CancerNetwork® spoke with Ronnie Shapira-Frommer, MD, during the Society of Gynecological Oncology 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer about her thoughts on the effect of the conference content across multidisciplinary specialties.

CancerNetwork® sat down with Ronnie Shapira-Frommer, MD, to discuss research that was presented at the Society of Gynecological Oncology (SGO) 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer.

Shapira-Frommer discussed multidisciplinary care in the treatment of various gynecologic malignancies and how the data at the meeting facilitate this approach.

Transcription:

We have to face patients’ cancer as a multidisciplinary team with the strength of each expertise, including surgical, radiotherapy, and medical oncologist joined together. This is unique for this field of treatment. Pushing forward with the preclinical studies and with the data [from the SGO Annual Meeting], we can move forward patient care in the best of their interest, and for us as well.

Harmonizing protocols across the health care system may bolster the feasibility of giving bispecifics to those with lymphoma in a community setting.
Although accuracy remains a focus in whole-body MRI testing in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, comfortable testing experiences may ease anxiety.
Subsequent testing among patients in a prospective study may affirm the ability of cfDNA sequencing to detect cancers in those with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
cfDNA sequencing may allow for more accessible, frequent, and sensitive testing compared with standard surveillance in Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
STX-478 showed efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors regardless of whether they had kinase domain or helical PI3K mutations.
STX-478 may avoid adverse effects associated with prior PI3K inhibitors that lack selectivity for the mutated protein vs the wild-type protein.
Phase 1 data may show the possibility of rationally designing agents that can preferentially target PI3K mutations in solid tumors.
Funding a clinical trial to further assess liquid biopsy in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome may help with detecting cancers early across the board.
Michael J. Hall, MD, MS, FASCO, discusses the need to reduce barriers to care for those with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, including those who live in rural areas.
