Sotorasib demonstrated an overall survival rate of 32.5% at 2 years in patients with KRAS G12C–mutant non–small cell lung cancer, according to longer follow-up data from the phase 1/2 CodeBreaK 100 trial.

Among patients with ductal carcinoma in situ, a significant portion of recurrences were not genetically related to the primary tumor.

The innate cell engager AMF13 combined with preactivated and expanded natural killer (NK) cells induced “very encouraging activity” in patients with heavily pretreated lymphoma.

First-line pembrolizumab monotherapy continued to elicit an overall survival benefit and durable tumor response vs standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy in Chinese patients with untreated PD-L1–positive, advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer without sensitizing EGFR or ALK mutations.

Temferon, genetically modified Tie2-expressing monocytes targeting interferona2, showed the potential to activate the immune system and reprogram the tumor microenvironment in patients with glioblastoma.

Selecting the optimal frontline treatment regimen for patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer requires careful consideration of multiple patient and treatment characteristics.

The expansion of the treatment armamentarium has emphasized the importance of genetic testing in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, according to Christopher Lieu, MD, who added continued developments in the field have produced additional treatment regimens across patient subsets.

Distinctions in histology, molecular profiles, and tumor location have set diverging course of care for the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal cancers.

When maintenance niraparib was administered at an individualized starting dose, it resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival vs placebo in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer, irrespective of biomarker status.

Maintenance selinexor monotherapy was found to improve progression-free survival over placebo in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.

The use of intraperitoneal carboplatin with paclitaxel improved progression-free survival, but not overall survival, vs intravenous chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Mirvetuximab soravtansine was found to produce clinically meaningful antitumor activity with acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and high folate receptor–alpha (FRα) expression.

The combination of nemvaleukin alpha and pembrolizumab led to encouraging clinical activity in patients with pretreated ovarian cancer who are resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Atezolizumab given as an immune primer or concurrently with extended field chemoradiation demonstrated favorable progression-free survival and few dose-limiting toxicities, with evidence of T-cell clonal expansion in the tumors and peripheral blood of patients with locally advanced, node-positive cervical cancer.

Neoadjuvant niraparib induced strong results for patients with BRCA-mutant, homologous repair deficient–positive advanced resectable ovarian cancer.

Niraparib in combination with bevacizumab was efficacious following 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy among patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, regardless of biomarker status.

Intravenous chemotherapy plus bevacizumab did not demonstrate differences in progression-free and overall survival compared with intraperitoneal chemotherapy plus bevacizumab in patients with advanced ovarian cancer with no macroscopic disease.

Single-agent olaparib generated similar overall survival compared with non-platinum chemotherapy in heavily pretreated patients with platinum-sensitive, relapsed ovarian cancer with BRCA mutations, according to the final analysis of the phase 3 SOLO3 trial.

Patient-reported outcome data support a favorable benefit/risk profile for the combination of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, in patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer.

Patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who received PARP inhibitor maintenance treatment in the second-line setting experienced a longer time to next treatment and overall survival compared with those who were just under active surveillance.

The applications for germline and somatic genetic testing in prostate cancer have skyrocketed, carving out an important role in screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

Primo Nery Lara Jr, MD, provides an overview of the treatment landscape for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
