Dr Dy discusses the development of CEACAM5-directed antibody-drug conjugates in non–small cell lung cancer, ongoing research with tusamitamab ravtansine, and the potential role of competing docetaxel-based combination strategies in the second-line setting.
Dr Giacchetti discusses the findings from a study of patient-selected timing of the daily oral intake of adjuvant hormone therapy and everolimus in breast cancer and how this study highlights the need for further research combining the fields of chronobiology and oncology.
Dr Hilal discusses data with frontline ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib in chronic lymphocytic leukemia; remaining uncertainties regarding the use of BTK inhibitors to manage this disease; and how a patient’s minimal residual disease status influences their subsequent treatment options.
Dr Oppong discusses findings showing that Black and Hispanic women are more likely than their White counterparts to refuse surgery for nonmetastatic breast cancer, the reasons some patients refuse to undergo surgery, and potential strategies to overcome those objections.
Dr Somaiah discusses the excitement surrounding novel agents such as CSF1R inhibitors and ULK1/2 inhibitors, and the utility of broad spectrum TKIs such as ripretinib.
Dr Rugo discusses overall survival in the TROPiCS-02 trial, post-progression treatments after ribociclib and endocrine therapy in the MONALEESA-2, MONALEESA-3, and MONALEESA-7 studies, and what the AMALEE trial indicates about optimal doses of ribociclib in hormone receptor–positive breast cancer.
Dr Blum discusses renal medullary carcinoma, the lack of approved systemic therapy for these patients, and findings showing a correlation between CA-125 levels and increased tumor burden and treatment response in this disease.
Dr Leone discusses the distinguishing features of male breast cancer, the benefits and limitations of current treatments, and the importance of raising awareness about this breast cancer subset to propel further research.
Dr Florez discusses why cancer care equity and survivorship should be a priority for all physicians, the steps the health care system needs to take to address disparities in these areas, and specific ways that Dana-Farber is working to close these gaps.
Drs Sauter and Hill discuss the use of CAR T-cell therapy in patients with lymphomas, the potential for allogeneic CAR T cells, and ways to expand access and address financial toxicity.
Drs Mikhael and Cole discuss ways to help reduce disparities in myeloma by delivering culturally relevant care and highlight the importance of implementing shared decision-making, creating a well-informed multidisciplinary staff, and meeting patients where they are.
Drs Ramkumar and Morganstein discuss the challenges they face with integrating and organizing molecular testing results into electronic medical records, how they address non–small cell lung cancer test results with patients, and their hopes for the future of pathology at their institutions.
Dr Brentjens discussed targeting the “enigmatic” GPRC5D protein, safety results with MCARH109, and the appropriate sequencing for the agent.
Dr Velcheti discusses planned research into whether mobile technology services can improve patient outcomes for underserved and underrepresented patient populations.
Dr Patel discusses post-transplant complications in myeloid disorders, the prevalence of these complications, and the most common ones that may arise, including primary disease relapse, graft-vs-host disease, infection, organ toxicity, persistent cytopenias, and immunosuppression.
Dr Leal discusses the symptoms commonly associated with Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, the prevalence of this disorder in concurrence with underlying cancers, and how amifampridine can help manage this disease by improving motor and autonomic symptoms.
