Social workers and case managers may have access to institutional- or hospital-level grants that can reduce financial toxicity for patients undergoing cancer therapy.

Genetic backgrounds and ancestry may hold clues for better understanding pancreatic cancer, which may subsequently mitigate different disparities.

A recent study found that the number of practicing oncologists is declining as the US population ages and cancer diagnoses continue to increase.

Investigators noted 1 instance of rectovaginal fistula in the PEG gel arm, although rapid postoperative recovery occurred.

Factors like genetic mutations and smoking may represent red flags in pancreatic cancer detection, said Jose G. Trevino, II, MD, FACS.

Thomas Hope, MD, believes that an NRC initiative to update infiltration guidelines may organically address concerns that H.R. 2541 outlines.

ORR, DOR, PFS, and OS showed continued improvement for patients with relapsed/refractory LBCL receiving tisagenlecleucel.

The regulatory decision was supported by findings from the phase 1/2 BGB-11417-201 trial, which evaluated sonrotoclax monotherapy in those with MCL.

Insurance and distance to a tertiary cancer center were 2 barriers to receiving high-quality breast cancer care, according to Rachel Greenup, MD, MPH.

In the 177Lu plus SBRT arm, the median PFS was 17.6 months vs 7.4 months in the SBRT alone arm for patients with oligorecurrent HSPC.

Thomas Hope, MD, had not observed an adverse effect attributable to an infiltration across more than a decade of administering nuclear agents at UCSF.

Investigators are currently assessing the safety and preliminary activity of AVZO-103 among patients with advanced solid tumors in a phase 1/2 trial.

Results from MATTERHORN showed durvalumab plus FLOT improved EFS and OS compared with placebo plus FLOT in patients with gastric/GEJ cancers.

Results from the TRANSCEND NHL 001 trial showed that liso-cel achieved an ORR of 82.7% in patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma.

One patient with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme reached 3 years of survival following treatment with temferon in a phase 1/2a trial.

PAS-004 was deemed safe and tolerable when given in 37 mg capsules, so the trial will proceed to administer the agent in 45 mg capsules.

When a patient may not have the capability of understanding or consenting to treatment options, Louis P. Voigt, MD; and Yesne Alici, MD, will utilize decision-making capacity techniques.

According to John Henson, MD, “What we need are better treatments to control the [brain] tumor once it’s detected.”

According to John Henson, MD, patients with ovarian, breast, endometrial, and colon cancers benefit the most from proactive hereditary analyses.

Researchers have observed that HSC–derived innate lymphoid cells prevent GVHD by inducing interleukin 9 driven T-cell senescence.

Researchers have demonstrated that a tandem CAR T cell targeting mesothelin and MUC16 ectodomain is able to outmaneuver tumor heterogeneity, outperforming single target CAR T cells in mixed ovarian and pancreatic models.

Although both immune priming strategies numerically improved ORR and PFS vs olaparib monotherapy, the study was not powered for comparisons between arms.

No dose-limiting toxicities were observed among 12 patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC treated with quaratusugene ozeplasmid and osimertinib.

First-degree relatives of patients who passed away from pancreatic cancer should be genetically tested to identify their risk for the disease.

Daniel C. McFarland, DO, is joined by Louis P. Voigt, MD, and Yesne Alici, MD, who focused on decision-making capacity and patient-centered care.

Surgery and radiation chemotherapy can affect immunotherapy’s ability to target tumor cells in the nervous system, according to John Henson, MD.

Subgroup data from the ARASENS trial support darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy as a standard of care in metastatic HSPC regardless of age.
