The coronavirus disease 2019 crisis has changed all aspects of medical education but perhaps altered clinical education most dramatically.
John Crown, MB, BCh, BAO, BSc, MD, MBA, discusses the rationale for evaluating lapatinib (Tykerb) with standard trastuzumab/chemotherapy regimen in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, as well as contextualizes results from a phase 2 trial.

In 5 years, it is estimated that approximately 20% of patients with stage II disease and 35% with stage III disease will experience disease recurrence. These estimates highlight the need to pursue progress in adjuvant systemic therapy in order to decrease recurrence rates and improve survival.
A summary of sequencing therapy in the HER2+ metastatic breast cancer treatment paradigm followed by excitement for novel therapies under investigation.

The biomarker testing landscape has evolved over the years, affecting how oncologists approach lung cancer.
Jason R. Westin, MD, MS, FACP, presents the overall survival analysis from ZUMA-7, a phase 3 study investigating axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) versus standard-of-care therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL).
Patrick Piliè, MD, discusses the benefit of second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Abdul Rafeh Naqash, MD, and Alice Chen, MD, discuss their phase 2 trial evaluating the efficacy of atezolizumab in patients with advanced alveolar soft part sarcoma.
Although the first FDA approval for CAR T-cell therapy in multiple myeloma was 2 years ago, unfortunately, the treatment remains out of reach for too many patients.
Abdulrahman Sinno, MD, discusses the shift in focus to molecular characteristics of endometrial cancer.
Marjorie G. Zauderer, MD, discusses the importance of optimizing care for patients with mesothelioma.
