The relationship between sleep duration and cancer in China remains inconclusive . The risk of incident cancer increased by 69% in individuals who slept for <7 h per day (vs. 7 to ≤8 h), 41% (HR, 1.41; 95% CI) in those who didn't take any naps during the day . However, the duration of total sleep… Continue reading Association of habitual sleep duration and its trajectory with the risk of cancer according to sex and body mass index in a population‐based cohort

Disparities in prostate cancer screening, diagnoses, management, and outcomes between Indigenous and non‐Indigenous men in a universal health care system
Indigenous men were at higher risk of developing PCa metastases than non-Indigenous men . Men in Indigenous communities were less likely to have PSA testing performed than men outside of Indigenous community .

Consensus recommendations in the management of Ewing sarcoma from the National Ewing Sarcoma Tumor Board
Ewing sarcoma is a malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue that most often occurs in adolescents and young adults . Despite an international coordinated approach, several nuances, discrepancies, and debates remain in defining the standard of care for treating ES . This report is focused on select topics that apply to the management of… Continue reading Consensus recommendations in the management of Ewing sarcoma from the National Ewing Sarcoma Tumor Board
Cancer‐associated thrombosis and drug–drug interactions of antithrombotic and antineoplastic agents
Cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) brings additional costs to health expenditures and has a negative impact on oncological outcomes . Anticoagulation is the cornerstone of the treatment, but management of CAT remains complex . New risk scoring systems or biomarkers are needed to identify patients who are more likely to benefit from prophylaxis with low bleeding risk… Continue reading Cancer‐associated thrombosis and drug–drug interactions of antithrombotic and antineoplastic agents
Assessing trends in breast care surveillance metrics after implementing surgeon‐specific tracking and performance reporting in a large, integrated cancer network
There are few quality metrics and benchmarks specific to surgical oncology . Development of a surgeon-level performance metrics system based on peer comparisons is hypothesized to positively influence surgical decision-making . This study established a tracking and reporting system comprised of evidence and consensus-based metrics to assess breast care delivered by individual surgeons . The… Continue reading Assessing trends in breast care surveillance metrics after implementing surgeon‐specific tracking and performance reporting in a large, integrated cancer network
Parents’ expectations, preferences, and recall of germline findings in a childhood cancer precision medicine trial
Germline genome sequencing in childhood cancer precision medicine trials may reveal pathogenic variants in cancer predisposition genes in more than 10% of children . These findings can have implications for diagnosis, treatment, and the child’s and family’s future cancer risk .

Endometrial cancer risk and trends among distinct African descent populations
Endometrial cancer (EC) is the fourth most common cancer among Black women in the United States, a population disproportionately affected by aggressive nonendometrioid subtypes (e.g., carcinosarcoma) The authors analyzed 34,789 EC cases from Florida (FL), Martinique (2005–2018), and Guadeloupe (2008–2019) based on cancer registry data .
