Ruth O’Regan, MD, discusses the utility of CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer.

CDK4/6 inhibitors alone and/or in combination with HER2-directed therapies have been shown to elicit encouraging response rates and inhibit the growth of the cancer cells in HER2-positive breast cancer.

Ruth O’Regan, MD, shares her perspective on the use of biosimilars in breast cancer and their future in oncology.

Ruth O’Regan, MD, and Adam M. Brufsky, MD, PhD, FACP, both discuss the emergence of trastuzumab biosimilars in breast cancer.

We traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for a State of the Science Summit™ on Breast Cancer, which featured insights from key thought leaders at Carbone Cancer Center of the University of Wisconsin.

Conflicting guidelines on prostate-specific antigen testing have affected trends on disease presentation and, potentially, the treatment outcomes for many men with this disease. New agents and powerful new imaging tools have added yet more complexity to the decision process. Therefore, more investigation and cooperation on multiple levels is needed to define appropriate standards of care.

Kari B. Wisinski, MD, highlights modern day approaches for treating patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

Although the therapeutic utility of lymphadenectomy is uncertain, it continues to provide information for staging and helps to guide postoperative adjuvant treatment for patients with endometrial cancer.

UW Carbone Cancer Center will begin treating adults with a “living drug” that employs their own immune cells to fight a common type of aggressive blood cancer.

Increasing evidence suggests that immune responses against SCLC cells make immunotherapy a rational approach.

Natalie S. Callander, MD, professor of medicine at the Division of Hematology/Oncology, University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, discusses combinations in multiple myeloma.

According to a new study by UW Carbone Cancer Center researchers, a broadly applicable cancer therapy currently being developed by Cellectar Biosciences may have the potential to work in pediatric solid tumors.

PARP inhibitors are the most commonly used targeted therapy for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, and the indications for the use of these drugs have broadened in recent months.
