. 2.80 months (HR 0.55; 95% CI: 0.40-0.76). In contrast, the survival benefit of TT was less pronounced or absent in patients with discordant results. OS was higher in the T+L group (11.05 months), followed by tissue-only (9.93 months), and liquid-only groups (4.05months). PFS followed a similar pattern, with the longest PFS in T+L group (4.93 months) vs 3.06 months in tissue-only and 2.07 months in liquid-only groups.
Conclusions: The study highlights the potential value of integrating both biopsy modalities in selected clinical contexts.

Attachment Dimensions and Infertility: Exploring Psychological Outcomes Through Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Marital Fam Ther

Department of Dynamic and Clinical Psychology, and Health Studies, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the role of romantic attachment as a protective or risk factor in how individuals cope with infertility diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. A systematic search was conducted across six databases from January 1, 2011, to February 3, 2025. Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria, exploring associations between romantic attachment and individual psychological correlates of infertility.

Background: Guidelines recommend leaving in situ rectosigmoid polyps diagnosed during colonoscopy that are 5 mm or smaller if the endoscopist optically predicts them to be non-neoplastic. However, no randomised controlled trial has been done to examine the efficacy and safety of this strategy.
Methods: This open-label, multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial enrolled adults age 18 years or older undergoing colonoscopy for screening, surveillance, or clinical indications across four Italian centres.
Managing relapses during or after adjuvant CDK4/6 inhibitors in HR-positive/HER2-negative early breast cancer: an emerging challenge.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i), such as abemaciclib and ribociclib, have recently been incorporated as adjuvant strategy in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) for patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer at higher risk of recurrence. However, despite a significant reduction in recurrence rates, a subset of patients still experiences distant metastatic spreading, with nearly 10% recurring during or shortly after adjuvant CDK4/6i completion, as observed in pivotal trials. To date, only one small retrospective study has described this emerging population while ongoing trials are not specifically addressing this scenario, leaving both the efficacy of postrelapse treatments and the biological background largely unknown.

Purpose: Patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) require mineralocorticoid replacement therapy in addition to glucocorticoids. These therapies should be considered in combination because most glucocorticoids also possess mineralocorticoid activity. We aimed to investigate the relationship between fludrocortisone and hydrocortisone-equivalent dosing in patients with PAI.

Introduction: To improve patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), retention of the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) is advocated.
Source Of Data: Recently published literature identified from PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Areas Of Agreement: TKA is routinely performed in patients with end-stage joint osteoarthritis, but 18% to 11% of patients are unsatisfied after surgery.
