Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are multiple neoadjuvant regimens, including platinum agents for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), each with a different safety profile, outcome, and pathologic complete response rate (pCR%). We performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of different platinum-based neoadjuvant CT treatments for TNBC. METHODS Bibliographic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were searched from their inception to October 31, 2022. Eligible studies were randomized clinical trials that evaluated the addition of carboplatin or cisplatin to standard neoadjuvant CT for TNBC. The primary endpoints were pCR rates and DFS/EFS, while the secondary endpoints were grade (G)3-4 hematological toxicity and OS. RESULTS Thirteen trials involving 3154 patients comparing six treatments (carboplatin AUC 5, carboplatin AUC 6, carboplatin AUC 2, carboplatin AUC 1.5, cisplatin 75 mg/m2, and standard anthracycline-and/or taxane-based CT) were identified. Based on the most effective treatments added to neoadjuvant CT, carboplatin AUC 2 was associated with the least improvement in pCR% (RR, 1.49; 95%CI, 1.23, 1.8), carboplatin AUC 6 was associated with similar improvement in pCR% (RR 1.58, 95%CI, 1.35, 1.84) and carboplatin AUC 5 with the highest improvement in pCR% (RR 2.23, 95%CI, 1.6,32). The treatment associated with the most considerable improvement in DFS when added to neoadjuvant CT was carboplatin AUC 5 (HR 0.36, 95%CI 0.18, 0.73). It was also better than AUC 6 and AUC 2 (HR= 0.45, 95%CI 0.21-0.96 and HR=0.48, 95%CI 0.23-0.98). All schedules exhibited similar outcomes in terms of OS; however, only AUC 2 demonstrated a significant improvement compared to the no-platinum arms. Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia G3-4 were significantly increased by carboplatin AUC 6. CONCLUSIONS Based on this network meta-analysis, carboplatin AUC 5 added to standard neoadjuvant CT may provide substantial pCR and DFS benefits with a low toxicity risk compared to other carboplatin doses.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Currently, the standard treatment for non-metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) consists of a systemic neoadjuvant (or perioperative) anthracycline plus taxane-based chemotherapy, delivered either sequentially or concomitantly. We performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the relative efficacy of different neoadjuvant treatments for TNBC in terms of pathologic complete response (pCR). Materials and Methods: The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched from database inception to 1 November 2023. Randomized clinical trials were used that enrolled adults with stage I-III TNBC and provided data on pCR defined as residual ypT0/TisN0M0. Between-group comparisons were estimated using risk ratios (RRs) with 95% credible intervals (95% CrIs). The primary outcome was the pCR rate. Results: 1129 citations were screened, and 12 randomized clinical trials were included. In Bayesian comparisons, all regimens, except anthracycline/taxanes plus gemcitabine or capecitabine, resulted in a higher pCR than the standard regimen in both direct and indirect comparisons. In particular, immunotherapy-based regimens resulted in more than double the pCR compared to historical regimens (RR = 2.3, 95% CI 1.9-2.9) and ranked as being the optimal regimen with a probability of 97%. Disease-free survival was better for immune checkpoint inhibitor-based chemotherapy (HR = 0.36, 95% 1.21-2.09) than for historical regimens. Conclusion: This meta-analysis confirmed that incorporating immunotherapy with neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy is the best option to guarantee remarkable pathologic downstaging and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Patients whose tumours harbour epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) driver mutations can benefit most from treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Most trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) included few patients whose tumour had oncogenic driver alterations. We therefore performed a meta-analysis of studies reporting the activity of ICIs in oncogene addicted NSCLC. A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library and EMBASE was conducted to identify relevant studies published up to 31 January 2021. The primary outcomes were median overall survival (OS); the secondary endpoints were progression-free survival and overall response rate (PFS and ORR). Overall, 46 studies were screened and selected for final analysis. The pooled ORR was 14.5% (95% CI 9.6-21.2%). The median pooled PFS in EGFR/ALK mutated cases was 3.9 months (95% CI 3-5.2 months). Median pooled OS was 10.7 months (95% CI 9.2-12.5 months). All registration trials in second line did not show any benefit of immunotherapy for the subgroup of patients with EGFR-mutated or ALK-rearranged tumours. The unsatisfied benefit of immunotherapy in oncogene-addicted tumours has been debated and is mainly due to the lower mutation burden of these neoplasms. Our data do not support the use of immunotherapy in the setting of oncogene actionable tumours. More data are needed to confirm or reject the benefit of the combination of TKIs with ICIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Low human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression (HER2-low: 1+/2+ by immunohistochemistry without HER2 amplification) is emerging as defining a specific breast cancer (BC) subgroup owing to its distinct biological features. However, its prognostic role has not been confirmed in clinical practice. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the prognostic role of HER2-low status in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) early BC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for prospective or retrospective studies that reported data on overall (OS) or disease-free (DFS) survival for HER2-low compared to HER2-negative BC. Data were pooled using hazard ratios (HR) with confidence intervals (CI) for OS/DFS of HER2-low vs. HER2-negative subgroups according to the random-effects model. OS was the primary outcome measure, and DFS and pathological complete response were the secondary endpoints. RESULTS An analysis was made of 25 studies collected, including 34,965 patients with HER2-low BC. A HER2-low status was associated with an HR for OS of 0.83 (95% CI=0.76-0.9, p<0.0.01). Similarly, a pooled HR of 0.89 (95% CI=0.840.94, p<0.0.01) showed that patients with HER2-low BC had an increased DFS. Pathological complete response was significantly lower in HER2-low BC in 13 studies (OR=0.72, 95% CI=0.58-0.91; p<0.01). CONCLUSION Based on these data, HER2-low status should be identified as a potential prognostic factor in early stage ER+ BC. This should be taken into account when considering treatment in (neo)adjuvant settings, and it should be a potential stratification factor in future investigations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have an extremely important impact on the treatment of hormone-sensitive breast cancer (BC) and have radically changed the first-line treatment for metastatic disease with increased rates of treatment response, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). We performed a pooled analysis of randomized trials to validate or refute the hypothesis that there is a significant survival benefit of adding anti-CDK4/6 inhibitors to standard endocrine therapy (ET) in older patients with advanced BC. METHODS We selected only English-language phase II/III randomized controlled trials that compared ET alone with ET with anti-CDK4/6 inhibitors in the treatment of advanced BC, with subgroups reporting the outcomes of elderly patients (usually at least 65 years). The primary endpoint was OS. RESULTS The review process led to the inclusion of 12 articles and two meeting abstracts, including a total of 10 trials. The addition of CDK4/6 inhibitors to ET (letrozole or fulvestrant) significantly reduced mortality risk by 20% in younger patients (fixed-effect model; HR 0.80; 95% CI 0.72-0.9; p < 0.01) and 21% in older BC patients (HR 0.79; 95% CI 0.69-0.91; p < 0.01). No OS data were available for patients ≥70 years. CONCLUSION This large, pooled analysis is the first to demonstrate that CDK4/6 inhibitors confer OS and PFS benefits in elderly patients (those aged ≥65 years) with advanced ER + BC and to indicate that it should be discussed with and offered to all patients after geriatric assessment and according to the toxicity profile.

Abstract
The current standard of care for resected early-stage triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients who did not receive systemic preoperative therapy is adjuvant anthracycline- and taxane-based chemotherapy (CT). A network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials (phase III) enrolling patients with resected stage I-III TNBC comparing adjuvant regimens was performed. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) data were extracted. A total of 27 phase III clinical trials were selected including 15,242 TNBC patients. This NMA showed an OS benefit from the incorporation of capecitabine into classic anthracycline/taxane-based combinations compared to anthracyclines with or without taxanes alone.

Abstract
Introduction: The outbreak of COVID-19 poses an unprecedented challenge to global public health. Patients with cancer are at a higher risk during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Patients with lung cancer and COVID-19 were compared to those without cancer and those with other malignancies for the main outcome of this study. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in susceptibility, disease severity, and mortality between lung cancer patients and the general population. Methods: Using PRISMA reporting guidelines, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature. The Cochrane Library database, PubMed, EMBASE, and PubMed Central were comprehensively searched for published papers until 31 May 2022. A pooled risk ratio (OR) with 95% CI was presented as the result of this meta-analysis. Results: We included 29 studies involved 21,257 patients with lung cancer and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Analysis data showed that mortality in patients with lung cancer was significantly higher than that in patients without cancer (HR = 2.00 [95%CI 1.52, 2.63], p < 0.01) or with other malignancies (HR = 1.91 [95%CI 1.53, 2.39], p < 0.01). In addition, we also observed a higher risk of severe infection in terms of life-threatening or required ICU admission/mechanical ventilation for lung cancer patients (HR = 1.47 [95%CI 1.06, 2.03], p = 0.02) than for patients with no cancer or other malignancies. Regarding lung cancer as a risk factor for acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection, we could not reach statistical significance (hazard ratio [HR] =2.73 [95%CI 0.84, 8.94], p = 0.1). Conclusion: Lung cancer represents an important comorbidity and modifies COVID-19 prognosis in terms of disease severity and mortality. More patients experience severe or even fatal events. Considering their inherent fragility, patients with lung cancer, and generally all oncological populations, should be treated more carefully during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Among pre- and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer (BC), combinations of an aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) have demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to standard single-agent hormone therapy alone as first-line therapy for de novo metastatic disease or relapse during or after adjuvant therapy and no previous therapies in an advanced setting. We here reviewed clinical data about ribociclib in advanced and early BC. Also, we shed light on patient selection and special settings in which medical oncologists urgently await an advance in treatment. Ribociclib was FDA-approved in combination with letrozole based on a Phase III study in which 668 postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic BC were treated with first-line letrozole with or without ribociclib. For patients with metastatic disease at presentation or after a course of AIs, the results of the MONALEESA-3 trial suggest ribociclib’s efficacy in combination with fulvestrant, and this combination is FDA-approved for initial- and subsequent-line endocrine therapy for postmenopausal women with metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative BC. In adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings, the use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors may be useful to boost outcomes in high-risk patients with HR+ BC, but data contrast with those of a phase III study, which produced positive results. New combinations are being explored in upfront disease (neoadjuvant) or in association with other targeted agents in metastatic disease. Compared to other CDK 4/6 available, ribociclib has a higher incidence of liver function test abnormalities than the other agents and can cause QTc prolongation, and therefore may be prudently avoided in patients with cardiac morbidities or other risk factors for QTc prolongation (drugs, interactions). In these cases, different agents (palbociclib or abemaciclib) may be used. In conclusion, ribociclib with letrozole or with fulvestrant is effective for the entire spectrum of patients with HR+ BC in the advanced setting. Ribociclib has all the characteristics of an innovative drug able to change the clinical practice and most BC patients’ prognoses.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a new class of molecular-targeted drugs, which are being developed to selectively target tumor cells and minimize toxicities. Three ADCs, namely trastuzumab emtansine (TDM-1), sacituzumab govitecan, and trastuzumab deruxtecan, are currently approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Acute gastrointestinal toxicities are relatively frequent with these agents. We performed a pooled analysis evaluating gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs) in patients with MBC treated with ADCs. Methods. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception until December 2020 for phase 2 and 3 trials reporting frequency and severity of gastrointestinal AEs in patients treated with ADCs. Data were collected for nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain: overall and grade 3-4 toxicity rates according to NCI-CTCAE were described and expressed as proportions. A pre-specified subgroup analysis according to type of agent was also performed. Results. Ten studies, involving a total of 4020 patients, were included in the analysis. Gastrointestinal AEs were very frequent with sacituzumab govitecan and trastuzumab deruxtecan but were mostly low-grade. These novel ADCs were characterized by a significantly higher incidence of nausea (65.6% with sacituzumab govitecan, 77.2% with trastuzumab deruxtecan), vomiting (43.7% and 46.6%), and diarrhea (59.7% and 30.2%) compared to TDM-1. Diarrhea was the main AEs associated with sacituzumab govitecan (grade 3 in 7.5% of patients). Abdominal pain and constipation were reported less frequently. Conclusions. Gastrointestinal AEs, especially nausea and diarrhea, are common in patients with MBC treated with novel ADCs.

Abstract
We analyzed published studies on the efficacy and safety of the third dose of the COVID‐19 vaccine in various general population settings. We conducted systematic searches of PubMed and EMBASE for series published in the English language through November 15, 2021, using the search terms “third” or “booster” or “three” and “dose” and “COVID‐19” or “SARS‐CoV‐2.” All articles were selected according to the MOOSE guidelines. The seroconversion risk after third doses was descriptively expressed as a pooled rate ratio ([seroconversion rate after the third dose]/[seroconversion rate after the second dose]). The search returned 30 studies that included a total of 2 734 437 vaccinated subjects. In more than 2 700 000 Israeli patients extracted from the general population, the reduction in the risk of infection ranged from 88% to 92%. Conversion rates for IgG anti‐spike ranged from 95% to 100%. In cancer or immunocompromised patients, mean IgG seroconversion was 39.4% before and 66.6% after third doses. A third dose seems necessary to protect against all COVID‐19 infection, severe disease, and death risk.

Abstract
Diarrhoea is one of the main side effects that cancer patients face. The literature showsthat the incidence of chemotherapy (CT)-induced diarrhoea (grade 3–4) in treated patients is in the range of 10–20%, particularly after 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) bolus or some combination therapies of irinotecan and fluoropyrimidines. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Lactobacillus kefiri LKF01 (Kefibios®) in the prevention or treatment of CT-related diarrhoea in the cancer population. We conducted a prospective observational study. Patients enrolled were adults treated for at least four months with 5-FU-based CT. Kefibios® was administered to patients every day. The primary outcome was the evaluation of the incidence of grade 3–4 CT-induced diarrhoea. We included 76 patients in the final analysis. A 6.6% incidence of high-grade diarrhoea was found in the evaluated population (4.7% of patients treated with 5-FU-based therapy and 8.5% of patients treated with capecitabine-based CT). The overall incidence of high-grade diarrhoea observed was higher in the 1st and 2nd cycles (3.9%), with a subsequent sharp reduction from the 3rd cycle (1.3%) and negativisation from the 5th cycle. Lactobacillus kefiri LKF01 (Kefibios®) is safe and effective in preventing severe diarrhoea in cancer patients receiving 5-FU or capecitabine-based treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an elevated risk of various cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Similarly, pre-existing DM may also influence prognosis among patients with CRC. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between DM and risk of death and relapse after a diagnosis of CRC. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library and Embase were searched from inception until July 2019 for studies reporting prognosis of patients with DM and CRC. The primary outcome of the study refers to overall mortality in patients with vs without diabetes. Secondary endpoints were cancer-specific mortality and progression or relapse-free survival. The risk of death and relapse are reported as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI), and an HR >1 was associated with worst outcome in patients with diabetes compared to those without diabetes. RESULTS Mortality and relapse associated with DM in patients with CRC were evaluated among 5,267,980 participants (total of 82 studies). Overall, concomitant diagnosis of CRC and DM were associated with an independent increased risk of overall mortality (HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.17 to 1.25; p<0.01) and CSM (HR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.17; p<0.01). Patients were also at increased risk of relapse (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.16; p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS In CRC patients with DM, diabetes decreased survival and increased the risk of relapse. Adequate control of lifestyle choices, more intensive follow ups, use of some oral antidiabetics, dietary restrictions, physical activity and monitoring of diabetes-associated complications are measures for reducing mortality in this setting.

Abstract
e14130 Background: irAEs are autoimmune-toxic effects associated with ICIs used for treatment of advanced solid tumors. The correlation of these irAEs with survival is presently unknown. The objective of this meta-analysis is to assess the outcome of cancer patients treated with ICIs who develop irAEs. Methods: Two independent reviewers selected prospective or retrospective studies from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library database from their inception to November 2018. Studies were selected if: 1) they reported correlation of irAEs (any) with outcome, 2) they included patients with solid tumors; 3) they included treatment with anti-PD-(L)1 or anti-CTLA-4 agents, 4) patients had no previous history of autoimmune disorders, 5) they were published in English language, and 6) they provided availability of adequate data to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Data were pooled using HRs for overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS) or ORs for overall response rate (ORR) of irAEs vs no irAEs according to fixed or random effect model. HRs for OS (the primary outcome measure) were pooled to provide an aggregate value. Hazard ratio for PFS and ORs for ORR were secondary endpoints. Results: A total of 29 studies for a total of 4242 patients treated with ICIs were selected. Patients who developed irAEs presented a reduced risk of death (HR = 0.52, p < .001). Similarly, the occurrence of irAEs was associated with a reduced risk of progression (HR = 0.51, p < .001). The combined odds of response was 4.87 (p < .001). Conclusions: In patients treated with ICIs, irAEs predict survival and response. Although this correlation cannot be fully explained, it may be related to the strongest T cell activation. Patients showing any form of irAEs can be informed about the positive prognostic effect, and physicians can detect patients with favorable outcome to ICIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several trials have demonstrated the benefit of anti-CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) advanced breast cancer (BC), in first or subsequent lines of therapy. However, due to the lack of direct/indirect comparisons, there are no data demonstrating the superiority of one drug over the other. We compared the effectiveness of palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib in advanced ER + BC via an indirect adjusted analysis. METHODS We performed electronic searches in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases for prospective phase 3 randomized trials evaluating anti-CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine agents. We compared the results with an adjusted indirect analysis of randomized-controlled trials. Outcomes of interest were progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR) and G3-4 toxicities occurring in ≥ 5% of patients. RESULTS Six trials and six treatment arms including a total of 3743 participants, were included. For PFS and ORR analysis, the three agents were similar in both first- and second-line studies. All G3-4 toxicities were similar, with reduced risk of diarrhea for palbociclib versus abemaciclib (relative risk [RR] 0.13, 95% CI 0.02-0.92; P = 0.04) and of QTc prolongation for palbociclib versus ribociclib (RR 0.02, 95% CI 0-0.83; P = 0.03). Despite different inclusion criteria and length of follow-up, similar features were noticed among second-line studies with the exception of increased risk of anemia G3-4 and diarrhea G3-4 for abemaciclib. CONCLUSIONS Based on PFS and ORR results of this indirect meta-analysis, palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are equally effective in either first- or second-line therapy for advanced ER + BC. They, however, ported different toxicity profiles.

Abstract
e21556 Background: Psychological distress is one of the most important indexes of suffering in oncological patients – due to its severe negative impacts on medical treatments. Thus, the attention to this topic has increased constantly – focusing on the observed outcomes of (psychological) cares. However, very few studies investigated the (latent) pattern ( form) of change in distress within oncological patients receiving psychological intervention. The aim of the study was to test a Latent Growth Curve Model to explore the form of change in distress. Methods: A longitudinal research design was used. Patients ( N= 122, mean age: 68.3, SD= 12.3, 63 female-59 male) were enrolled at the Department of Medical Oncology at Presidio Ospedaliero of Saronno, ASST Valle Olona, Italy, and assessed for the presence of distress with Psychological Distress Inventory (PDI). As clinical routine, all patients received a specific cancer-related psychological intervention (CBT, mainly; mean of sessions: 27.4, SD= 13.5) and were tested at the beginning (T1; α= .88) and at the end of treatment (T2; α= .86) and at timed-balanced follow-up (T3; α= .87). Results: First, longitudinal invariance of measurement was performed to test whether (A) factor structure of PDI and (B) factor loadings of indicators were constant across time. PDI showed metric measurement invariance: Δχ2= 20.4; Δχ2 df= 24; p(Δχ2) = 0.67. Afterward, a LGCM was performed testing different trends of growth (no growth vs. linear vs. free) – controlling for age, number of sessions received, type and localization of tumor. The comparison of growth curves reveal that the linear trends of change had the best model fit to the data: χ2= 4.124, p= .248; RMSEA = .055(.000–.171), p(RMSEA < .05) = .372, CFI = .990, SRMR = .027. Conclusions: These findings highlight that the (latent) linear growth better explain true change of distress – among oncological patients receiving a specific cancer-related psychological intervention. These results outline the possibility to improve the structure of psychological and medical treatments for oncological settings, to reduce psychological suffering and increase quality of life.
