During a recent OncLive Peer Exchange®, a panel of experts in adult and pediatric leukemia provided insight on how they use minimal or measurable residual disease (MRD) to guide treatment decisions, including transplantation and choice of therapy in patients who demonstrate MRD positivity after induction and first- and subsequent-line therapies.

During a recent OncLive Peer Exchange®, a panel of hematologic cancer experts discussed several novel treatments that are changing the relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma treatment landscape, including Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, BTK combinations, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.

Although considerable progress has been made in treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma since the advent of chemoimmunotherapy, approximately 33% of patients still develop relapsed/refractory disease, which is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have yielded modest improvement in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but have already reshaped the management of this tumor type and helped open the door to the exploration of other, potentially more effective treatment approaches, according to a panel of thoracic oncology experts who discussed the treatment horizon for SCLC in a recent OncLive Peer Exchange® panel.

PARP inhibitors are poised to acquire a stronger foothold in the frontline setting for advanced ovarian cancer, for which chemotherapy remains the backbone of treatment, according to a panel of gynecologic oncology experts who discussed the issue during an OncLive Peer Exchange® held during the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2019.

During an OncLive Peer Exchange®, a panel of pancreatic cancer experts discuss how they select between first- and subsequent-line cytotoxic regimens and strategies they use to reduce toxicity, including dose modifications and alternative combinations. They also provide insights on some of the emerging therapies in clinical trials for advanced pancreatic cancer.

During a recent OncLive Peer Exchange®, a panel of breast cancer experts discussed how they are using CDK4/6 inhibitors in their practices. They shared their insights on the tolerability and toxicity profiles of the FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitors, how they choose which agents to use for each patient, and how they select the next line of therapy after the patient progresses.

During an OncologyLive Peer Exchange, the panelists discuss some of the challenges they face when conducting molecular testing, including determining which patients to test, when to test, and how to test to ensure that no golden tickets, such as NTRK gene fusions, are missed. They also discuss the data surrounding TRK inhibitors and their experiences using these agents.
