Expert Interviews

Data presented at SUO indicated that MK-6482 demonstrated durable efficacy in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau disease-associated clear cell renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic lesions, and hemangioblastomas by targeting the underlying pathophysiology of the disease.

The hematology and oncology fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai highlighted multiple myeloma treatments that he believes have shown promise over the past year.

The American Lung Association’s annual “State of Lung Cancer” (SOLC) report tracked the toll of lung cancer at national and state levels, identifying both promising improvements for the overall population and significant health disparities for racial and ethnic minorities.

The clinical researcher spoke about what she hopes will occur in multiple myeloma research over the next 5 years.

Wolf discusses the potential for emerging next-generation CAR T-cell treatment and the future of treating patients with multiple myeloma.

Declan Murphy talked about the future of PSMA theranostics to target metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The hematology and oncology fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai discussed exciting treatment options for patients with multiple myeloma that are being presented at ASH this year.

Narayan discusses what he thinks the future of nadofaragene firadenovec and bladder cancer are at this year’s SUO Meeting.

The expert from Cedars-Sinai Cancer spoke about the continued integration of immunotherapy-based combination regimens, and the importance of utilizing the multidisciplinary care team to mitigate any possible toxicities that may arise.

The clinical researcher spoke about the research that she is most excited to review at ASH this year.

Research from a pilot trial presented at the 2020 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting found above average complete response and disease-free survival rates for patients with DLBCL.

The study assessed the impact of a rurally focused telemedicine program on patient outcomes in the urologic oncology outpatient clinic at the University of Washington Medical Center.

The preliminary findings of the extension arm of the phase 2 GO29365 study confirmed the benefits and tolerability of polatuzumab vedotin (Polivy) plus bendamustine (Bendeka) and rituximab (Rituxan) for patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

An integrated analysis of 2 phase 3 studies with up to 6.5 years of follow-up reported the outcomes of first-line ibrutinib (Imbruvica) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma and high-risk genomic features.

This pooled analysis from 4 clinical trials suggested that though patients with TP53 aberrations remain at risk for progression, first-line treatment with ibrutinib has meaningfully improved the poor prognosis in this high-risk population.

The myeloma expert discussed the randomized, open label study measuring the safety and efficacy of daratumumab (Darzalex) plus RVd for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

The study sought to determine the impact of a rurally focused telemedicine program on patient outcomes.

The lymphoma expert spoke about the research being presented at the 2020 ASH Annual Meeting and what he believes has the potential to be most influential for treating this patient population.

The leukemia expert discussed exciting research being presented at this year’s ASH Annual Meeting.

The kidney cancer expert from the National Cancer Institute spoke about what ongoing research in the field of kidney cancer is most encouraging and where research should continue to be focused.
