1Oregon Health and Science University, Knight Cancer Institute, Portland, OR.
Summary
ASCO Rapid Recommendations Updates provide timely revisions to cancer care guidelines based on new evidence. These updates ensure healthcare professionals and patients have access to the latest, practice-changing cancer treatment information.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Clinical Practice Guidelines
Background:
- Existing clinical guidelines require updates as new medical evidence emerges.
- Practice-changing data necessitates timely dissemination to healthcare providers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight revisions to select American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guideline recommendations.
- To inform health practitioners and the public about the best available cancer care options.
Main Methods:
- ASCO Rapid Recommendations Updates are based on thorough evidence reviews.
- The updates adhere to established ASCO Guideline development processes.
Main Results:
- Revisions to specific ASCO guideline recommendations are published.
- Updated information is made available to guide cancer care decisions.
Conclusions:
- Rapid updates ensure guidelines reflect the most current, evidence-based cancer care.
- Timely dissemination of guideline changes supports optimal patient outcomes.

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

6.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

02:56Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.3K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

390
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
