Panelists offer concluding perspectives on the future role of circulating tumor DNA in colorectal cancer management.
A study aimed to determine the variables that correlated with extravasation rates in patients receiving radiation injection therapy.
Lindsey Roeker, MD, spoke about identifying the correct population of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who will benefit from umbralisib and ublituximab plus ibrutinib.
CancerNetwork® sat down with Alicia Morgans MD, MPH, at the 2021 European Society for Medical Oncology to talk survival and progression outcomes from the CARD trial in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
This study investigated the biomarker potential of glutamine among known prognostic variables in localized prostate cancer.
The aim of this meta-analysis is to analyze the efficacy of these drugs in the treatment of mCRPC in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), using the results of completed trials.
A phase 2 trial found that pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib elicited an overall response rate of 37.5% that consisted entirely of partial responses in high-grade serous PROC.
The NETRF lends funding to help discover new and emerging treatment options in neuroendocrine tumors, according to Anna Greene, PhD.
James J. Driscoll, MD, PhD, and James Ignatz-Hoover, MD, PhD, share a perspective on a study published recently in ONCOLOGY.
A Q&A session with the expert panel.
Investigators report a case of a man, aged 55 years, with an extensive and prolonged course of an unexplained multi-systemic disease, and also review common clinical manifestations, mutations, diagnoses, and targeted therapies for Erdheim-Chester disease.
Rahiya Rehman, MD, and co-investigators, research the importance of poor follow-up and care for survivors of childhood cancer.
Univariate and multivariate analyses showed no significant association between statin use and grade 3 or higher toxicities in patients with CLL or SLL.
Key points: Patients with disorders of sex development (DSDs) are at an increased risk of malignant germ cell tumors (GCTs). In adulthood, the partial form of androgen insensitivity syndrome confers the greatest risk of developing malignant GCTs. Gonadoblastoma is the most common gonadal GCT arising in patients with DSDs. Despite being a benign neoplasm, it can undergo malignant transformation in up to 60% of patients with a DSD. Oncologic treatment in patients with disorders of sex development and malignant GCTs does not differ from the standard treatment for testicular GCTs. Treatment of patients with DSDs requires a multidisciplinary team, including a psychiatric, genetic, and reproductive assessment as well as the involvement of an ethics committee. An early diagnosis of DSDs is crucial to avoid the development of potentially serious complications in adulthood.
Surgical oncologists from Cleveland Clinic discuss the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer and its aim to improve patient outcomes.
Panelists discuss how, data-free navigation of HER2+ breast cancer treatment requires careful consideration of established guidelines while accounting for individual patient factors. Treatment typically follows a multimodal approach, combining targeted HER2 therapies, chemotherapy, and surgery based on clinical expertise.
Panelists discuss how, for a patient who has an aggressive disease, physicians will plan for monthly serum markers including serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) and immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE); if they start seeing an increase in the disease, they plan an imaging for bone marrow biopsy and consider a diagnostics lumbar puncture.
Panelists discuss how Prolaris distinguishes itself from other genomic biomarker platforms by providing uniquely actionable clinical information that quantifies the absolute benefit of androgen deprivation therapy when added to radiation therapy, offering clinicians a more precise tool for personalizing prostate cancer treatment strategies.
Cara Mathews, MD, spoke with CancerNetwork® about research examining dostarlimab vs doxorubicin for patients with mismatch repair–deficient endometrial cancers.
Investigators discussed the potential link between secondary pure red cell aplasia and subcutaneous daratumumab/hyaluronidase formulation for multiple myeloma.
