Molecular Targeting in Cancer Therapy: Can We Fulfill the Promise?
November 16th 2012Work remains in the development of a clinically useful tumor classification system that includes molecular characterization of tumors, in our understanding of the implications of tumor heterogeneity, and in the development of more relevant and efficient clinical trials. Nonetheless, there is great excitement that a new era in the treatment of cancer is beginning.
Improving Harmonious Precision
October 23rd 2012During the past decade, targeted therapeutics have changed the landscape of cancer therapy with bold brush strokes, but the resulting images are still unclear. As we enter into the second decade of targeted therapy, our increased understanding of tumor biology together with cancer genomic sequencing tools will clearly show the way forward. It is imperative that we use these fine brushes, not only to improve precision, but in the end to realize the art of medicine.
Molecular Profiling Assays in Breast Cancer: Are We Ready for Prime Time?
April 15th 2012In this review, we will present the current data on commercially available molecular profiling assays in breast cancer and discuss the challenges surrounding their incorporation into routine clinical practice as prognostic and predictive tools.
Scoring System May Predict Chemo Response in Ovarian Cancer Patients
April 14th 2012A study published today details a scoring system that may predict which ovarian cancer patients responded to first-line platinum chemotherapy based on a DNA-repair pathway-focused score. The score is based on a gene expression profile of 23 DNA-repair genes that normally function to repair platinum-induced DNA damage.
Large Study of Female Cancer Survivors Highlights Poor Health Behaviors
February 29th 2012Following a large survey of more than 22,000 US women, researchers from H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, in Tampa, Florida, have concluded that a significant proportion of female cancer survivors have poor health behaviors, compared with women who have not had cancer.
PARP Inhibition in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: High Hopes Undergo a Reality Check
February 15th 2012This article reviews the trials that have been conducted with PARP inhibitors in epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer, and places the impact of those results in the larger context of PARP inhibitor development.
Mother-To-Be and Cancer Patient-New Treatment Guidelines
February 14th 2012Four publications on cancer treatment during pregnancy were published last week in the journal Lancet, serving as new treatment guidelines for chemotherapy and surgery in pregnant patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
The Maze of PARP Inhibitors in Ovarian Cancer
February 10th 2012The development of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as a new class of anticancer agents has created a tremendous amount of hope in the ovarian cancer community, especially in the high-risk, difficult-to-screen, hereditary ovarian cancer population.
The Year in Oncology: Breakthroughs and Controversies
December 15th 2011The past year in oncology was highlighted by the continuation of breakthroughs in targeted therapies-with new treatments receiving US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), lymphoma, and melanoma.
Long-Term Coffee Consumption Associated With Reduced Endometrial Cancer Risk
November 28th 2011Coffee is emerging as a protective agent against a number of diseases, including cancer. A study published last week shows that women who drank more than four cups of coffee per day cut their risk of endometrial cancer by 25% compared with those who drank less than one cup per day.
FDA Revokes Avastin Approval for Breast Cancer Indication
November 18th 2011The US Food and Drug Administration announced today that it has revoked the approval of bevacizumab for breast cancer due to the potentially life-threatening side effects associated with the treatment. It was approved for metastatic breast cancer in February 2008, but data later showed that along with an increase in side effects, there was no increase in overall survival.
HE4 Biomarker Test Is Approved for Use in Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA)
October 19th 2011In September 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved marketing of the HE4 Test (Fujirebio Diagnostics, Malvern, Pennsylvania) along with the CA-125 test in the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm, called ROMA, to determine the likelihood of finding malignancy at surgery in premenopausal or postmenopausal women presenting with an ovarian adnexal mass.
The Complexity of Hereditary Cancer Syndromes
October 19th 2011Counseling women at high risk for ovarian and uterine cancer is a complex process, from genetic diagnosisto the management of at-risk women. Rimes andcolleagues have presented these challenging issues, andsuggested ways to manage them, very well.
PARP Inhibitors in Breast Cancer: BRCA and Beyond
October 15th 2011The aim of this article is to review the preclinical data and rationale for PARP inhibitor use in the aforementioned settings, as well as the current status of the clinical development of these agents in the treatment of breast cancer, along with future directions for research in this field.
Large-Scale Sequencing Study Identifies BRIP1 as an Ovarian Cancer Risk Gene
October 12th 2011The mining of whole genomes from 656 Icelanders with ovarian cancer and the comparison of these genomes to 41,675 control genotyped Icelanders has led to the identification of 16 million sequence variants that were tested for their association to ovarian cancer, one of the deadliest forms of cancer among women.
