Public health addresses child maltreatment and other adverse childhood experiences by focusing primarily on preventing them from happening in the first place; understanding and addressing their individual, relational, community, and societal causes using the best available scientific evidence; and engaging in large-scale, multi-sector partnerships. Such large scale efforts require bringing together a compelling narrative, relationships, and strategy. This article describes how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used a public health approach to develop a narrative, relationships, and strategy to prevent child maltreatment.Background NUT midline carcinoma, renamed NUT carcinoma (NC), is an aggressive squamous cancer defined by rearrangement of the NUTM1 gene. Although a subset of patients can be cured, for the majority of patients the prognosis is grim. We sought to classify patients into risk groups based on molecular and clinicopathologic factors at the time of diagnosis. Methods Clinicopathologic variables and survival outcomes were extracted for a total of 141 NC patients from the NUT midline carcinoma Registry using questionnaires and medical records. Translocation type was identified by molecular analyses. Survival tree regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors associated with overall survival (OS). Results For 141 patients, the median age at diagnosis was 23.6 years. Fifty-one percent had thoracic origin compared with 49% nonthoracic sites (41% head and neck, 6% bone or soft tissue, 1% other). The median OS was 6.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.8 to 9.1 months). Most patients had the BRD4-NUTM1 fusion (78%), followed by BRD3-NUTM1 (15%) and NSD3-NUTM1 (6%). Survival tree regression identified three statistically distinct risk groups among 124 patients classified by anatomical site and genetics group A is nonthoracic primary, BRD3-, or NSD3-NUT (n = 12, median OS = 36.5 months, 95% CI = 12.5 to not reported months); group B is nonthoracic primary, BRD4-NUT (n = 45, median OS = 10 months, 95% CI = 7 to 14.6 months); and group C is thoracic primary (n = 67, median OS = 4.4 months, 95% CI = 3.5 to 5.6 months). Only groups A and B had long-term (≥3 years, n = 12) survivors. Conclusions We identify three risk groups defined by anatomic site and NUT fusion type. Nonthoracic primary with non-BRD4-NUT fusion confers the best prognosis, followed by nonthoracic primary with BRD4-NUT. Thoracic NC patients, regardless of the NUT fusion, have the worst survival. © The Author(s) 2019.

This first-in-human study evaluated the safety, recommended phase II dose, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain inhibitor molibresib (GSK525762) in patients with nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinoma (NC) and other solid tumors. Methods This was a phase I and II, open-label, dose-escalation study. Molibresib was administered orally once daily. Single-patient dose escalation (from 2 mg/d) was conducted until the first instance of grade 2 or higher drug-related toxicity, followed by a 3 + 3 design. Pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained during weeks 1 and 3. Circulating monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels were measured as a pharmacodynamic biomarker. Results Sixty-five patients received molibresib. During dose escalation, 11% experienced dose-limiting toxicities, including six instances of grade 4 thrombocytopenia, ess.Background Hyperinsulinemia, high insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) levels, and low IGF binding protein 1 (IGFBP1) levels have been implicated in the relationship between obesity and increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it remains inconclusive whether circulating biomarkers of insulin and the IGF axis are associated with conventional adenoma and serrated polyp, the two distinct groups of CRC precursors. Methods We prospectively examined the associations of plasma C-peptide, IGF1, IGFBP1, IGFBP3, and IGF1 to IGFBP3 ratio with conventional adenoma and serrated polyp among 11 072 women from the Nurses' Health Studies. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) per 1-SD increase in each biomarker for overall risk of conventional adenoma and serrated polyp and according to polyp feature. Results During 20 years of follow-up, we documented 1234 conventional adenomas and 914 serrated polyps. After adjusting for various lifestyle factors (including body mass index), higher concentrations of IGFBP1 were associated with lower risk of serrated polyp (OR = 0.84, 95% confidence interval = 0.75 to 0.95, P = .005). The association was particularly strong for large serrated polyp (≥10 mm) located in the distal colon and rectum (OR = 0.59, 95% confidence interval = 0.39 to 0.87, P = .01). In contrast, we did not find any statistically significant association between the biomarkers and conventional adenoma. Conclusions A higher plasma level of IGFBP1 was associated with lower risk of serrated polyp. Our findings support a potential role of IGFBP1 in the serrated pathway of CRC in women. © The Author(s) 2019.

Bindarit We evaluated tumor, treatment, and patient characteristics that contribute to racial differences in BC mortality in Atlanta, Georgia, where the disparity was previously characterized as especially large. Methods We identified 4943 NHW and 3580 NHB women in the Georgia Cancer Registry with stage I-IV BC diagnoses in Atlanta (2010-2014). We used Cox proportional hazard regression to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) comparing NHB vs NHW BC mortality by tumor, treatment, and patient characteristics on the additive and multiplicative scales. We additionally estimated the mediating effects of these characteristics on the association between race and BC mortality. Results At diagnosis, NHB women were younger-with higher stage, node-positive, and triple-negative tumors relative to NHW women.
