VJ/OA Oncology Journal Club (Breast Cancer): Assisted reproductive technology in young BRCA carriers with a pregnancy after breast cancer with Dr. Magaton
This international retrospective cohort study evaluated the safety of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in BRCA1/2 carriers who conceived after a breast cancer diagnosis at age 40 or younger. Among 543 women, 107 conceived using ART and 436 conceived spontaneously. ART methods included oocyte/embryo cryopreservation, in vitro fertilization, ovulation induction, and oocyte donation. Patients who used ART were generally older, had more hormone receptor-positive tumors, and a longer interval from diagnosis to conception. After a median follow-up of 5.2 years post-conception, ART use was not associated with an increased risk of disease-free survival events, suggesting that ART is a safe option for pregnancy after breast cancer in this population.

Oncology Here & Now (General Cancer): Cancer Report to the Nation with Dr. Ahmedin Jemal & Dr. Gil Morgan
Join Dr. Jemal & Dr Morgan as they discuss this report, a collaboration among major U.S. cancer surveillance organizations, presents the latest national data on cancer incidence and mortality. Using data from cancer registries and national vital statistics, the analysis shows that while overall cancer death rates have steadily declined over the past 20 years — including during the COVID-19 pandemic — the annual rate of decline has recently slowed. Cancer incidence rates remained stable among males and rose slightly among females over time, with a temporary dip across all groups in 2020 likely due to pandemic-related disruptions in healthcare access. However, incidence rates rebounded to prepandemic levels by 2021, suggesting a limited long-term impact of COVID-19 on cancer detection trends.https://acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/cncr.35833

VJ/OA Oncology Journal Club (Pancreatic Cancer): Nonoperative Management of Technically Resectable Pancreatic Cancer With Ablative Radiation Therapy by Dr. Marsha Reyngold
Cohort study evaluated the use of ablative radiation therapy (A-RT) as a noninvasive alternative to surgery in 25 patients with technically resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who were ineligible for surgery due to comorbidities. Conducted at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center between 2016 and 2022, the study found that A-RT, delivered with high precision and dose intensity, provided promising local control and overall survival, with a 2-year OS rate of 43.7% and manageable toxicity. Despite advanced age, poor performance status, and limited chemotherapy use in the cohort, outcomes suggest A-RT may be a viable local therapy for select patients with resectable PDAC, warranting further prospective investigation.Link to Arcticlehttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/article-abstract/2832566
