Kristen K. Ciombor, MD, MSCI, an assistant professor in the Division of Hematology/Oncology in the Department of Medicine at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, recently spoke at an Around the Practice discussion regarding updates in the world of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). In this episode of the ONCOLOGY® On the Go Podcast, she discusses treatment updates, molecular testing options, and emerging targets in CRC. Ciombor also highlighted ongoing research in the space, including the phase 3 BREAKWATER (NCT04607421)1 trial and the phase 3 MOUNTAINEER-03 (NCT05253651)2 trial. She also discussed some of the most important presentations from the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, including those covering the phase 2 MOUNTAINEER study (NCT03043313)3 and the phase 3 KEYNOTE-811 trial (NCT03615326).4 Additionally, she spoke about her work in the phase 2 ECOG-ACRIN trial (NCT04751370) assessing neoadjuvant nivolumab (Opdivo) plus ipilimumab (Yervoy) in patients with microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair deficient rectal cancer.5 “I'm hoping that we see more treatment options for patients [and that] we identify more patient subtypes that we can target and find actionable alterations for,” Ciombor said.

Sind die Inzidenzen von Krebserkrankungen bei Kinder während der Pandemie gestiegen oder wurden Kinder später diagnostiziert? Erste Befürchtungen haben sich zum Glück nicht bestätigt, kann Prof. Thomas Lehrnbecher, Leiter des Schwerpunktes Onkologie, Hämatologie und Hämostaseologie der Klinik für Kinder- und Jugendmedizin in Frankfurt, entwarnen. Möglich aber, dass hier noch nicht das letzte Wort gesprochen ist. Der Grundsatz „First, do no harm“ ließ die Behandler von krebskranken Kindern die Therapie zum Teil aussetzen, wenn sie COVID-positiv waren.

De novo metastatic breast cancer represents 6% of all new breast cancer diagnoses. This figure has not changed at all over the past 20 years; however, systemic therapy options have evolved dramatically during this time and have significantly increased life expectancy for these patients. While surgical management of the primary tumor in the setting of metastatic disease has typically been reserved for palliative indications, surgeons are now being asked to consider resecting the primary tumor to potentially increase overall survival. In this episode, we will use a case study to examine the data that should inform our conversations and decisions when we encounter patients with metastatic breast cancer who are interested in having their primary tumor resected.

MedLink Neurology Podcast is delighted to feature selected episodes from BrainWaves, courtesy of James E Siegler MD, its originator and host. BrainWaves is an academic audio podcast whose mission is to educate medical providers through clinical cases and topical reviews in neurology, medicine, and the humanities, and episodes originally aired from 2016 to 2021. Originally released: February 20, 2020 Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer treatment. Unlike chemotherapy, which essentially includes cellular toxins that can cause widespread and unnecessary tissue damage, checkpoint inhibitors are used to train the body's natural immune system to fight off cancer. And while they are extraordinarily effective options for patients with malignant disease, they are not without risk. Every day, we are learning more and more about the autoimmune side effects of these novel therapies. This week on the BrainWaves Podcast, Dr. Justine Cohen (University of Pennsylvania) shares her experience managing patients with checkpoint inhibitor neurotoxicity. Produced by James E Siegler and Justine Cohen. Music courtesy of Jon Watts, Kai Engel, and Kevin McLeod--as well as a cameo appearance by the Checkpoints. Unless otherwise mentioned in the podcast, no competing financial interests exist in the content of this episode. Sound effects by Mike Koenig and Daniel Simion.

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer and so it is fitting that we start the first of our disease-specific oncology series with this diagnosis. An important component of treatment in lung cancer (and many other cancers) is the use of radiation. This week, we continue our discussion about the fundamentals of Radiation Oncology with our guest, Dr. Evan Osmundson. *We hear the terms “hypo-fractioned” and “hyper-fractionated” radiation. What do those mean?- Fractionation, that is breaking up the total dose of radiation into smaller ones, has allowed patients to tolerate the radiation better. The repeat exposure allows the healthy tissue to repair, whereas the tumor is not able to heal as well- Standard fractionation involves keeping the maximum dose per session at 1.8-2Gy/fraction. - Hyper-fractionation is when a patient gets multiple doses per day, each less than 2Gy. This is important in small cell lung cancer, where the standard dose of radiation is 1.5Gy twice daily- Hypo-fractionation os when larger doses are given in each session, typically larger than 2.5-3Gy, often 4-5Gy per fraction. This is analogous to SBRT. *With regards to SBRT, how do you determine the number of sessions? - Typically 3-5 sessions, and this is based on data run through their computer algorithm that allows the dose to be tumoricidal. - More sessions (more likely 5 sessions) if central tumor (

Description: Metachronous colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is a complex clinical situation requiring multidisciplinary management. In this episode from the Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary team at Behind the Knife, we discuss a patient presenting with metachronous CRLM and how management may change with varying clinical scenarios. Learning Objectives: In this episode, we review the initial workup and pre-operative considerations in a patient presenting with metachronous CRLM. We discuss key aspects of resectability of CRLM, including physiologic and hepatic fitness, biology of the disease, and technical considerations. We review the timing and common regimens of systemic treatment for differing clinical scenarios, as well as when adjuncts to treatment may be useful (e.g., portal venous embolization). Finally, we highlight important aspects of intraoperative and postoperative management.

Today I am talking to Dr Nick Burr, one of our Rising Stars in Gastroenterology, working in Leeds. You may recognise his name from some of the most influential papers written on the topic of ADR and PCCRC in the recent past.

Em mais uma semana da nossa imersão em sarcomas, vamos discutir esse paper publicado na Lancet Oncol em 2017. Um estudo fase III randomizado, que avaliou o uso perioperatório de QT para o tratamento de SPM de alto grau, localizados em extremidades e tronco. A hipótese era a de que o uso de uma quimioterapia mais específica para o tratamento de certos subtipos histológicos de sarcomas acarretaria em uma maior sobrevida quando comparada com a terapia "padrão" com doxorrubicina e ifosfamida. Com um resultado surpreendente, o estudo foi fechado precocemente e teve seus resultados publicados a partir de uma análise interina de futilidade. Já pode imaginar o que aconteceu certo!?

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer treatment. Unlike chemotherapy, which essentially includes cellular toxins that can cause widespread and unnecessary tissue damage, checkpoint inhibitors are used to train the body’s natural immune system to fight off the cancer. And while they are extraordinarily effective options for patients with malignant disease, they are not without risk. Every day, we are learning more and more about the autoimmune side effects of these novel therapies. This week on the BrainWaves Podcast, Dr. Justine Cohen (University of Pennsylvania) shares her experience managing patients with checkpoint inhibitor neurotoxicity. Produced by James E. Siegler and Justine Cohen. Music courtesy of Jon Watts, Kai Engel, and Kevin McLeod--as well as a cameo appearance by the Checkpoints.

Publicado na LANCET Oncol em 2018, o PORTEC-3 Trial avaliou o papel da QT (radiossensibilizante e adjuvante) para o tratamento de pacientes com tumor de endométrio de alto risco. O estudo teve como objetivo primário dois endpoints que seriam: Sobrevida global e Livre de falha (óbito por doença ou recorrência). Após os autores randomizarem mais de 650 mulheres, com um seguimento de 60.2 meses, o estudo foi considerado negativo para o benefício dessa estratégia mais “agressiva” vs. radioterapia no que se referiu, principalmente, a sobrevida global. Em especial, no final do episódio Ranyell e Tiago discutem o papel do médico na decisão compartilhada com os pacientes, além da necessidade de publicação de estudos negativos.

William J. Gradishar, MD, of Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, chats with David H. Henry, MD, host of Blood & Cancer, to review some of the top breast cancer research presented at the 2019 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Plus, in Clinical Correlation, Ilana Yurkiewicz, MD, of Stanford (Calif.) University, talks about dealing with help-seeking and help-rejecting patients. Show notes This episode discusses three randomized, controlled phase 3 trials that were presented at ASCO 2019: KRISTINE trial (abstract 500) Design: Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer were randomized to receive either neoadjuvant trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and chemotherapy (docetaxel, carboplatin) vs. trastuzumab emtansine plus pertuzumab. Primary endpoint: Pathological complete response rate. Secondary endpoints: Toxicity, event-free survival, invasive disease-free survival. Conclusion: Docetaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab plus pertuzumab resulted in a higher rate of pathological complete response than did trastuzumab emtansine plus pertuzumab, but was associated with more serious adverse events. PREDIX trial (abstract 501) Design: Patients with HER2 positive and hormone receptor positive breast cancer were randomized to receive either neoadjuvant trastuzumab emtansine monotherapy vs. docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab. Primary endpoint: Pathological complete response rate. Secondary endpoints: Toxicity and quality of life. Conclusions: Trastuzumab emtansine monotherapy was better tolerated while maintaining comparable PCR rate as the group which received docetaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab. TAILORx trial (abstract 503) Design: Patients with node-negative, estrogen receptor–positive breast cancer with an Oncotype DX recurrence score of 11-25 were randomized to receive either hormone therapy alone or hormone therapy together with combination chemotherapy. Primary endpoint: Rate of distant recurrence at 9 years. Conclusions: There was no benefit from chemotherapy for younger women (aged 50 years or younger) with a recurrence score of 16-20 and at low risk clinically (small tumor size and favorable histologic grade). Those age younger than age 50 years with a score of 16-20, but high risk clinically, may benefit from chemotherapy. Much of the benefit derived from chemotherapy was because of ovarian suppression. Using the recurrence score in combination with clinical risk stratification allows clinicians to identify more young women who can be spared chemotherapy, and more young women who may benefit from antiestrogen therapy.

Publicado ainda este ano de 2019, o FLOT 4 é um estudo onde os autores utilizaram fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatina e docetaxel para tratamento de adenocarcinoma de estômago e TEG. Após o MAGIC Trial (ECF/ECX), comentado no episódio 9 do nosso podcast, esse novo esquema de quimioterapia vem sendo adotado como o que há de mais eficaz e moderno para o tratamento dessa doença. O ganho de sobrevida com o FLOT 4 foi de 15 meses com o HR de 0.77. Percebam a evolução do tratamento se juntar-mos o MAGIC com FLOT 4: 13 + 15 meses = 28 meses de ganho em sobrevida global!! Incrível não!?!? Não perca esse mais novo episódio e saiba mais sobre toda essa história!

Neste episódio discutimos um paper publicado pelo Dr. Annemieke Cats em abril de 2018. Nele, o Dr Cats, de modo inovador, compara o esquema ECF de quimioterapia perioperatória vs. QT/RT como adjuvante pós terapia com ECF seguido de cirurgia para adenocarcinoma gástrico ou de TEG. É um estudo fase III, randomizado onde foram recrutados 788 pacientes oriundos de 56 hospitais da Holanda, Suécia e Dinamarca. Os pacientes foram recrutados entre janeiro de 2007 e abril de 2015. Com uma mediana de follow up de 61.4 meses, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa de sobrevida entre os grupos (ECF perioperatória e RT/QT adjuvante). O estudo foi considerado negativo, tendo em vista que diferença estimada de 10% de sobrevida global a favor do braço QT/RT não foi atingida.

Daniel G. Haller, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, joins Blood & Cancer host David H. Henry, MD, also of the University of Pennsylvania, to review the top research presented at ASCO GI 2019. Plus, in Clinical Correlation, Ilana Yurkiewicz, MD, of Stanford (Calif.) University shares the story of a patient who had no questions about the details of his treatment but needed answers about the “big picture.” Show Notes By Emily Bryer, DO, resident in the department of internal medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Phase 2 trial of pembrolizumab (Keytruda), chemotherapy, and trastuzumab (Herceptin) in gastric cancer: Patients had previously untreated HER2 IHC+ or FISH+ tumors. Patients received pembrolizumab, trastuzumab/CAPOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) or FOLFOX (folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin). Patients all had a 100% response rate, prompting an ongoing phase 3 trial (KEYNOTE-811). Third-line therapy for gastric cancer – TAGS, a phase 3 trial: supportive care vs. trifluridine plus tipiracil (Lonsurf): Gastrectomy did not affect outcome, safety, or pharmacokinetics. Neutropenia, a major toxicity, is manageable. Trifluridine and tipiracil are now a National Comprehensive Cancer Network Level 1 guideline for third-line therapy in patients with gastric cancer. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer: Compared neoadjuvant gemcitabine and S1 (NAC-GS) with upfront surgery for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and planned resection. Saw a significant survival benefit (37 months) of NAC-GS over upfront surgery (26 months). Circulating tumor cells (CTC) in colorectal cancer: Studied patients with planned colonoscopies for colorectal screening. Took blood at the time of the procedure. Identified an absolute correlation with CTC and an increased disease burden in patients with colon cancer. Additional reading: Lancet Oncol. 2018 Nov;19(11):1437-48.
