Strategic Active Surveillance Methods Drive Patient-Focused Prostate Cancer Care
November 3rd 2023Active surveillance can provide eligible patients with low-risk prostate cancer the opportunity to defer or avoid treatment and instead opt for routine monitoring of their disease; however, challenges arise when determining which patients should be eligible for this approach and how to maintain patient and provider protocol compliance.

November 3rd 2023Gautam Jayram, MD, discusses current standards of care in the bladder cancer treatment arena, novel therapies under investigation in clinical trials that may expand the arsenal of available treatment strategies, and emphasizes the importance of implementing bladder cancer programs.
Ongoing Research Aims to Enhance Radiotherapy Techniques in Prostate Cancer
Daniel Spratt, MD, discusses the expanded role of radiation therapy for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer, delves into the optimal approach for using radiation in tandem with hormonal therapy for these patients, and highlights ongoing research focused on minimizing adverse effects associated with radiotherapy.
Sacituzumab Govitecan Plus Enfortumab Vedotin Shows Early Promise in Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
October 31st 2023Combining sacituzumab govitecan-hziy and enfortumab vedotin-ejfv was safe, feasible, and produced high and early response rates in patients with treatment-resistant metastatic urothelial cancer.
Pooled findings from exploratory analyses of the phase 2 DESTINY-Lung01 and DESTINY-Lung02 trials showed that different doses of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki elicited similar intracranial responses in patients with HER2-mutated non–small cell lung cancer who had treated or untreated brain metastases at baseline.
Patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non–small cell lung cancer who experienced disease progression after treatment with osimertinib experienced a progression-free survival benefit with amivantamab plus chemotherapy with or without lazertinib compared with chemotherapy alone.
Dr McArthur on Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy in ER+/HER2– Breast Cancer
October 23rd 2023Heather Lynn McArthur, MD, MPH, discusses the primary results from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-756 study of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy in early-stage, high-risk, estrogen receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
Dato-DXd Significantly Improves PFS in Select Subsets of Advanced/Metastatic NSCLC
October 23rd 2023The Trop-2 directed antibody drug conjugate datopotamab deruxtecan demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival vs docetaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer, however those with squamous histology did not experience a benefit.
Frontline VR-CAP Is Effective and Well Tolerated in MZL
Bortezomib, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, prednisone, and cytarabine hydrochloride generated robust responses with a tolerable safety profile when delivered as first-line therapy in patients with marginal zone lymphoma.
Frontline Sobuzoxane Plus Etoposide and Rituximab is Safe and Effective in Older DLBCL Population
October 23rd 2023The combination of sobuzoxane and etoposide plus rituximab prolonged survival and showcased a tolerable safety profile in patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma aged 80 years and older.
Frontline Amivantamab Plus Lazertinib Bests Osimertinib in Advanced EGFR+ NSCLC
October 23rd 2023The combination of amivantamab and lazertinib reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 30% compared with osimertinib alone as frontline therapy for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer harboring classical EGFR sensitizing mutations.
mRNA-4157 Plus Pembrolizumab Bolsters RFS in Resected Melanoma
The addition of mRNA-4157 to pembrolizumab led to clinically significant improvements in relapse-free survival and distant metastasis–free survival vs pembrolizumab alone in patients with high-risk resected melanoma.
Lutetium Lu 177 Vipivotide Tetraxetan Boosts rPFS in Taxane-Naïve mCRPC After Prior AR Inhibitor
October 23rd 2023Treatment with lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetran improved radiographic progression-free survival compared with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were taxane naïve and experienced disease progression on a prior second-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitor.
Dato-DXd Provides PFS Benefit in HR+/HER2– Breast Cancer
October 23rd 2023Datopotamab deruxtecan elicited a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival vs chemotherapy for patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low or -negative, metastatic breast cancer.
