    Age is a major risk factor for sporadic colon cancer (CC). In the general population, the side of the tumor (right versus left) shows a possible significant prognostic effect, with right tumors displaying the worst outcome due to biological differences. However, little is known about the role of sidedness in the older population. We conducted a pooled analysis of observational and prospective studies to confirm or reject the hypothesis that side is a prognostic variable, even in older patients with CC.

    To compare 10-year melanoma-specific mortality and overall mortality between people with multiple primary melanomas and a single primary melanoma, researchers drew from the Melanoma Patterns of Care study, in Australia.

    PURPOSE Current guidelines recommend molecular genotyping for patients newly diagnosed with metastatic nonsquamous (mNSq) non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The association between availability of molecular genotyping before first line (1L) therapy and overall survival (OS) is not known. METHODS We conducted a real-world cohort study using electronic health records in patients newly diagnosed with mNSq NSCLC. Cox proportional-hazards multivariable regression models were constructed to examine the association between OS and test result availability before 1L therapy, adjusting for covariates. Additional analyses were conducted to assess the consistency and strength of the relationship. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the association between concurrent tissue and plasma testing (v tissue alone) and result availability. RESULTS Three hundred twenty-six patients were included, 80% (261/326) with results available before 1L (available testing group), and 20% (
