Genetic counseling using videos in patients with ovarian and uterine cancer

Some female cancers may be genetic, meaning they are passed down from a parent through DNA (our genetic code or roadmap). In people with certain types of ovarian and uterine cancer, it may be helpful to test their DNA for any errors that can cause cancer. There are lots of important pieces of information to share when someone is diagnosed with cancer, and we are exploring a new way to share information. Patients with certain types of ovarian or uterine cancers will watch a short video that explains what genetic testing is and why it is so important. They will fill out a survey about what they think about the video and if the information is helpful.

A Feasibility and Randomized Phase 2/3 Study of the VEFGR2/MET Inhibitor Cabozantinib in Combination with Cytotoxic Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed Osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone malignancy of childhood and adolescence. Survival rates for patients with standard risk (localized, resectable primary tumors) and high-risk disease (presence of metastases, unresectable or primary pelvic tumors) are 70% and 20-30%, respectively, and have remained unchanged for several decades despite numerous attempts to augment standard therapies. Multi-targeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (MTKIs), such as cabozantinib, can target signaling pathways that are known to be altered in osteosarcoma. Several MTKIs including cabozantinib have recently shown clinical evidence of activity in prospective studies for both pediatric and adult patients with advanced osteosarcoma. Furthermore, feasibility of administering MTKIs in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy has previously been shown in patients with AML, hepatocellular carcinoma, and soft tissue sarcomas.
