Understanding PD-L1 CPS: Impact on Treatment Decisions in HER2+ Gastric Cancer
Experts discuss the PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) and its influence on treatment decisions as well as the clinical significance of a high CPS in guiding the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab in HER2-positive gastric cancer.
Megan’s Journey With HER2+ Upper GI Cancer
Experts discuss Megan’s journey with HER2-positive upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, highlighting key treatment strategies and challenges.
Evolving Treatment Strategies in Early HER2+ Breast Cancer
Published: March 20th 2025 | Updated: March 20th 2025Experts discuss how, nearly half of patients diagnoses with HER-2 positive metastatic brain cancer do develop brain metastasis. It is thought that larger molecule treatments such as the monoclonal antibodies likely do not cross an intact blood brain barrier which is often why patients develop brain metastases
Final Insights in Care for Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

March 17th 2025Panelists discuss how recent data from the KEYNOTE-564 trial has changed their approaches to treating patients with renal cell carcinoma by implementing adjuvant pembrolizumab therapy for high-risk patients following nephrectomy, citing improved disease-free survival outcomes.
Rethinking CAR T Timing: Insights on CAR T Efficacy and Patient Selection
Panelists discuss key factors in chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) sequencing for relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, including manufacturing success rates, production turnaround time, and real-world efficacy data. Treatment decisions weigh bridging therapy needs, patient fitness, and center-specific experience with different CAR T products and their reliability.
CAR T in the Real World: Clinician Perspectives on Outcomes, Toxicity, and Patient Management
Panelists discuss the comparison between clinical trial results and real-world outcomes for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapies like liso-cel and axi-cel. Clinical trials have shown promising efficacy and manageable safety profiles for both therapies in treating certain blood cancers. However, real-world evidence continues to emerge through ongoing clinical use and registry data collection.
Clinical Features and Risk Factors: Navigating ASCT vs CAR T Therapy Decisions in R/R LBCL
March 14th 2025Experts discuss clinical features and risk factors in navigating the decision between autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL).
