Francisco Partners to acquire Orchard Software
November 2019—Francisco Partners, a technology-focused private equity firm, announced Sept. 30 its intent to acquire Orchard Software. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle, on Oct. 2, spoke with Orchard founder and CEO Rob Bush and with Billie Whitehurst, who will succeed Bush as CEO. Whitehurst most recently was senior vice president at Netsmart. Here is what they, and Curt Johnson and Kerry Foster, of Orchard, had to say about the acquisition.

November 2019—We read with interest the case described by Vormittag-Nocito, et al., of metastatic bladder adenocarcinoma with associated molecular pathology findings (September 2019). However, we would like to point out what we believe to be an important update related to the significance of FGFR3 alterations in urothelial carcinoma. When referring to TP53 and FGFR3 alterations in urothelial carcinoma, the authors write that “no targeted therapy or prognostic implications can be made about these mutations at this time.”

Intensive versus standard blood pressure control with cerebral white matter lesions
November 2019—The effect of intensive systolic blood pressure control on brain health is uncertain, despite its efficacy for reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, hypertension is a primary risk factor for cerebral small vessel ischemic disease (SVID), especially in developing white matter lesions (WML). The pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease and related dementia is known to be associated with SVID and cognitive decline.

Angiosarcoma of the liver: clinicopathologic features and morphologic patterns
November 2019—Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the liver for which morphologic patterns have not been systematically studied. To provide more comprehensive data on morphologic patterns, the authors reviewed angiosarcomas that had been diagnosed between 1996 and 2016 at a large medical referral center. The major growth patterns were classified as sinusoidal (nonmass forming) or mass forming.

Tumor microbiome diversity 
and composition: influence on pancreatic cancer outcomes
November 2019—Pancreatic adenocarcinoma has a dismal prognosis, with a high incidence of relapse and a median overall survival of 24 to 30 months. Only nine percent of patients are alive five years after surgery. Genome-wide mutational landscape studies to decipher the factors that contribute to long-term survival have been futile. Recent studies in patients with melanoma and lung cancer have shown that the gut microbiota can mediate tumor responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy, influencing overall outcome.
