Abstract
2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, are ideal platforms for spin-to-charge conversion (SCC) as they possess strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC), reduced dimensionality and crystal symmetries as well as tuneable band structure, compared to metallic structures. Moreover, SCC can be tuned with the number of layers, electric field, or strain. Here, SCC in epitaxially grown 2D PtSe2 by THz spintronic emission is studied since its 1T crystal symmetry and strong SOC favor SCC. High quality of as-grown PtSe2 layers is demonstrated, followed by in situ ferromagnet deposition by sputtering that leaves the PtSe2 unaffected, resulting in well-defined clean interfaces as evidenced with extensive characterization. Through this atomic growth control and using THz spintronic emission, the unique thickness-dependent electronic structure of PtSe2 allows the control of SCC. Indeed, the transition from the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) in 1-3 monolayers (ML) to the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in multilayers (>3 ML) of PtSe2 enabling the extraction of the perpendicular spin diffusion length and relative strength of IREE and ISHE is demonstrated. This band structure flexibility makes PtSe2 an ideal candidate to explore the underlying mechanisms and engineering of the SCC as well as for the development of tuneable THz spintronic emitters.

Abstract
Objectives Visual aids (VAs) seem effective to improve doctor-patient communication. The objective was to describe how VAs are used in consultation and what French general practitioners (GPs) expect of them. Methods Cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire among French GPs in 2019. Descriptive and multinominal logistic regression analyses were performed. Results Of the 376 respondents, 70% used VAs at least weekly and 34% daily; 94% considered VAs useful/very useful; 77% felt they did not use VAs enough. Sketches were the most used VAs and considered the most useful. Younger age was significantly associated with a higher rate of use of simple digital images. VAs were mainly used to describe anatomy and facilitate patient comprehension. Main reasons for not using VAs more often were time spent searching, lack of habit and poor quality of available VAs. Many GPs requested a database of good quality VAs. Conclusions GPs use VAs regularly in consultations but would like to use them more often. Informing GPs of the usefulness of VAs, training them to draw adapted sketches and creating a good quality databank are some possible strategies to increase the use of VAs. Innovation This study described in detail the use of VAs as tool for doctor-patient communication.

Abstract
Importance Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and PD-1 ligand 1 have improved the outcome for many cancer types, the majority of patients fails to respond to ICI monotherapy. Hypofractionated radiotherapy has the potential to improve the therapeutic ratio of ICIs. Objective To assess the addition of radiotherapy to ICIs compared with ICI monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. Design, Setting, and Participants This open-label, multicenter, randomized phase 2 trial was conducted in 5 Belgian hospitals and enrolled participants between March 2018 and October 2020. Patients 18 years or older with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, or non-small cell lung carcinoma were eligible. A total of 99 patients were randomly assigned to either the control arm (n = 52) or the experimental arm (n = 47). Of those, 3 patients (1 in the control arm vs 2 in the experimental arm) withdrew consent and thus were not included in the analysis. Data analyses were performed between April 2022 and March 2023. Interventions Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive anti-PD-1/PD-1 ligand 1 ICIs alone as per standard of care (control arm) or combined with stereotactic body radiotherapy 3 × 8 gray to a maximum of 3 lesions prior to the second or third ICI cycle, depending on the frequency of administration (experimental arm). Randomization was stratified according to tumor histologic findings and disease burden (3 and fewer or more than 3 cancer lesions). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) as per immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Key secondary end points included overall survival (OS), objective response rate, local control rate, and toxic effects. Efficacy was assessed in the intention-to-treat population, while safety was evaluated in the as-treated population. Results Among 96 patients included in the analysis (mean age, 66 years; 76 [79%] female), 72 (75%) had more than 3 tumor lesions and 65 (68%) had received at least 1 previous line of systemic treatment at time of inclusion. Seven patients allocated to the experimental arm did not complete the study-prescribed radiotherapy course due to early disease progression (n = 5) or intercurrent illness (n = 2). With a median (range) follow-up of 12.5 (0.7-46.2) months, median PFS was 2.8 months in the control arm compared with 4.4 months in the experimental arm (hazard ratio, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.58-1.53; P = .82). Between the control and experimental arms, no improvement in median OS was observed (11.0 vs 14.3 months; hazard ratio, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.48-1.41; P = .47), and objective response rate was not statistically significantly different (22% vs 27%; P = .56), despite a local control rate of 75% in irradiated patients. Acute treatment-related toxic effects of any grade and grade 3 or higher occurred in 79% and 18% of patients in the control arm vs 78% and 18% in the experimental arm, respectively. No grade 5 adverse events occurred. Conclusions and Relevance This phase 2 randomized clinical trial demonstrated that while safe, adding subablative stereotactic radiotherapy of a limited number of metastatic lesions to ICI monotherapy failed to show improvement in PFS or OS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe and compare the initial clinical characteristics of a cohort of patients with suspected COVID-19 managed by general practitioners (GPs); to assess whether 3-month persistent symptoms were more frequent among confirmed cases than among no-COVID cases; and to identify factors predictive of persistent symptoms and adverse outcomes among confirmed cases. DESIGN AND SETTING A comparative, prospective, multicentre cohort study in primary care in the Paris region of France. PARTICIPANTS 521 patients aged ≥18 with suspected COVID-19 were enrolled between March and May 2020. OUTCOME MEASURES Initial symptoms, COVID-19 status, persistent symptoms 3 months after inclusion and a composite criterion for potentially COVID-19-related events (hospitalisation, death, emergency department visits). The final COVID-19 status ('confirmed', 'no-COVID' and 'uncertain' cases) was determined by the GP after the receipt of the laboratory test results. RESULTS 516 patients were analysed; 166 (32.2%) were classified into the 'confirmed COVID' group, 180 (34.9%) into the 'no-COVID' group and 170 (32.9%) in the 'uncertain COVID' group. Confirmed cases were more likely to have persistent symptoms than no-COVID cases (p=0.09); initial fever/feeling feverish and anosmia were independently associated with persistent symptoms. At 3 months, we observed 16 (9.8%) COVID-19-related hospital admissions, 3 (1.8%) intensive care unit admissions, 13 (37.1%) referrals to an emergency department and no death. Age >70 and/or at least one comorbidity (OR 6.53; 95% CI 1.13-37.84; p=0.036), abnormalities in a lung examination (15.39; 95% CI 1.61-146.77; p=0.057) and two or more systemic symptoms (38.61; 95% CI 2.30-647.40; p=0.011) were associated with the composite criterion. CONCLUSIONS Although most patients with COVID-19 in primary care had mild disease with a benign course, almost one in six had persistent symptoms at 3 months. These symptoms were more frequent in the 'confirmed COVID' group. Our findings need to be confirmed in a prospective study with longer follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Talazoparib has shown antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and DNA damage response (DDR)/homologous recombination repair (HRR) alterations. OBJECTIVE To evaluate patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and pain in patients who received talazoparib in the TALAPRO-1 study, with a special interest in patients harboring breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 or 2 (BRCA1/2) mutations. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS TALAPRO-1 is a single-arm, phase 2 study in men with mCRPC DDR alterations either directly or indirectly involved in HRR, who previously received one to two taxane-based chemotherapy regimens for advanced prostate cancer and whose mCRPC progressed on one or more novel hormonal agents. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Men completed the European Quality-of-life Five-dimension Five-level scale (EQ-5D-5L), EQ-5D visual analog scale (VAS), and Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form at predefined time points during the study. The patient-reported outcome (PRO) population included men who completed a baseline and one or more postbaseline assessments before study end. Longitudinal mixed-effect models assuming an unstructured covariance matrix were used to estimate the mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) change from baseline for pain and general health status measurements among all patients and patients with BRCA1/2 mutations. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS In the 97 men in the PRO population treated with talazoparib (BRCA1/2, n = 56), the mean (95% CI) EQ-5D-5L Index improved (all patients, 0.05 [0.01, 0.08]; BRCA1/2 subset, 0.07 [0.03, 0.10]), as did the EQ-5D VAS scores (all patients, 5.42 [2.65, 8.18]; BRCA1/2 subset, 4.74 [1.07, 8.41]). Improvements in the estimated overall change from baseline (95% CI) in the mean worst pain were observed in all patients (-1.08 [-1.52, -0.65]) and the BRCA1/2 subset (-1.15 [-1.67, -0.62]). The probability of not having had experienced deterioration of worst pain by month 12 was 84% for all patients and 83% for the BRCA1/2 subset. CONCLUSIONS In heavily pretreated men with mCRPC and DDR/HRR alterations, talazoparib was associated with improved HRQoL in all patients and the BRCA1/2 subset. In both patient groups, worst pain improved from baseline and the probability of not experiencing a deterioration in worst pain with talazoparib was high. PATIENT SUMMARY We show that talazoparib was associated at least with no change or improvements in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and pain burden in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and DNA damage response/homologous recombination repair gene alterations in the TALAPRO-1 study. These findings in patient-reported HRQoL and pain complement the antitumor activity and tolerability profile of talazoparib.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: TALAPRO-1 enrolled men with progressive mCRPC, measurable soft-tissue disease, and tumor DDRm involved directly or indirectly in homologous recombination repair (HRR) (11 gene panel). Men had received 1-2 taxane-based chemotherapy regimens and progressed on ≥1 novel hormonal therapy. The primary endpoint was objective response rate ([ORR] per RECIST 1.1; blinded independent central review [BICR]). Exploratory ad hoc biomarker analyses assessed gLOH and associations with antitumor activity.
Methods: gLOH was calculated as previously described (Sokol et al., JCO Precis Oncol 2020; PMID: 32903788). Of 104 men in the HRR-deficient measurable disease population (hereafter referred to as the efficacy population), 55 were evaluable for gLOH, 45 were non-evaluable for gLOH, and four lacked central lab gLOH results. Potential association of gLOH high/low status with response was explored using two high/low thresholds: 8.8% based on literature showing that this threshold optimally distinguished prostate cancers bearing BRCA biallelic alterations from BRCA-wildtype (Sokol et al., JCO Precis Oncol 2020; PMID: 32903788), and an agnostic threshold based on the median gLOH score in TALAPRO-1 (9.2%) in the gLOH-evaluable efficacy population. Data cutoff was Sept 4, 2020 (primary completion date).
Results: gLOH ranged from 1.39% to 30.2% in the gLOH-evaluable efficacy population. Based on the 8.8% gLOH threshold, ORR was significantly higher for gLOH-high (53.3% [16/30], 95% confidence interval [CI] 34.3-71.7%) vs gLOH-low (12.0% [3/25], 95% CI 2.5-31.2%; odds ratio [OR] 8.381, 2-sided P=0.0017; Fisher’s exact test). Similar results were yielded based on the 9.2% gLOH threshold. Next, potential associations of gLOH score with response within HRR gene alteration groups of the efficacy population were explored using the 8.8% threshold. Within the BRCA2 group, ORR was robust regardless of gLOH status, but was significantly higher for gLOH-high (70.6%, 12/17) than for gLOH-low (23.1%, 3/13) (P=0.0253). Within the ATM group, ORR was numerically higher for gLOH-high (50.0%, 2/4) than gLOH-low (0%, 0/6), but not significantly (P=0.1333). Radiographic progression-free survival (RECIST 1.1; BICR) in the gLOH-evaluable efficacy population was numerically superior for gLOH-high versus gLOH-low using either threshold (hazard ratio 0.68), but not significantly.
Conclusions: Based on these retrospective, exploratory analyses of TALAPRO-1, gLOH-high status was associated with response within the gLOH-evaluable efficacy population. Further exploration of gLOH as a candidate predictive biomarker for talazoparib in prostate cancer is warranted.

Abstract
157 Background: TALAPRO-1 enrolled men with progressive mCRPC with measurable soft-tissue disease and tumor DDRm involved directly or indirectly in homologous recombination repair (HRR) (11 gene panel). These men had received 1–2 taxane chemotherapy and progressed on ≥1 novel hormonal therapy. The primary endpoint was objective response rate ([ORR] per RECIST 1.1; central review). Exploratory ad hoc biomarker analyses assessed germline DDR/HRR (gHRR) alteration landscape and associations with antitumor activity. Methods: Alterations were defined as known/likely pathogenic variants. gHRR alteration (gHRRm) frequency was assessed in the study population evaluable for saliva sequencing (n = 91) using Ambry CustomNext-Cancer (9/11 genes from the tumor panel assessed). Potential associations between gHRRm status and antitumor activity were explored in the HRR-deficient measurable disease population evaluable for gHRRm (n = 70). The potential association of germline vs somatic tumor HRRm and antitumor activity was also assessed in the HRR-deficient measurable disease population (n = 104) using saliva data and somatic-germline-zygosity (SGZ) prediction (when saliva results were unavailable) to annotate tumor alteration origin. This analysis was limited to short variants. Data cutoff was Sept 4, 2020 (primary completion date). Results: Using Ambry saliva results, 19 gHRRm were identified in 18/91 (20%) evaluable patients (pts) ( BRCA2 = 10; ATM = 4; CHEK2 = 4; RAD51C = 1; 1 pt had both ATM and RAD51C). As expected for germline sequencing, all 19 alterations were short variants (12 SNV, 7 InDels). For 17/19 gHRRm, central lab tumor F1CDx records were available: in all 17 cases, identical tumor alterations were found. Of these 17 tumor HRRm, 16 were evaluable for tumor SGZ prediction of origin or zygosity: 15/16 germline, with 1/16 somatic; 9/16 homozygous (incl 7/9 BRCA2), with 7/16 heterozygous (incl 2/9 BRCA2). ORR was 31% (5/16) in men with gHRRm and 26% (14/54) in men without gHRRm ( P = 0.7519, 2-sided Fisher exact test). Based on tumor sequencing results, annotated using saliva results and SGZ predictions, ORR was 25% (10/40) in men with gHRRm and 19% (4/21) in men with only somatic HRRm ( P = 0.7528). Conclusions: Here we report a 20% incidence of gHRRm for this population of men with mCRPC preselected based on tumor HRRm status, which may be impacted by low Ns and assay specific differences in variant calling. In this population, no association with differential antitumor activity was observed with gHRRm status as assessed using germline results alone, or assessed holistically using a combination of tumor and saliva results and SGZ prediction.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: TALAPRO-1 enrolled patients (pts) with RECIST1.1-measurable disease, progressive mCRPC, and tumor DDRalt (tDDRalt) considered sensitizing to PARP inhibitors (ATM, ATR, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, FANCA, MLH1, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, RAD51C). Pts had received ≥1 taxane-based chemotherapy and progressed on ≥1 novel hormonal therapy. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR per RECIST1.1; central review). Exploratory ad hoc biomarker analyses assessed germline/somatic origin and zygosity of tDDRalt and associations with antitumor activity. Data cutoff was Sept 4, 2020. Methods: Tumor tissue was tested using FoundationOne®, and saliva using an Ambry CustomNext-Cancer panel. Known/likely pathogenic tDDRalt variants were categorized as germline (also present in saliva), somatic (not present in saliva), or unknown origin (ATR and FANCA not in germline panel). tDDRalt zygosity was assessed using somatic-germline-zygosity (SGZ). Categorization was limited to short variants. Results: 128 pts were enrolled and 127 received ≥1 TALA dose (safety population). Of 52 enrolled tumor DDR-deficient pts evaluable for both germline and tumor DDR mutations and associated comparisons, 27 (52%) had ≥1 tDDRalt of germline origin, 24 (46%) of somatic origin, and 2 (4%) of unknown origin. One pt had both germline and somatic tDDRalt. The most common tDDRalt were BRCA2 (14 germline; 10 somatic) and ATM (4 germline; 7 somatic). ORR was 25.9% (7/27) in pts with tDDRalt of germline origin and 9.1% (2/22) in pts with only somatic tDDRalt (P = 0.159, 2-sided Fisher's exact test). ORR was 50.0% (7/14) in pts with tumor BRCA2alt of germline origin and 20.0% (2/10) in pts with somatic BRCA2alt (not significantly different; P = 0.210). Overall, of 77 pts in the safety population evaluable for SGZ, tDDRalt were predicted to be with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in 16 (20.8%) pts, heterozygous in 17 (22.1%) pts and with zygosity unknown in 44 (57.1%) pts. ORR in tumors categorized as tDDRalt with LOH was 43.8% (7/16) and for those categorized as heterozygous tDDRalt was 11.8% (2/17) (odds ratio [95% CI] 5.83 [0.811-65.84]; P = 0.057). Conclusions: In this heavily pretreated mCRPC population, based on this retrospective ad hoc exploratory subgroup analysis, pts with germline and/or homozygous tDDRalt appeared to be numerically most likely to respond to TALA. Potential reasons include gene-specific imbalances in origin/zygosity of alterations and/or sensitivity to TALA. Further investigation in larger data sets is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While the introduction of checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) as standard of care treatment for various tumor types has led to considerable improvements in clinical outcome, the majority of patients still fail to respond. Preclinical data suggest that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) could work synergistically with CPIs by acting as an in situ cancer vaccine, thus potentially increasing response rates and prolonging disease control. Though SBRT administered concurrently with CPIs has been shown to be safe, evidence of its efficacy from large randomized trials is still lacking. The aim of this multicenter randomized phase II trial is to assess whether SBRT administered concurrently with CPIs could prolong progression-free survival as compared to standard of care in patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS/DESIGN Ninety-eight patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive CPI treatment combined with SBRT (Arm A) or CPI monotherapy (Arm B). Randomization will be stratified according to tumor histology (melanoma, renal, urothelial, head and neck squamous cell or non-small cell lung carcinoma) and disease burden (≤ or > 3 cancer lesions). The recommended SBRT dose is 24Gy in 3 fractions, which will be administered to a maximum of 3 lesions and is to be completed prior to the second or third CPI cycle (depending on CPI treatment schedule). The study's primary endpoint is progression-free survival as per iRECIST. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, objective response, local control, quality of life and toxicity. Translational analyses will be performed using blood, fecal and tissue samples. DISCUSSION The CHEERS trial will provide further insights into the clinical and immunological impact of SBRT when combined with CPIs in patients with advanced solid tumors. Furthermore, study results will inform the design of future immuno-radiotherapy trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03511391 . Registered 17 April 2018.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe how general practitioners (GPs) adapted their practices to secure and maintain access to care in the epidemic phase. A secondary objective was to explore if GPs' individual characteristics and type of practice determined their adaptation. DESIGN Observational study using an online questionnaire. Organisational changes were measured by a main question and detailed in two specific outcomes. To identify which GPs' characteristics impacted organisational changes, successive multivariate logistic modelling was performed. First, we identified the GPs' characteristics related to organisational changes with a univariate analysis. Then, we tested the adjusted associations between this variable and the following GPs' characteristics: age, gender and type of practice. SETTING The questionnaire was administered online between 14 March and 21 March 2020. Practitioners were recruited by email using the contact lists of different French scientific GP societies. PARTICIPANTS The target population was GPs currently practising in France (n=46 056). We obtained a total of 7481 responses. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome: Proportion of GPs who adapted their practice. Secondary outcome: GPs' characteristics related to organisational changes. RESULTS Among the 7481 responses, 5425 were complete and were analysed. 3849 GPs (70.9%) changed their activity, 3605 GPs (66.5%) increased remote consultations and 2315 GPs (42.7%) created a specific pathway for probable patients with COVID-19. Among the 3849 GPs (70.9%) who changed their practice, 3306 (91.7%) gave more answers by phone, 996 (27.6%) by email and 1105 (30.7%) increased the use of video consultations. GPs working in multi-professional group practices were more likely to have changed their activity since the beginning of the epidemic wave than GPs working in mono-professional group or single medical practices (adjusted OR: 1.32, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.56, p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS French GPs adapted their practices regarding access to care for patients in the context of the COVID-19 epidemic. This adaptation was higher in multi-professional group practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No study has investigated factors associated with non-participation or partial participation in the different combination patterns of screening programmes for all three cancers, that is, breast, colorectal and cervical cancer. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, we sought to describe combinations of cancer screening participation rates among women in the Val-de-Marne area of France and to identify individual and contextual factors associated with non-participation or partial participation. RESULTS Women aged between 50 and 65 and who were eligible for all three screening programmes (n = 102 219) were analysed in multilevel logistic models, with the individual as the Level 1 variable and the place of residence as the Level 2 variable. The women who did not participate in any of the screening programmes were 34.4%, whereas 30.1%, 24% and 11.5% participated in one, two or all three screening programmes, respectively. Age below 55, a previous false-positive mammography, prior opportunistic mammography only, no previous mammography, membership of certain health insurance schemes (all P < 0.05) and residence in a deprived area (P < 0.001) were independently associated with non-participation or partial participation. We observed a stronger effect of deprivation on non-participation in all three cancers than in combinations of screening programmes. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the health authorities should focus on improving cancer screenings in general rather than screenings for specific types of cancer, especially among younger women and those living in the most socially deprived areas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Underdiagnosis and undertreatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) are common in older patients, who are usually treated by general practitioners (GPs). In 2007, the French ICAGE study explored GPs' attitudes to the management of this condition in older patients. OBJECTIVES To explore changes over time in GPs' attitudes towards the management of CHF in patients aged ≥75 and to identify barriers to optimal management. METHODS In 2015, we performed a qualitative study of 20 French GPs via semi-structured interviews and a thematic content analysis. The results were compared with the findings of a 2007 study. RESULTS In 2015, the perceived barriers to diagnosis were the same as in 2007. Echocardiography was still the preferred diagnostic method but the GPs relied on the cardiologist to confirm the diagnosis. Many GPs were still unaware of the different types of CHF. In contrast, they reported greater knowledge of decompensation factors and the ultrasound criteria for CHF. They also prescribed a brain natriuretic peptide assay more frequently. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta blockers were more strongly perceived to be core treatments. Few GPs initiated drug treatments and optimized dosages. Although patient education was never mentioned, the importance of multidisciplinary care was emphasized. CONCLUSION Our results evidenced a small recent improvement in the management of older patients with CHF. Appropriate guidelines and training for GPs, patient education and multidisciplinary collaboration might further improve the care given to this population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: BSMO 2014-01 is a published prospective phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant EC and PC in the treatment of TNBC patients. (1) The addition of weekly carboplatin to neoadjuvant paclitaxel and dose-dense EC lead to a pathologic complete response (pCR) of 54%, comparable to prior studies. A secondary endpoint was to correlate pCR to homologous recombination (HR) and DNA damaging repair (DDR) deficiency due to germline mutations. Methods: Sixty-three patients (pts) of which nine already identified with a BRCA 1/2 mutation were considered. Peripheral blood was collected in 52 pts after obtaining informed consent for a broad genomic DNA analysis. Whole Exome Sequencing was performed, and only rare variants (M.A.F. <0.01) with a strong impact on protein structure (nonsense, frameshift or splice-site variants) in genes involved in DNA damage repair (DDR) were further taken into consideration. The correlation between pCR rate and DDR deficiency or deficiency in Homologous Recombination repair or HR, a subclass of DDR deficiency, was analyzed using the Fisher's exact test. Results: Twenty nine out of the 52 investigated patients carried a germline mutation in a DDR gene. Twenty of these 29 pts had a pCR, while a pCR was observed in 8/23 patients without an DDR mutation (p=0.014). In 13/15 with an HR gene mutation a pCR was obtained, while the pCR was 15/37 in pts without an HR deficiency (p=0.003). DDR deficiency not involving HR genes lead to a pCR rate of 7/14, while this was 8/23 in pts without a mutation (p= 0.3). Conclusions: This is the first genomic study in early TNBC pts which demonstrates, that a germline mutation in any of the genes involved in DNA repair by homologous recombination, strongly predicts for a pCR on neoadjuvant chemotherapy with EC and PC. Other DDR gene mutations do not predict for an enhanced pCR rate compared to pts with no DDR gene mutations identified in their germline. Ref: C. Fontaine, V. Renard, H. Van den Bulk, P.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the pCR rate and toxicity of the addition of weekly carboplatin (Cp) to paclitaxel (wP) and dose-dense (dd) epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (EC) in an open-label phase II study in TNBC patients. METHODS Patients were included if they had stage II and III TNBC and received wP (80 mg/m2/week) concurrent with weekly Cp (AUC = 2) for 12 weeks, followed by bi-weekly epirubicin (90 mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2) plus granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for four cycles, followed by surgery. The primary endpoint was the rate of pCR [(ypT0/isypN0)]. Secondary endpoints included safety and drug delivery. RESULTS Sixty-three eligible patients were included. Median age was 51 years (range 29-74); 88.9% had stage II disease, 46% were clinically node positive, and 77.8% had grade 3 tumors. Fifty-four percent achieved a pCR. Twelve percent missed two or more doses of wP, whereas at least two cycles of EC were missed in 9.5%. The rate of tolerance without delays or dose reductions is very low (16%). Sixty-two percent had G3/4 neutropenia. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 18 patients of which more than eighty percent occurred during EC despite primary prophylaxis with G-CSF. Thrombocytopenia grade 3/4 was noticed in 11 pts. Three patients developed grade 3 peripheral neuropathy. CONCLUSION The addition of weekly carboplatin to neoadjuvant paclitaxel and dd EC leads to a pCR rate comparable to prior studies (54%). However, hematological toxicity and febrile neutropenia rate was unexpectedly high. Future investigations could focus on reversing the sequence, which may lead to better hematological tolerability.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: BSMO 2014-01 is a completed prospective phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy of neoadjuvant EC and PC. One of the secondary endpoints was the correlation of sTIL with response, pCR and survival. We also assessed the relationship between sTIL and TLS in the diagnostic biopsies.
Methods: Stromal TIL (sTIL) were evaluated on H&E stained tumor biopsies before the start of the NAC according to the criteria described by Salgado et al(1). Scores were defined as "low" or "high" if lymphocytic infiltration in the stroma around the tumor was ≤ 10% or > 10%. TLS are ectopic lymph node-like structures recently identified in breast cancer. TLS were counted using a dual IHC stain for CD3 (T cells) and CD20 (B cells) and categorized as "little" if the TLS occupied < 10% or "moderate to abundant" if they occupied ≥ 10% of the adjacent tissue. The correlation between sTIL and pathologic parameters was analyzed using the chi-square test; DFS and OS between the groups was estimated by using the log-rank test.
Results: So far we could quantify the number of sTIL in 38 out of 63 TNBC pts treated with neoadjuvant EC-PC. Twenty eight pts had a high sTIL score and 10 pts had a low sTIL score. The high-sTIL group (19/28) achieved a numerical higher pathologic complete remission (pCR) rate than the low-sTIL group (5/10) (p=0.3); both groups had a comparable disease free survival of 28.6 mths and 26.7 mths respectively (p=0.7). The overall survival was similar:29 mths and 27.8 mths respectively (p=0.8). Stromal TLS were identified in 10 out 23 samples available for this analysis and we could demonstrate a positive correlation between high levels of sTIL and high levels of moderate to abundant TLS(CD3) in the adjacent tissue in six out of the ten samples in which TLS were present (p=0.1).
Conclusion: These preliminary results could not confirm the results published by Denkert et al earlier this year(2). A trend for correlation of the presence of high sTIL with moderate to abundant levels of TLS was found. Analysis on the remaining samples of all patients included in the study and correlation with outcome is ongoing and these completed results will be presented.

Abstract
In this opinion paper, the authors argue that the extension of mandatory immunization of infants up to two years of age from three diseases (diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis) to 11 diseases, introduced in France in January 2018, is not a sustainable response to the challenge of controlling vaccine-preventable diseases. In France in 2017, infant immunization coverage (IC) rates were sufficiently high or increasing (hepatitis B), except for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and meningococcus C disease. Even if vaccination obligation makes it possible to achieve the MMR IC objectives among infants, communication programmes and supported advice from GPs are essential for the catch-up of susceptible adults to obtain herd immunity. The impact of mandatory immunization on hesitancy remains uncertain, and it contradicts the evolution of the patient’s role in the governance of his own health and the principle of autonomy. Numerous studies have shown that interventions and advice from health professionals improve vaccine acceptance. To correct the poor implementation of some vaccination programmes by health professionals, strong communication and resources from health authorities are needed, rather than a retreat towards obligation. Reducing missed opportunities and increasing access to immunization are essential objectives. Finally, an immunization policy based on primary care and a patient-centred approach to each vaccination are more likely to reduce vaccine hesitancy, sustainably.

Abstract
In crystal growth, surfactants are additive molecules used in dilute amount or as dense, permeable layers to control surface morphologies. We investigate the properties of a strikingly different surfactant: a 2D and covalent layer with close atomic packing, graphene. Using in situ, real-time electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, and continuum mechanics calculations, we reveal why metallic atomic layers can grow in a 2D manner below an impermeable graphene membrane. Upon metal growth, graphene dynamically opens nanochannels called wrinkles, facilitating mass transport while at the same time storing and releasing elastic energy via lattice distortions. Graphene thus behaves as a mechanically active, deformable surfactant. The wrinkle-driven mass transport of the metallic layer intercalated between graphene and the substrate is observed for two graphene-based systems, characterized by different physicochemical interactions, between graphene and the substrate and between the intercalated material and graphene. The deformable surfactant character of graphene that we unveil should then apply to a broad variety of species, opening new avenues for using graphene as a 2D surfactant forcing the growth of flat films, nanostructures, and unconventional crystalline phases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Older patients raise therapeutic challenges, because they constitute a heterogeneous population with multimorbidity. To appraise this complexity, geriatricians have developed a multidimensional comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), which may be difficult to apply in primary care settings. Our primary objective was to compare the effect on morbimortality of usual care compared with two complex interventions combining educational seminars about CGA: a dedicated geriatric hotline for general practitioners (GPs) and CGA by trained nurses or GPs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Clinical Epidemiology and Ageing study is an open-label, pragmatic, multicentre, three-arm, cluster randomised controlled trial comparing two intervention groups and one control group. Patients must be 70 years or older with a long-term illness or with unscheduled hospitalisation in the past 3 months (750 patients planned). This study involves volunteering GPs practising in French primary care centres, with randomisation at the practice level. The multifaceted interventions for interventional arms comprise an educational interactive multiprofessional seminar for GPs and nurses, a geriatric hotline dedicated to GPs in case of difficulties and the performance of a CGA updated to primary care. The CGA is systematically performed by a nurse in arm 1 but is GP-led on a case-by-case basis in arm 2. The primary endpoint is a composite criterion comprising overall death, unscheduled hospitalisations, emergency admissions and institutionalisation within 12 months after inclusion. Intention-to-treat analysis will be performed using mixed-effects logistic regression models, with adjustment for potential confounders. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol was approved by an appropriate ethics committee (CPP Ile-de-France IV, Paris, France, approval April 2015;15 664). This study is conducted according to principles of good clinical practice in the context of current care and will provide useful knowledge on the clinical benefits achievable by CGA in primary care.

Abstract
Objective The aims of this study were to (i) assess the expectations of general practice departments regarding health sciences libraries’ subscriptions to journals and (ii) describe the current general practice journal collections of health sciences libraries. Methods A cross-sectional survey was distributed electronically to the thirty-five university general practice departments in France. General practice departments were asked to list ten journals to which they expected access via the subscriptions of their health sciences libraries. A ranked reference list of journals was then developed. Access to these journals was assessed through a survey sent to all health sciences libraries in France. Adequacy ratios (access/need) were calculated for each journal. Results All general practice departments completed the survey. The total reference list included 44 journals. This list was heterogeneous in terms of indexation/impact factor, language of publication, and scope (e.g., patient care, research, or medical education). Among the first 10 journals listed, La Revue Prescrire (96.6%), La Revue du Praticien–Médecine Générale (90.9%), the British Medical Journal (85.0%), Pédagogie Médicale (70.0%), Exercer (69.7%), and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (62.5%) had the highest adequacy ratios, whereas Family Practice (4.2%), the British Journal of General Practice (16.7%), Médecine (29.4%), and the European Journal of General Practice (33.3%) had the lowest adequacy ratios. Conclusions General practice departments have heterogeneous expectations in terms of health sciences libraries’ subscriptions to journals. It is important for librarians to understand the heterogeneity of these expectations, as well as local priorities, so that journal access meets users’ needs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a challenging disease with dismal prognosis. Platinum analogs have not yet shown to improve long term outcome in this setting, but are associated with increased pathological complete response rate (pCR) at the cost of higher toxicity.
Aim: To further increase or maintain the high pCR rate with platinum containing schedules while decreasing toxicity by administering low dose weekly carboplatin instead of high-dose 3 weekly carboplatin as in CALGB 40603.(1)
Patients and methods: We evaluated the tolerability and the impact of the addition of weekly carboplatin (CP) to paclitaxel (P) and dose dense epirubicin-cyclofosfamide (EC) on pCR in an open-label multicenter phase II study in stage II/III TNBC patients (pts). Sixty three pts received dose dense paclitaxel (P:80mg/m2/wk) concurrent with carboplatin (CP: AUC=2) for 12 wks, followed by two-weekly epirubicin (E:90mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide (C:600mg/m2) for 4 cycles. The primary endpoint is pCR in the breast and axilla. Additionally treatment deliveryand adverse events are recorded. A correlative assessment of germline mutations in homologous recombination (HR) genes is planned. Pts are monitored for response by magnetic resonance and mammography and also for relapse free survival and time to treatment failure. The study size sample has been calculated according to the optimal Simon's two-stage design method. The target sample size was 63 patients with 80% power to detect a pCR rate of ≥47% (α= 0.05).
Results: Accrual to the study is completed with 63 eligible pts with operable, noninflammatory stage II and III TNBC included. Most patients were between 40 and 60 yrs old and were clinical stageT2 tumors. Half of the pts were clinically node + and 70% were G3. Sixty six percent had breast conserving surgery. Sixteen out of 26 (61.5%) of the currently evaluable pts achieved a pCR rate in the breast and axilla. The other ongoing patients have not yet reached this endpoint. Four out of 21 evaluable pts that completed the chemotherapy missed two or more doses of CP due to neutropenia(NP) G3/4(2), general deterioration G3(1) and polyneuropathy(PNP) G3(1) and seven pts needed one dose reduction of P and/or CP due to NP G3-4 (3-2) and PNP G2(1) and one abdominal infection.
Conclusion: These preliminary data suggest that the addition of weekly carboplatinum to neoadjuvant paclitaxel and EC is feasible and has a promising pCR rate in the breast and axilla as high as 61.5% in early TNBC pts. More mature toxicity and outcome data and correlation with genome analysis will be presented.

Abstract
AIMS Trebananib, a peptide-Fc fusion protein, inhibits angiogenesis by inhibiting binding of angiopoietin-1/2 to the receptor tyrosine kinase Tie2. This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study evaluated whether trebananib plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS Women with recurrent ovarian cancer (platinum-free interval ≤12 months) were randomised to intravenous PLD 50 mg/m2 once every 4 weeks plus weekly intravenous trebananib 15 mg/kg or placebo. PFS was the primary end-point; key secondary end-points were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). Owing to PLD shortages, enrolment was paused for 13 months; the study was subsequently truncated. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-three patients were enrolled. Median PFS was 7.6 months (95% CI, 7.2-9.0) in the trebananib arm and 7.2 months (95% CI, 4.8-8.2) in the placebo arm, with a hazard ratio of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.68-1.24). However, because the proportional hazards assumption was not fulfilled, the standard Cox model did not provide a reliable estimate of the hazard ratio. ORR in the trebananib arm was 46% versus 21% in the placebo arm (odds ratio, 3.43; 95% CI, 1.78-6.64). Median DOR was improved (trebananib, 7.4 months [95% CI, 5.7-7.6]; placebo, 3.9 months [95% CI, 2.3-6.5]). Adverse events with a greater incidence in the trebananib arm included localised oedema (61% versus 32%), ascites (29% versus 9%) and vomiting (45% versus 33%). CONCLUSIONS Trebananib demonstrated anticancer activity in this phase 3 study, indicated by improved ORR and DOR. Median PFS was not improved. No new safety signals were identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The few studies assessing long-term effects of educational interventions on antibiotic prescription have produced conflicting results. OBJECTIVES Our aim was to assess the effects after 4.5 years of an interactive educational seminar designed for GPs and focused on antibiotic therapy in respiratory tract infections (RTIs). The seminar was expected to decrease antibiotic prescriptions for any diagnosis. METHODS We conducted a randomized controlled parallel-group trial in a Paris suburb (France), with GPs as the randomization unit and prescriptions as the analysis unit. The intervention occurred in September 2004 and the final assessment in March 2009. Among 203 randomized GPs, 168 completed the study, 70 in the intervention group and 98 in the control group. Intervention GPs were randomized to attending only a 2-day interactive educational seminar on evidence-based guidelines about managing RTIs or also 1 day of problem-solving training. The primary outcome was the percentage of change in the proportion of prescriptions containing an antibiotic for any diagnosis in 2009 versus 2004. An intention-to-treat sensitivity analysis was performed using multiple imputation. RESULTS After 4.5 years, absolute changes in the primary outcome measure were -1.1% (95% confidence interval: -2.2 to 0.0) in the intervention group and +1.4% (0.3-2.6) in the control group, yielding an adjusted between-group difference of -2.2% (-2.7 to -1.7; P < 0.001). Both intervention modalities had significant effects, and multiple imputation produced similar results. CONCLUSIONS A single, standardized and interactive educational seminar targeting GPs significantly decreased antibiotic use for RTIs after 4.5 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several observational studies on hypertensive patients have shown a gap between therapeutic targets recommended in guidelines and those achieved in daily practice. The ESCAPE trial aimed to determine whether a multifaceted intervention focused on general practitioners (GPs), could increase significantly the proportion of hypertensive patients at high risk in primary prevention who achieved all their recommended therapeutic targets. METHODS A pragmatic, cluster randomized trial involving 257 GPs randomized by region. The GPs in the intervention group had a one-day training session and were given an electronic blood pressure measurement device and a short recommendation leaflet. Along with usual follow-up, they focused one consultation on hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors every six months for two years. They also received feedback at baseline and at one year on their patients' clinical and biological parameters. Main outcome measures were change in the proportion of patients achieving all their therapeutic targets and each individual therapeutic target at two years, and quality of life. RESULTS 1,832 high-risk hypertensive patients were included. After two years, the proportion of patients achieving all their therapeutic targets increased significantly in both groups, but significantly more in the intervention group: OR (odds-ratio) 1.89, (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09 to 3.27, P = 0.02). Significantly more patients achieved their blood pressure targets in the intervention group than in the usual care group: OR 2.03 (95% CI 1.44 to 2.88, P < 0.0001). Systolic and diastolic blood pressures decreased significantly more in the intervention group than in the usual care group, by 4.8 mmHg and 1.9 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.0001 for both). There were no significant difference changes in physical and mental quality of life between groups. CONCLUSION An easy-to-perform, multifaceted intervention targeting only GPs increased significantly the proportion of high-risk hypertensive patients in primary prevention achieving their recommended therapeutic targets.

BACKGROUND The participation rate in organized breast cancer screening in France is lower than recommended. Non-participants either use opportunistic screening or do not use either screening modality. OBJECTIVE To assess any differences in perceptions, attitudes and knowledge related to breast cancer screening between users of opportunistic screening and non-users of any screening mammograms and to identify potential barriers to participation in organized screening. METHODS Six focus groups were conducted in May 2010 with 34 French non-participants in organized screening, 15 who used opportunistic screening (OpS group) and 19 who used no screening (NoS group). The guide used for both groups explored perceptions and attitudes related to health, cancer and screening; perceptions of femininity; and knowledge about breast cancer screening. Thematic content analysis was performed. RESULTS Perceptions, attitudes and knowledge differed between the two groups. Women in the OpS group perceived a high susceptibility to breast cancer, visited their gynaecologist regularly, were unfamiliar with organized screening modalities and had doubts about its quality. NoS women had very high- or low-perceived susceptibility to breast cancer, knew about screening modalities, had doubts about its usefulness and expressed negative opinions of mammograms. CONCLUSIONS Differences in perceptions and attitudes related to breast cancer screening partially explain why some women choose opportunistic screening or no screening. General practitioners and gynaecologists are in a unique position to provide individually tailored preventative messages to improve participation in organized screening.

Abstract
4622 Background: Patient adherence to oral therapy is a critical issue in cancer treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence and severity of non-adherence to OAD in mRCC and to identify factors predictive of non-adherence. Methods: Prospective observational multicenter trial performed at 11 Belgian academic and non-academic centers. All pts with mRCC starting OADs (sunitinib, pazopanib, everolimus or sorafenib) are eligible for the study. Pts are contacted by phone at baseline and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. At each contact, pts are asked to complete questionnaires investigating 1) medication adherence (MMAS), 2) patient satisfaction with treatment (CTSQ) and with treatment education (PS-CaTE), 3) the extent of information desire (EID), 4) quality of life (FACT-G and FKSI) and 5) the role of the pharmacist (SWiP). Adherence is measured using an electronic medication event monitoring system (MEMS, Aardex). Results: Between 02/2011 and 11/2011, 49 pts (m: 33, f: 16) with a median age of 63 years (range 25 - 87) have participated in the IPSOC study. Twenty-nine pts (64%) were treated with an OAD in first-line, 15 pts (33%) in second-line. With a median follow-up of 131 days (range 2 - 313) 45 pts (92%) claimed to be fully adherent to their treatment (based on MMAS and CTSQ data). Four patients indicated to have missed at least one dose, of whom two indicated they occasionally forgot their medication and two others interrupted treatment because of side effects. Based on MEMS data, mean adherence, defined as the percentage of days with at least the prescribed number of dosage taken, was 98.91%. Conclusions: The IPSOC study, the first to examine adherence to OAD among mRCC pts, shows that mRCC pts are almost fully adherent to treatment recommendations. This seems to be in contrast to adherence data for other, long-lasting, anti-cancer treatments. Further investigations will focus on the question whether extensive counseling and participation in side-effect programs contribute to the high percentage of adherence in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate capecitabine-docetaxel (XT), with trastuzumab (H) in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive disease, in inoperable locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients received up to six neoadjuvant 21-day cycles of capecitabine 900 mg/m(2) twice daily, days 1-14, plus docetaxel 36 mg/m(2), days 1 and 8. Patients with HER2-positive disease also received trastuzumab 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks. The primary end point was pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, evaluated separately in HER2-negative and HER2-positive cohorts. Secondary end points included clinical response rates and tolerability. RESULTS The pCR rate was 15% [95% confidence interval (CI) 7-28] in 53 patients receiving XT and 40% (95% CI 26-55) in 50 patients receiving HXT. After neoadjuvant therapy, 50 patients receiving XT and 45 receiving HXT underwent surgery. No unexpected toxicity was observed: the most common grade ≥3 adverse events were diarrhea/mucositis (30% and 20%, respectively) and grade 3 hand-foot syndrome (11% and 6%, respectively). Disease-free survival and overall survival were similar with XT and HXT after median follow-up of 22 months in the XT cohort and 21 months in the HXT cohort. CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant XT (HXT in HER2-positive disease) is highly effective in inoperable LABC, demonstrating pCR rates of 15% and 40%, respectively. This non-anthracycline-containing regimen offers obvious benefits in early disease, where avoidance of long-term cardiotoxicity is particularly important.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Convection-enhanced delivery using carboplatin in brainstem glioma models was reported to prolong survival. Functional impairment is of additional importance to evaluate the value of local chemotherapy. We established a neurological scoring system for the rat brainstem glioma model. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 46 male Fisher rats stereotactically 10(5) F-98 cells were implanted at 1.4-mm lateral to midline and at the lambdoid suture using guided screws. Following 4 days local delivery was performed using Alzet pumps (1 microl/h over 7 days) with either vehicle (5% dextrose) or carboplatin via one or two cannulas, respectively. All rats were subsequently tested neurologically using a specified neurological score. In 38 animals survival time was recorded. Representative MR imaging were acquired in eight rats, respectively, at day 12 after implantation. HE staining was used to evaluate tumor extension. RESULTS Neurological scoring showed significantly higher impairment in the high dose carboplatin group during the treatment period. Survival was significantly prolonged compared to control animals in the high dose carboplatin-one cannula group as well as in both low dose carboplatin groups (18.6 +/- 3 versus 26.3 +/- 9, 22.8 +/- 2, 23.6 +/- 2 days; p < 0.05). Overall neurological grading correlated with survival time. MR imaging showed a focal contrast enhancing mass in the pontine brainstem, which was less exaggerated after local chemotherapy. Histological slices visualized decreased cellular density in treatment animals versus controls. CONCLUSION Local chemotherapy in the brainstem glioma model showed significant efficacy for histological changes and survival. Our neurological grading enables quantification of drug and tumor-related morbidity as an important factor for functional performance during therapy.

Abstract
AbstractThe clinical impact of ET-743 (trabectedin; Yondelis) in women with leiomyosarcoma and undifferentiated uterine sarcoma in patients previously treated with chemotherapy is investigated. Current data show a clinical benefit in 2/5 patients, of which 1 had a partial remission during 9 months. Pooling the treatment outcomes with literature data, a response in 5 (38%) of 13 patients and a clinical benefit in 7 (54%) of 13 patients for all high-grade uterine sarcomas is calculated. When only uterine leiomyosarcomas are concerned, response rate is 5 (45%) of 11 patients with a clinical benefit in 7 (64%) of 11 patients. These results on the use of ET-743 in uterine sarcoma patients support the conductance of larger trials.

Abstract
AIM This pilot study reports on the uptake of (123)I-interleukin 2 (IL-2) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) patients and its relationship to prognostic factors of response or failure of MRCC to cytokines treatment. METHODS Nine consecutive patients with MRCC underwent an (123)I-IL-2 scan (6 male and 3 female; mean age 64 years; range 51-78). Uptake in metastases was related to a summed score of 4 independent factors, predictive of rapid progression under cytokine treatment as defined by Negrier et al. RESULTS Four patients presented with metastases at one site, 4 at 2 sites and one patient at 3 different sites. Summed scores were: 5 patients had a summed score of 1; 3 a summed score of 2 and 1 patient a summed score of 3. Uptake of (123)I-IL-2 by tumor tissue was found in only 2 patients. Uptake occurred in 1 patient with a summed score of 3 and in 1 with a summed score of 2. CONCLUSION In this small series of patients with MRCC, (123)I-IL-2 uptake was found in tumors of 2 patients who less likely will benefit from cytokine treatment. Additional studies are needed to assess the relationship between the pretreatment uptake of (123)/I-IL2 in MRCC and the response to IL-2 therapy.

Abstract
In an effort to map the use of interleukin-2 (IL-2) treatment in patients with clear cell renal cell cancer (RCC) in Belgian hospitals, 44 cases were registered from 9 hospitals between February 2003 and June 2006. It was demonstrated that the majority of these patients were treated with subcutaneous (SC) IL-2. Other methods such as the inhalation of the drug in case of intrathoracic disease or high dose intravenous (IV) administration were much less frequent (3 and 0 cases in this registry, respectively). The results of antitumour activity (around 16% partial response-absence of complete responses) and toxicity of this drug correlate with observations from the literature with the SC administration. In view of the poor results and tolerance with the currently used cytokines (IL-2 or interferon-alfa), much hope is directed towards the development of the novel targeted drugs like sunitinib or sorafenib used alone or in combination with cytokines in this disease.

Abstract
A quantitative method for the simultaneous determination of docetaxel (Taxotere), paclitaxel (Taxol), 6alpha-hydroxypaclitaxel, and p-3'-hydroxypaclitaxel in human plasma and oral fluid is developed and validated. Oral fluid (this term is now preferred to saliva) was sampled with a Salivette collection device. The procedure used a simple liquid/liquid extraction with methyl tert-butyl ether followed by LC-ESI-MS/MS. Gradient elution was applied and provided increased robustness to ion suppression by the drug formulation vehicle (polysorbate 80 and Cremophor EL). Adduct ion formation with sodium and potassium was noticed and controlled by mobile-phase optimization. The protonated analytes generated in the positive ion mode were monitored through multiple reaction monitoring. Calibration was performed by internal standardization with cephalomannine, and regression curves were constructed ranging between 2 and 1000 ng/mL in plasma and 0.125 and 62.5 ng/mL in oral fluid, using a weighing factor of 1/x2. The regression curves were quadratic for paclitaxel and docetaxel and linear for the paclitaxel metabolites. Accuracy varied from 91.3 to 103.6%, and imprecision did not exceed 12.7% for all analytes in plasma and oral fluid. In conclusion, a sensitive and robust method was obtained, which fulfilled all validation criteria.

Abstract
With the aim of temperature diagnostic, femtosecond time-resolved CARS (coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy) is applied to probe H2 in H2-N2 mixtures. In a first part, a Lorentzian profile is used to model the femtosecond CARS response. A difference between the experimental broadening and the expected one is observed in the collision regime. The observed broadening increases strongly in an inhomogeneous way with respect to the perturber concentration. This is of considerable importance for temperature measurements. In a second part, we show that in the collision regime, this inhomogeneous broadening is due to the speed dependence of the collisional parameters and the memory effects of the radiator speed. A new modelization of the time-resolved CARS response taking into account the speed memory effects is presented and applied to the temperature diagnostic in H2-N2 mixtures. The numerical results are in good agreement with experiments.

Abstract
The field-free alignment of CO2 produced in response to the excitation of a molecule by a high-intensity femtosecond pump pulse is measured with a simple coronography-like technique. The technique is based on the defocusing of a time-delayed probe pulse produced by the spatial distribution of aligned molecules. In the intensity regime explored here, the technique is shown to give valuable information about dynamic alignment. With the help of simulations, the degree of alignment is extracted from the data.

Abstract
We report a direct nonintrusive observation of alignment and planar delocalization of CO2 after an intense linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulse excitation. The effects are measured by a polarization technique involving a perturbative probe that itself does not induce appreciable alignment. We show that this technique allows one to measure a signal proportional to <cos((2)theta>-1/3, with theta the angle between the molecular axis and the laser polarization. Simulations that support this analysis allow one to characterize the experimentally observed alignment and planar delocalization quantitatively.
