The Epione robot may help less experienced surgeons carry out complex cases with a high level of accuracy, says Govindarajan Narayanan, MD.

Joselle Cook, M.B.B.S., explains that she believes that elderly patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma can still use bispecific therapies, though more objective data on frailty is needed.

Drs Costa, Dhakal, and Cook discuss managing the unique toxicities of bispecific antibodies in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma such as infections requiring prophylaxis and supportive care, and quality-of-life complaints like taste changes and skin issues.

Domenica Lorusso, MD, PhD, says that paying attention to the quality of chemoradiotherapy is imperative to feeling confident about the potential addition of pembrolizumab for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Exercise and healthy lifestyles can lower the risk of cancer or the symptoms of cancer treatment despite having genetic dispositions, said Neil M. Iyengar, MD.

Cell therapy and vaccine approaches are among the several potential options for targeting KRAS in patients with KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer, says Sandip P. Patel, MD.

In the Phase 2 MOUNTAINEER-01 study of patients with HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer who were chemo-refractory, the combination of tucatinib and trastuzumab showed an impressive response rate and disease control rate, and median duration of response up to 12 months; Dr. Ahn notes these results compare favorably to prior studies of dual HER2 inhibition, with MOUNTAINEER-01 showing higher response rates.

Patients with mismatch repair proficient, newly diagnosed, advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer may have enhanced benefit with the addition of olaparib to durvalumab.

Paolo Tarantino, MD, gives an overview on how the recently approved combination of capivasertib plus fulvestrant can help improve treatment strategies for patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer

Ricardo Parrondo, MD, explains that different BTK inhibitors have varying rates of cardiovascular side effects in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, suggesting the choice between them should consider a patient's preexisting cardiovascular conditions, with acalabrutinib favored for hypertension concerns and zanubrutinib for atrial fibrillation issues.
