Atish D. Choudhury, MD, PhD, discussed the significance of these trials within the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treatment landscape, highlighted investigative PARP inhibitor combinations, and emphasized the need for further research in this area to determine which patients are most likely to benefit from certain therapies based on their molecular profiles.

A three-drug combination that sent chronic lymphocytic leukemia into deep remissions in a broad group of patients in a clinical trial is highly effective in patients with high-risk forms of the disease, a new, phase 2 clinical trial led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators indicates.

In a new study, scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute identify, for the first time, inherited genetic variations that place patients at high risk for these complications.

Jose Pablo Leone, MD, discusses the distinguishing features of male breast cancer, explains the benefits and limitations of current treatments, and emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about this breast cancer subset to propel further research.

Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH, discussed the evolving role of androgen deprivation therapy in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, investigational immunotherapy combinations in urothelial cancer, and how antibody-drug conjugates provide a unique means of delivering toxic agents directly to tumors.

A CAR-T-cell therapy known as axicabtagene ciloleucel is safe and shows encouraging signs of efficacy in a small pilot trial involving patients with lymphoma of the brain and/or spinal cord.

As patients with cancer increasingly receive treatment in community hospitals and clinics and many such centers experience a shortage of oncologists, a group of physicians at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and Harvard Medical School has proposed the first-ever training blueprint for oncologists planning careers in a community or academic-community setting.

In a new study, scientists reveal for the first time the genomic differences between chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Richter's, the molecular pathways by which Richter's emerges, and the existence of multiple subtypes of the disease.
