Genomically-Guided Radiation Dosing Model Shows Promise in Various Cancer Types
Radiation oncologists Jacob Scott, MD, DPhil, and Javier Torres-Roca, MD, discuss the benefits of using GARD in a pooled pan-cancer analysis and why there is a call to action to integrate GARD-based radiotherapy dosing in oncology.
A Dynamic Treatment Landscape Emerges for Early-Stage TNBC
November 2nd 2021Standard chemotherapy has historically been the mainstay of treatment for patients with diagnoses of early-stage TNBC, but there remains an unmet need to identify novel therapies that improve outcomes and, equally important, to discern which patients may benefit from a given treatment.
Genomically Guided Radiation Dosing in Oncology: Ready for Prime Time?
September 30th 2021Dr. Scott and Dr. Torres-Roca discuss their research of a pooled retrospective analysis exploring genomic-adjusted radiation dose–based radiation therapy in solid tumors and what using genomics to guide radiation dosing decisions could mean for oncology practices.
Targeted Therapy Drives Improves Outcomes Throughout Lung Cancer Subtypes
September 24th 2021The availability of targeted agents for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer who harbor mutations in EGFR, RET, MET, and KRAS has not only led to improved outcomes, but provided greater flexibility for treatment-naïve and pretreated populations, with the possibility of enhanced intracranial activity.
Genomic-Adjusted Radiation Dose Is Associated With First Recurrence and Survival in Solid Tumors
September 3rd 2021Genomic-adjusted radiation dose demonstrated a significant association with time to first recurrence and overall survival in patients with certain solid tumors who had been treated with radiation therapy, indicating that genomics should be used to guide radiation dosing decisions.
Optimal Sequencing and Treatment Intensity Remain the Focus of Treatment in HER2+ Breast Cancer
August 3rd 2021G. Thomas Budd, MD, discussed the promise of tailored treatment approaches in HER2-positive breast cancer, the utility of the combination of fixed-dose trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and hyaluronidase-zzxf via subcutaneous administration, and how sequencing could be further affected by drug development.
CDK4/6 Inhibitors Show Hints of Activity in Early-Stage HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
July 12th 2021Halle Moore, MD, discusses the data that support the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy in HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, how to select between available CDK4/6 inhibitors in the metastatic setting, and the current state of this treatment approach for patients with early-stage disease.
