This case presents a patient with locally advanced, unresectable, mismatch repair–deficient sigmoid colon cancer who was treated with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy followed by surgical resection leading to a complete pathologic response after preoperative systemic chemoimmunotherapy.
Panelists discuss a clinical scenario involving a 56-year-old male man with myeloma and del 17p deletion, treated with RVD induction, auto transplant, and lenalidomide maintenance, who relapsed after 2 years and is now referred to discuss chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) CAR-T versus vs standard therapy, sharing key takeaways and pearls from the case.
A nulliparous woman, age 25 years, had received a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and now presented with stage IIA diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Due to potential risks of chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity and subsequent iatrogenic premature ovarian failure and fertility loss, the patient was referred to the reproductive medicine department for fertility preservation counseling and further management.
A rare case of spinal atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is presented in an adult man after presenting with neck pain and bilateral upper extremity paralysis.
Moderator Ajai Chari, MD, leads the panel in sharing clinical pearls for management of CRS and ICANS in multiple myeloma before closing out the final module.
Findings highlight the challenge of evolving logistics for testing and related decision-making in the treatment of those with gastric or GEJ cancers.
Panelists discuss how unmet needs in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (R/R FL), including durability of responses, adverse effect management, personalized treatment, resistance to therapy, and access to care, are driving exciting developments in emerging targeted therapies, improved CAR T technologies, combination approaches, and efforts to enhance access and affordability for patients.
Rituximab-subcutaneously is associated with significantly reduced chair time vs rituximab-intravenously in a US oncology setting. Widespread adoption would be expected to improve practice efficiency and patient access to care, and to reduce health care resource burden.
Data from the IGNYTE trial demonstrate the development of a robust systemic antitumor response following treatment with RP1.
Panelists discuss how the treatment landscape for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is poised for transformation as novel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell approaches integrate with existing therapies, enhancing efficacy and durability. Insights from Tandem 2025 highlight advancements in cellular therapy, including combinatorial strategies and next-generation chimeric antigen receptor T-cell designs, driving optimism for improved patient outcomes.
Vikram Narayan, MD, details the little-known fact that tobacco cessation is a leading preventative strategy of bladder cancer recurrence.
Panelists discuss how oral and subcutaneous therapies have improved the quality of life for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with Squires sharing patient benefits from newer administration routes, and Dr Scott highlighting promising developments in EGFR-mutated NSCLC treatments, while exploring the evolving role of patient empowerment, self-management, and the multidisciplinary care team in supporting patients through home-based care and active participation in their treatment journey.
“You have to look at the cell-free DNA results with a grain of salt and with some degree of sophistication in terms of what you can act on as a predictive biomarker in the blood.”
An expert from Ochsner Health discusses the essential role positive lifestyle habits and regular screenings play in preventing cancer diagnoses.
Naveen Pemmaraju, MD, discusses adverse effects associated with JAK inhibitors in the treatment of myelofibrosis, and the Oncology Brothers recap the entire discussion.
Phillip H. Kuo, MD, PhD, spoke about incorporating prostate-specific membrane antigen–PET imaging into multidisciplinary care for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Experts from Ochsner Health close out their panel on multiple myeloma management by identifying unmet needs and sharing excitement for future evolution in the treatment landscape.
In May 2012, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) released a recommendation against prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for men. The justification for this recommendation was that large randomized trials demonstrated that PSA screening increased detection of prostate cancer, but there was "small to no reduction in prostate cancer-specific mortality."
We spoke with Dr. Priya Kumthekar and Dr. Alexander Stegh about their nucleic acid-based therapeutic development that targets glioblastoma.
Ahead of the ASCO-sponsored 2017 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium being held February 16th to February 18th in Orlando, Florida, we spoke with Dr. Ana Aparicio about the role of androgen receptors in prostate cancer.
We spoke with Dr. Anas Younes about the molecular characteristics of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Loss of function of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene leads to resistance to therapies targeting the Notch signaling pathway according to a mouse study presented at the 2016 Society of Gynecologic Oncology annual meeting, held in San Diego, March 19-22, 2016.
In this interview with Jorge Cortes, MD, he discusses why gemtuzumab ozogamicin is experiencing a comeback for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
A recent study published in European Urology suggests that patterns of treatment failure might help to predict what the next treatment should be for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
