Patient Case Presentation: A 69-Year-Old With Newly Diagnosed EGFR-Mutant mNSCLC and Symptomatic Brain Metastases

Panelists discuss how a 69-year-old woman with newly diagnosed EGFR-mutant mNSCLC and symptomatic brain metastases requires immediate multidisciplinary care including steroids, radiation oncology consultation, and potential hospitalization, with treatment approach favoring stereotactic radiosurgery for dominant lesions followed by combination therapy like FLAURA2, while emphasizing that asymptomatic patients might allow for initial tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment with close monitoring before considering radiation to potentially reduce treatment field and minimize long-term neurotoxicity.

Novel Therapies for Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Spotlight on Immunotherapy and Antibody-Drug Conjugates

This review article published in the journal ONCOLOGY® looks at the successful clinical development of immunotherapies, PARP inhibitors, and antibody-drug conjugates for the management of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and how these have improved the survival outcome of patients. Over the coming years, therapeutic developments in precision medicine will likely change the treatment landscape and might make the current definition of triple-negative breast cancer as a disease that is estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 negative obsolete.
