®) an alliance of leading cancer centers has published new best practice recommendations for Management of COVID-19 Infection in Patients with Cancer. This new expert guidance cites more than 150 studies covering how best to manage and treat diagnosed or suspected COVID-19 in cancer patients to achieve the best possible outcomes for all conditions. The recommendations include topics such as:
Who should be tested for SARS-CoV-2;
Which SARS-CoV-2 tests to use;
How to use/interpret PCR cycle threshold (Ct) value;
Who should be isolated, how, and for how long;
When to modify chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or transplantation schedules;
And which COVID-19-directed treatment(s) to use under various circumstances.

Discoveries of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation, co-deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 and the long arm of chromosome 19 (1p19q), O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter methylation, and histone H3-K27M mutation have led to a better understanding of the molecular aberrations associated with Brain Tumors.

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ New research in the March 2021 issue of
and survival in patients with advanced cancer undergoing an unplanned hospitalization. The researchers also found nearly two-thirds of the patients in that population had significant muscle loss (sarcopenia), and that those with a higher body mass index (BMI) tended to have lower muscle quality despite higher quantity. They highlight the need for additional work to continue investigating how best to utilize computerized tomography (CT) scans to measure muscle mass and density to improve clinical outcomes. We hope that our work leads to future efforts for assessing patients muscle health potentially using CT scans as a strategy for identifying patients who may benefit from fitness or nutrition interventions, in order to enhance clinical outcomes, said lead researcher
