Several factors may contribute to the low Hispanic breast cancer population at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, including a lack of resources and a focus on other disease types.

An expert discussion surrounding the evolving treatment landscape for relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma in the third-line setting and beyond.

Faculty review potential adverse events (AEs) seen in patients receiving treatment with bispecific antibodies and discuss preferred strategies for AE management.

John C. Molina, MD, EdM, reviews data from the 3-year update from the OPTIC study, and other experts offer their impressions.

Experts in the field of chronic myeloid leukemia discuss the role of asciminib in the overall treatment landscape.

Medical expert outlines that resistance to BTK inhibitors in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia is commonly mediated by mutations in BTK or phospholipase Cγ2 proteins, and highlights new, unique mutation patterns in zanubrutinib; he also mentions emerging therapies including noncovalent BTK inhibitors and clinical trials focusing on BTK degradation for additional lines of therapy.

The panel discusses key data from the ALPINE trial comparing ibrutinib and zanubrutinib in relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia, showing a progression-free survival favoring zanubrutinib; Ricardo Parrondo, MD, suggests this may be due to its better toxicity profile, leading to longer patient adherence.

Faiz Answer, MD, FACP, reviews data from the REMIX study on the real-world effectiveness of ixazomib combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Experts in the field of multiple myeloma discuss data from a retrospective study on patients with multiple myeloma.

Dr Luciano Costa discusses treatment options for patients with multiple myeloma with early vs late relapse, noting that those with early aggressive relapse have limited options and often rapidly exhaust available therapies, emphasizing the need for newer agents like bispecific antibodies.

Binod Dhakal, MD, presents the case of a young man with aggressive relapsed multiple myeloma to the panel for discussion.

Financial constraints and a lack of education among some patients and providers must be addressed to improve the real-world use of certain prostate cancer therapies, says Neeraj Agarwal, MD.

Explore the potential in earlier use of novel therapy in multiple myeloma, including immunotherapy, bispecifics, and CAR-T therapies, with promising responses and potential paradigm shifts.

Expert perspectives on treatment decision-making in early-relapse multiple myeloma and the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy.

A panel of oncologists give an overview of clinical trial data surrounding the management of early-relapse multiple myeloma.

Novel anti-PSMA monoclonal antibody rosopatamab is capable of carrying a bigger payload of radiation particles, which may potentially reduce doses for patients with prostate cancer, says Neeraj Agarwal, MD.

Misako Nagasaka, MD, PhD, and Kristen Neumann, DNP, FNP-C, emphasize the importance of patient education, discussing how understanding the biological reasons behind treatments for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and their side effects can lead to better outcomes, and highlighting the need for collaborative care and clear communication.

Expert oncologists offer considerations for the use of CAR-T therapy and bispecific antibodies in follicular lymphoma and discuss potential challenges that may limit the use of these agents in clinical practice.
