The debate between the phase III CALGB/SWOG 80405 and FIRE-3 studies has been settled, as findings of a retrospective analysis of 80405 show that tumor location is significant in determining survival outcomes for patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.















Michael J. Overman, MD, associate professor, Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses how the results of the phase III FIRE-3 and 80405 studies will impact treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

An integrated boost with conventional fractionation to the tumor-arterial interface is unlikely to lead to downstaging in borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Volker Heinemann, MD, PhD, director of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, discusses how depth of response, which is highly correlated with overall survival, was improved for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who added selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) to chemotherapy.

Bruno Daniele, MD, director, Department of Oncology and Medical Oncology, G. Rummo Hospital, Italy, discusses the potential impact of regorafenib (Stivarga) for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

The addition of cetuximab to standard FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer significantly improved survival outcomes.

MABp1, a novel anti–interleukin 1-alpha antibody, was safe, well-tolerated, and demonstrated a significant impact on symptoms compared with placebo for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

The first prospective study to investigate the use of immunotherapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal demonstrated promising results following treatment with nivolumab.

Treatment with ARQ-087 demonstrated promising signs of clinical activity with a manageable safety profile for patients with FGFR2 fusion-positive advanced and/or metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Adding selective internal radiation therapy with SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres to standard first-line chemotherapy significantly increased hepatic depth of response in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
