Surgery is tied to improved chances of survival among stage four breast cancer patients, a new study suggests, but who has access to surgery and who doesn't can vary drastically, based on factors including income level and where treatment is administered. Surgery to remove tumors was associated with a 44% increased chance of survival within an average follow up period of 21 months, according to the abstract, to be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research's annual meeting in Atlanta.

Futurity
Human papillomavirus infection rates are increasing in women born after 1980 who did not receive the HPV vaccine, research finds. The recent model indicates that while there may be a substantial increase in HPV prevalence in more recent birth cohorts, HPV vaccination may ultimately control adverse HPV-related outcomes, including genital warts and cancer. Questions still remain, such as why there is a peak in HPV infection among 45-to-55-year-olds.

Just when you thought you were done implementing a new terminology for cytology, another one pops up.
Is it possible there are sites that have not yet been standardized? Unbelievably, the most common nongynecologic cytology specimen, body fluids, remains a Wild West for terminology and the International Academy of Cytology and American Society of Cytopathology are collaborating to improve consistency and understanding for serous fluid cytology reporting by developing The International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytology, or TISRSFC.

A new study evaluated an alternative HPV cervical cancer test for women who are reluctant to have a pap smear. This new study conducted in France, presented in an oral session at the European Congress for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, found the urinary human papillomavirus test could be an alternative to the usual screening by a cervical pap smear. This would extend cancer screening coverage to more women.

Screening for cervical cancer has been a "great success," according to a speaker at the American College of Physicians Internal Medicine Meeting. However, socioeconomic barriers prevent all women from gaining equal access to screening. "Although the mortality rate from cervical cancer has continued to drop since the 1970s in parallel with incidence, our treatments aren't really better," Kathleen McIntyre-Seltman, MD, of Magee Womens Hospital at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, said during a presentation. "The reason women aren't dying as much from cervical cancer is because there is less cervical cancer."

When pathologist Sandra Ewaskow, MD, was asked at a recent medical conference what topic she would choose if she were to write a book in her field, she thought of her own experience with musculoskeletal pain and of her mother, who had recently been hospitalized for occupational therapy after a hip fracture.

Patients with early-stage follicular lymphoma who relapsed after primary radiotherapy had excellent prognoses, supporting “the role of primary radiation in the management of early-stage disease,” according to a retrospective study. Of the approximate one-third of patients with relapsed disease after primary radiotherapy, the majority were still alive 3 years post-relapse, reported Dr. Michael S. Binkley, M.S., of Stanford Cancer Institute and Stanford University School of Medicine, and colleagues. The results were published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics.

Primary tumor location has been shown to be prognostic of overall survival (OS) in patients with both locally advanced and metastatic colorectal cancer. The impact of sidedness on prognosis has not been evaluated in the setting of peritoneal-only metastases treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). A retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases of patients with peritoneal surface malignancy undergoing CRS/HIPEC from three high-volume centers was performed. There was a dramatic, clinically significant difference in OS between patients with right- and left-sided tumors, and primary tumor side was an independent predictor of DFS and OS.
