This video highlights a phase II trial that tested the addition of nivolumab to combination induction chemotherapy of cytarabine and idarubicin for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.
A 57-year-old woman with metastatic HER2/neu-positive breast cancer started treatment with a combination of docetaxel, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab. On the fourth cycle the patient complained of mild irritation and a skin rash on her left upper extremity. What is your diagnosis?
In this interview we discuss the goals of therapy in multiple myeloma, treatment combinations and transplantation, and how markers such as minimal residual disease are used.
In this interview we discuss how a short diagnosis-to-treatment interval in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is associated with worse outcomes and how this could lead to trials favoring patients with a longer diagnosis-to-treatment interval and better expected outcomes.
This video highlights four posters from SABCS on the use of mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and radiomics as biomarkers for treatment response.
The panel closes their discussion on myelofibrosis treatment updates by sharing clinical pearls for community oncologists.
This video highlights research into the use of post-transplant therapies to prevent or treat disease recurrence following allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
This video reviews classic syndromes associated with increased leukemia susceptibility and highlights pediatric patients who may be at increased risk for an inherited leukemia predisposition and should receive additional work-up.
This video highlights a study that establishes mutated CALR as a myeloproliferative neoplasms–specific tumor antigen and provides a rationale for the development of immunotherapies targeting mutated CALR.
This video highlights research that found that single-cell RNA sequencing can better characterize patients and potentially improve multiple myeloma treatment in a more personalized manner.
Panelists close the discussion by offering insights and future perspectives on the treatment landscape for follicular lymphoma.
This video reviews novel treatment approaches in the management of higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
In this interview, we discuss a mathematical model that was created to predict patient response to immunotherapy for cancer treatment.

ASCO clinical practice guidelines recommend resection followed by treatment with gemcitabine and capecitabine as the standard of care; however, neoadjuvant therapy is also considered an appropriate alternative.
Neoadjuvant therapy is an attractive approach with the promise of clinical benefit for patients with surgically resectable pancreatic cancer. However, clinical trial results in support of this approach remain unconvincing.

A 56-year-old Caucasian woman presented to her primary care physician with a 3-month history of intermittent bright red rectal blood with defecation. At her initial visit, a digital rectal examination, anoscopy, and a pelvic examination with DNA testing for high-risk HPV were performed; all results were negative. She was referred for a colonoscopy, which revealed an abnormal area with a 3 × 4–cm mass in the rectum at a distance of 10 cm from the anal verge.

With increasing cancer survival, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is becoming a prominent clinical issue. FCR is prevalent, distressing, and long-lasting, and can negatively impact patients’ quality of life, use of health services, and adherence to follow-up recommendations. Novel targeted therapies may increase risk of FCR because of longer treatment duration and follow-up, increased prognostic precision, and omission of treatment based on genomic status.

This review focuses on clinical developments and management of newly diagnosed glioblastoma, and includes a discussion about the incorporation of molecular features into the classification of this disease.
In Part 2 of this review article, we discuss the management of primary CNS lymphoma, focusing in particular on systemic therapies and radiation, as well as provide clinicians with a comprehensive overview by covering the key investigations that have brought us to our current state of knowledge, and studies that may guide future interventions.

Here, we review the barriers to adherence, including those unique to childhood cancer survivors, and the rationale for distribution of a survivorship care plan. We also discuss advantages and potential limitations of delivering survivorship care plans via web-based platforms, and describe the unique features of one of these platforms, Passport for Care.
