This study explores the efficacy and safety of combining docetaxel and capecitabine for treating recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer.
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.
The phase 2 LuminICE study shows potential for the AFM13/AB-101 combination in treating patients with relapsed or refractory CD30-positive lymphoma.
Axel Merseburger, MD, PhD, spoke about implementing the treatment combination of enzalutamide plus docetaxel/prednisone for progressive castration-resistant prostate cancer from the PRESIDE trial into the real-world.
The discussion shares key takeaways and practical insights for optimizing the referral and treatment process for CAR T-cell and bispecific therapies.
David L. DeRemer, PharmD, BCOP, and Bently P. Doonan, MD, MS, share a perspective on ocular toxicities associated with MEK inhibition.
Panelists discuss how health care providers and patients should understand that talquetamab's unique adverse effects are temporary and resolve over time, even while continuing treatment, emphasizing the drug's excellent efficacy and the importance of removing stigma around its manageable toxicity profile.
The FDA approval of pembrolizumab plus chemoradiation benefits patients with stage III to IVA cervical cancer based on findings from the KEYNOTE-A18 trial, according to Jyoti S. Mayadev, MD.
Panelists discuss how the use of CAR T-cell therapy in earlier lines of treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma could potentially improve long-term outcomes, considering factors such as patient selection, optimal timing, and the impact on subsequent treatment options.
Yancey Warren, Jr, MD, MAT, and colleagues investigate the use of integrative oncology services among young women with breast cancer.
Lyudmila Bazhenova, MD, and Federico Albrecht, MD, detailed the importance of using real-world evidence to inform treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.
Routine biopsychosocial screening of a patient with metastatic renal cell cancer at the Centro de Câncer de Brasília improved symptom management and shrunk costs for both the patient and her caregivers.
Richard L. Martin III, MD, MPH, and Stephen Schleicher, MD, MBA, share a perspective on rural cancer care.
Panelists discuss key strides made in 2024, including exciting data presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (ASH 2024), and reflect on pivotal developments, such as new insights into Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, that are shaping clinical practice while looking ahead to 2025 with anticipation for continued advancements that will further enhance treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
Zenocutuzumab offers a targeted treatment for NRG1+ lung and pancreatic cancers, demonstrating promising efficacy and manageable adverse effects.
This study presents a case of a man, aged 56 years, found to have a 26-mm exophytic lesion on the vertex scalp identified to contain a distinct population of basal cell carcinoma as well as another population of spindled cells representing a poorly differentiated sarcomatous component.
Christopher Lee, MD discusses how genomic biomarker testing has revolutionized prostate cancer management by enabling a precision medicine approach that transitions from population-based treatments to individualized therapeutic strategies based on precise molecular profiling.
