Panelists discuss how the KEYNOTE-B61 study population truly represents real-world clinical practice, with papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) being the most common subtype followed by chromophobe, unclassified, and translocation RCC as the top 4 subtypes typically encountered in clinic, while rarer variants comprise only 2% to 3% of non–clear cell cases.

Sally Werner, RN, BSN, MSHA, highlights the importance of using education, navigation programs, and caregiver support to help during CAR T-Cell Therapy treatment.

Panelists discuss the complex management of papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after first-line progression, focusing on balancing effective second-line therapies like lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab with quality of life, the role of multidisciplinary care and surgery, the importance of close monitoring, and the critical need for clinical trial enrollment and genomic profiling to guide personalized treatment.

Panelists discuss how the KEYNOTE-B61 phase 2 single-arm study represents the largest prospective trial evaluating pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib as first-line treatment for advanced non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), enrolling 158 patients across all major histological subtypes with an impressive median follow-up of 41.6 months and updated 3-year survival data.

The safety profile of teclistamab-based therapy in the MajesTEC-5 trial was expected based on the known compounds employed in each combination.

It may be critical to sequence BCL-2 inhibitors with BTK inhibitors for patients with mantle cell lymphoma in the relapsed/refractory setting.

Gary Steinberg, MD, discusses the clinical significance of the new FDA-approved gemcitabine intravesical system for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC.

Panelists discuss first-line treatment strategies for metastatic non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma, highlighting the shift from broad, subtype-agnostic approaches to histology-specific and biomarker-driven therapies, including evolving combinations of TKIs and immunotherapy tailored to tumor biology.

Panelists discuss first-line therapy for non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma, emphasizing its diverse histologies, the challenges posed by limited clinical trial data, and the importance of molecular diagnostics and multidisciplinary strategies to guide personalized treatment.

Attitudes toward the use of AI in health care were split 50/50, according to a recent survey conducted by the Cancer Support Community.

Reducing the manufacturing time of CAR T-cell therapy may have a big impact on the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Sally Werner, RN, BSN, MSHA, discusses the crucial role of psychosocial oncology in cancer care, including how clinicians and administrators can advocate for these vital services.

Experts discuss how positive ctDNA results after chemotherapy can guide timely, metastasis-directed interventions in colorectal cancer, highlighting the shift from reliance on CEA to more sensitive molecular testing—and emphasizing the need for high-quality imaging to capitalize on ctDNA’s potential for enabling curative surgical outcomes.

Panelists discuss how dermatologic adverse events with EGFR inhibitors are more severe than previously seen with third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors, requiring reactive management strategies including topical steroids, antibiotics, and dermatologic consultations that are often difficult to obtain.

Experts discuss how durable ctDNA negativity following colorectal cancer surgery is associated with exceptionally low recurrence risk—particularly beyond 2 years—supporting more relaxed surveillance strategies, improved quality of life, and evidence-based reassurance for patients entering long-term survivorship.

Panelists discuss how patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer develop dermatologic adverse events with amivantamab treatment, presenting as papules, pustules, and paronychia that significantly impact quality of life.

Ongoing studies in kidney cancer aim to explore determinants of immune-related adverse effects and strategies for mitigating them.

Machine learning–based approaches may play a role in further understanding of how somatic alterations influence responses or resistance to therapy.

Several ongoing trials are evaluating the efficacy of ziftomenib treatment combinations in this acute myeloid leukemia population.

Panelists discuss how treatment selection for a typical intermediate-risk patient with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) involves choosing between ipilimumab plus nivolumab for long-term durable responses in nonsymptomatic patients and immunotherapy-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (IO-TKI) combinations for those requiring rapid disease control or cytoreduction.

Panelists discuss how the CLEAR trial showed pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib achieved the highest objective response rate (71%) and progression-free survival (23.3 months) among frontline regimens, though requiring careful patient selection due to lenvatinib's challenging toxicity profile at the full 20 mg dose.

Data from a first-in-disease trial assessing a personalized cancer vaccine in RCC require validation at a larger level, according to David Braun, MD, PhD.

Single-agent ziftomenib achieved an ORR of 35% in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia harboring an NPM1 mutation.

New targeted therapies are needed to improve outcomes for patients with NPM1-mutant relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

All 4 FDA-approved JAK inhibitors for myelofibrosis have unique toxicity profiles that all patients and physicians should know, said Prithviraj Bose, MD.

Panelists discuss how non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents a challenging, heterogeneous collection of rare tumors comprising 25% to 30% of all RCC cases, requiring careful histological review and individualized risk stratification based on tumor biology, disease tempo, and burden rather than traditional treatment algorithms used for clear cell RCC.

Panelists discuss how they will review the KEYNOTE-B61 phase 2 study examining pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib for previously untreated advanced non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), including an overview of non–clear cell RCC and integration of the 3-year follow-up data into clinical practice.

Panelists discuss the challenges of treating non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) after first-line progression, emphasizing the limited second-line options, the emerging use of immunotherapy (IO) and combination regimens, the need for subtype-specific strategies, and the critical role of clinical trial enrollment to advance care in this heterogeneous disease.

Non-driver mutations can be informative for clinicians in the treatment of patients with myelofibrosis, as they may help guide transplantation decisions.

Panelists discuss recent advances in non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) treatment, highlighting the emerging role of immunotherapy plus tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combinations—particularly lenvatinib and pembrolizumab—in improving response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival across diverse subtypes, while emphasizing individualized care and proactive management.
