Expert Interviews

Social workers and case managers may have access to institutional- or hospital-level grants that can reduce financial toxicity for patients undergoing cancer therapy.

Genetic backgrounds and ancestry may hold clues for better understanding pancreatic cancer, which may subsequently mitigate different disparities.

Factors like genetic mutations and smoking may represent red flags in pancreatic cancer detection, said Jose G. Trevino, II, MD, FACS.

Thomas Hope, MD, believes that an NRC initiative to update infiltration guidelines may organically address concerns that H.R. 2541 outlines.

Insurance and distance to a tertiary cancer center were 2 barriers to receiving high-quality breast cancer care, according to Rachel Greenup, MD, MPH.

Experts debate when to introduce chemotherapy, how to manage its cumulative toxicity, and how to de-escalate maintenance regimens.

The panel explores integrating molecular data to guide therapy selection and optimize sequencing strategies after resistance emerges.

Thomas Hope, MD, had not observed an adverse effect attributable to an infiltration across more than a decade of administering nuclear agents at UCSF.

The panelists investigate emerging molecular testing technologies, focusing on whole genome sequencing and advanced profiling techniques.

The discussion centers on the Imvigor011 trial, comparing its ctDNA-guided intervention approach to prostate cancer monitoring. Dr. Meeks and Dr. Tan explore how this prospective study could transform adjuvant therapy strategies in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

According to John Henson, MD, “What we need are better treatments to control the [brain] tumor once it’s detected.”

First-degree relatives of patients who passed away from pancreatic cancer should be genetically tested to identify their risk for the disease.

Panelists discuss how evolving MRD-driven and immune-based therapies are shaping a personalized future for NDMM management.

Panelists discuss how infection prevention and selective IVIG use are critical for maintaining safety during NDMM combination therapy.

Surgery and radiation chemotherapy can affect immunotherapy’s ability to target tumor cells in the nervous system, according to John Henson, MD.

Thinking about how to sequence additional agents following targeted therapy may be a key consideration in the future of lung cancer care.

Endobronchial ultrasound, robotic bronchoscopy, or other expensive procedures may exacerbate financial toxicity for patients seeking lung cancer care.

Patients with mediastinal lymph node involved-lung cancer may benefit from chemoimmunotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting.

Details updated molecular analyses showing significantly fewer resistance mutations with combination therapy.
