The clinical researcher spoke about the research that she is most excited to review at ASH this year.

Research from a pilot trial presented at the 2020 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting found above average complete response and disease-free survival rates for patients with DLBCL.

The study assessed the impact of a rurally focused telemedicine program on patient outcomes in the urologic oncology outpatient clinic at the University of Washington Medical Center.

The preliminary findings of the extension arm of the phase 2 GO29365 study confirmed the benefits and tolerability of polatuzumab vedotin (Polivy) plus bendamustine (Bendeka) and rituximab (Rituxan) for patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

An integrated analysis of 2 phase 3 studies with up to 6.5 years of follow-up reported the outcomes of first-line ibrutinib (Imbruvica) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma and high-risk genomic features.

This pooled analysis from 4 clinical trials suggested that though patients with TP53 aberrations remain at risk for progression, first-line treatment with ibrutinib has meaningfully improved the poor prognosis in this high-risk population.

The myeloma expert discussed the randomized, open label study measuring the safety and efficacy of daratumumab (Darzalex) plus RVd for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

The study sought to determine the impact of a rurally focused telemedicine program on patient outcomes.

The lymphoma expert spoke about the research being presented at the 2020 ASH Annual Meeting and what he believes has the potential to be most influential for treating this patient population.

Given that smoking is one of the major risk factors for recurrence of any cancer, Tsao explained that it's crucial that providers focus on smoking cessation in patients with cancer.

Given that diagnosing lung cancer in its early stages can lead to successfully eliminating lung cancer with surgery alone, the importance of closing this disparity gap is critical.

The SU2C–LUNGevity Foundation–American Lung Association Lung Cancer Interception Dream Team have developed laboratory models to understand the inflammatory process in the lung’s bronchial cells, and how that relates to early lung cancer development.

Ahlstrom explained the necessity of offering patients with cancer telehealth opportunities and what patients with cancer will lose should telehealth waivers expire.

Jeffrey Weber, MD, PhD, discusses the unmet needs professionals take into consideration when deciding treatment options for patients with melanoma.

Research published by Galvin, et al. in the journal ONCOLOGY® demonstrated the necessity to understand why eligible patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma elect not to participate in early-phase clinical trials.

Data from the COMBI-AD Trial evaluating dabrafenib and trametinib to treat melanoma was analyzed by Hussein Tawbi, MD, PhD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

CancerNetwork spoke with Jason Luke, MD, FACP, at the SMR Conference regarding the latest updates on melanoma.

The Cancer Experience Registry was developed by the Cancer Support Community in order to collect information about the emotional and social effects of living with a cancer diagnosis.

Jeffrey Schneider, MD, and Marc Braunstein, MD, PhD, spoke about their recent article published in the journal ONCOLOGY® regarding the management of patients with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
