Panelists discuss how prophylactic use of tocilizumab in the MajesTEC-1 trial may reduce the incidence and severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients receiving bispecific antibody therapy for multiple myeloma, potentially improving treatment safety and tolerability.
The Together for Supportive Cancer Care coalition may advance the national conversation in ensuring comprehensive care for all patients with cancer.
Panelists discuss how the follow-up results from the RedirecTT-1 study provide insights into the long-term efficacy and safety of bispecific antibody combinations in treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, potentially shaping future treatment approaches for this challenging disease.
Health care organizations have come together to form the Together for Supportive Cancer Care coalition to address gaps in supportive cancer care services.
Panelists discuss how results from the GALAXY study reveal that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) status is a powerful predictor of outcomes and treatment benefit in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), potentially revolutionizing personalized treatment approaches.
Panelists discuss how the GALAXY study data demonstrate the effectiveness of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)–based minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in patients with resected colorectal cancer (CRC), potentially improving postsurgical care and outcomes.
Panelists discuss how patient-specific factors like age, comorbidities, cytogenetic risk status, and personal preferences guide decisions to deviate from standard protocols, with particular attention to frailty scores and organ function when considering treatment intensity.
Panelists discuss how the updated WHO classification system for gliomas has impacted their treatment approaches, while also addressing the practical difficulties of integrating these changes into routine clinical care.
Panelists discuss how a patient navigated her recurrent breast cancer diagnosis, detailing the symptoms, referral process, diagnostic tests, treatment considerations, and the concerns faced throughout the journey, while also examining the steps taken to confirm her HER2+ diagnosis.
Panelists provide a brief overview of breast cancer, discussing typical presentations of advanced breast cancer; key risk factors such as age, gender, and family history; various subtypes of the disease; and the essential steps in diagnosing, risk assessing, and staging patients.
Panelists discuss how the CARTITUDE-4 trial results show cilta-cel's superior efficacy over standard of care therapies in treating relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, potentially reshaping treatment paradigms for this patient population.
Panelists discuss how the KarMMa-3 trial results demonstrate superior efficacy of ide-cel compared to standard of care therapies in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, potentially establishing a new benchmark for treatment in this setting.
Further optimizing a PROTAC that targets MDM2 may lead to human clinical trials among patients with cancer harboring p53 mutations.
As patients are nearing the end of life, different management strategies, such as opioids, may be needed to help mitigate pain or fatigue.
Kelley A. Rone, DNP, RN, AGNP-c, highlights the importance of having end-of-life discussions early in a patient’s cancer treatment course.
Patients treated with BCMA-directed immunotherapies for myeloma may experience susceptibility to severe infections following treatment.
Panelists discuss how referral types for multiple myeloma patients vary widely, including newly diagnosed cases, relapsed/refractory disease, and specific therapy considerations like bispecifics, with processes differing between in-state and out-of-state referrals due to logistical and insurance factors.
