MammaPrint did not predict distant recurrence, but it did predict patients who may benefit from extended hormonal therapy. We do have breast index, so now we have options. Breast index can predict the possibility of recurrence though by helping to determine the level of risk.
Small testing size, but still with high overall response rate (32%) with progression-free survival of 5.6 months. Now, this is not randomized and is after failure of check point inhibitors. Of note this medication will not be marketed for second line therapy since it did not show overall survival advantage.
Improved outcome in patients with brain metastases, but only uses a small number. It is still promising.
Adding SBRT improves local control and disease progression in the brain but not overall survival. Do the radiation oncologists have input? Is it worth it to control symptoms?
Superior to osi (23 vs 16 progression-free survival). This is more toxic though, but seems manageable. Could this be a new first line standard of care? Also, this includes brain penetration data.
Less radiation is non-inferior, this is for low and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer patients. Would like input from our radiation oncologists as to whether or not this adoptable?
This is not only safer (less toxicity with nivo) but reduced disease progression or death by 52%.
Impressive improvement in overall survival when comparing 55 vs 33 months and progression-free survival (almost double) due to tolerable toxicity. Now in NCCN guidelines…
Many had neoadjuvant therapy, still no difference between standard or extended lymphadenectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. So, it seems more is not better.
Adding Inavolisib to CKD4/6 inhibitor and AI improved progression-free survival (almost doubled 15 vs 7m) but toxicity was higher still in the single digits (hyperglycemia, diarrhea, stomatitis… all less than 6% G3/4).
FCS Hematology Oncology Review creates a platform for our physician network to observe the most recent articles and studies available in the oncology and hematology world. By sharing these articles we are building our wealth of knowledge of new observations and treatments as they come available.
