Panelists discuss how patients have been receptive to the proactive management approach that effectively reduces dermatologic adverse effects, despite initial concerns about adding multiple prophylactic interventions.
Beta emitters such as lutetium Lu 177 rosopatamab may offer built-in PSMA imaging during the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Results from cohort 4 of the phase 2 SunRISe-1 trial showed TAR-200 elicited a 6- and 9-month DFS rate of 85.3% and 81.1%, respectively, in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC.
Ongoing ctDNA analysis may elucidate outcomes associated with divarasib plus migoprotafib for those with KRAS G12C–positive NSCLC.
Panelists discuss how evaluating zanubrutinib in combination with obinutuzumab involves considering patient comorbidities, disease characteristics, and previous treatments, with a focus on tolerability, adverse-effect profiles, and patient preferences to guide optimal treatment choices.
Panelists discuss how research on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing in colorectal cancer requires careful consideration of standardized collection protocols, analytical validation, clinical utility assessment, integration with existing biomarkers, and longitudinal monitoring to establish its role in personalized treatment decision-making.
Panelists discuss how the updated NCCN Guidelines now recommend tazemetostat for the treatment of advanced epithelioid sarcoma, regardless of EZH2 mutation status, based on clinical trial data showing significant clinical benefits and improved progression-free survival in patients with both mutated and non-mutated disease.
Panelists discuss how circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing serves as a complementary tool to traditional imaging in challenging colorectal cancer cases, offering molecular-level insights that can detect disease recurrence earlier, resolve ambiguous radiographic findings, and inform treatment decisions when conventional assessment methods yield inconclusive results.
Workplace burnout in medicine and oncology can lead to stress, exhaustion, fatigue, and a lack of interest in work, according to Eric P. Winer, MD.
Panelists discuss how neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, including chemotherapy and radiation, are used in localized epithelioid sarcoma (ES) to optimize surgical outcomes, reduce recurrence risk, and tailor treatment based on tumor characteristics and patient factors.
Panelists discuss how PSMA PET imaging is expected to evolve, enhancing precision in prostate cancer treatment through improved detection and staging. Medical professionals anticipate broader use in therapy guidance, with future advancements addressing gaps in early detection and metastasis, improving treatment strategies.
Panelists discuss how overcoming resistance mechanisms in EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a key unmet need, with future research focusing on targeting these mechanisms, exploring new drug combinations, and optimizing treatment sequences to improve patient outcomes.
Panelists discuss how the adverse effect profile of amivantamab plus lazertinib (ami-laz) compares with other combination therapies, emphasizing its balance between therapeutic efficacy and quality of life, and how this influences decision-making in treatment selection.
Panelists discuss how, Copper-64 (^64Cu)–labeled PSMA-targeted PET imaging is emerging as a promising modality in prostate cancer diagnosis. The phase 2 SOLAR study (NCT05653856) demonstrated that ^64Cu-PSMA I&T PET/CT effectively detects metastatic prostate cancer, meeting primary end points related to correct localization rates.
