Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Bilal Siddiqui, MD Long-term management of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) goes beyond selecting an effective therapy—it also requires careful consideration of tolerability, drug interactions, and treatment access. Balancing these factors can help clinicians personalize care while supporting adherence and quality of life over time. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share practical strategies for navigating these decisions and tailoring treatment to each patient's unique needs is Dr. Bilal Siddiqui. He's an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genitourinary Medical Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Host: Steve Jackson, PharmD Guest: Jahan Aghalar, MD Guest: Ulka Vaishampayan, MD With more treatment options than ever for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), applying clinical trial data in everyday practice has become increasingly complex. Understanding how differences in trial design, patient populations, and clinical endpoints influence treatment decisions is essential for delivering personalized care. Join Dr. Steve Jackson as he speaks with Drs. Jahan Aghalar and Ulka Vaishampayan about practical approaches to interpreting the evidence and tailoring therapy to the patients in front of you. Dr. Aghalar is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, and Dr. Viashampayan is a Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, the Director of the Phase One Program, and co-founder of the Translational and Clinical Research Program at the Rogel Cancer Center.

Dr. Sidana is an Associate Professor of Medicine, and she leads the Myeloma CAR T and Immunotherapy program at Stanford Medicine. Dr. Graff is the Director of Clinical Research at Mission Cancer + Blood, and she serves on the National CAR T-Cell Advisory Board for Multiple Myeloma.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Guest: Christopher T. Chen, MD What if a simple blood draw could reveal whether a patient is responding to treatment before surgery? That question is at the heart of a study presented at the 2025 ESMO Congress, which investigated neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade in mismatch-repair-proficient (MMR-p) colon cancer. In addition to confirming that combination immunotherapy prior to surgery is a safe and feasible approach, the study also found that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels correlated with both tumor burden and early treatment response. Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to unpack these insights is Dr. Christopher Chen, Assistant Professor in the Division of Oncology in the Department of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Faculty experts first explore new data on perioperative and adjuvant immunotherapy in locally advanced disease then discuss novel targeted and immunotherapy-based approaches that are showing promise in recurrent/metastatic disease. Safety profiles, patient-reported outcomes, and multidisciplinary considerations are addressed to support thoughtful integration of these therapies into real-world practice. These insights reinforce evolving strategies designed to enhance outcomes for patients across the full HNSCC spectrum.=

Drs. William Wierda and Matthew Davids discuss key distinctions between continuous BTK inhibitor therapy and time-limited venetoclax-based regimens, while highlighting considerations such as comorbidities, toxicities, IGHV status, and TP53 aberrations. They examine recent and emerging data from trials including CLL17, AMPLIFY, and BRUIN CLL-313, as well as novel agents. The conversation underscores the importance of personalized therapy selection in frontline CLL care.=

He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing resistance from intolerance to BTK inhibitors through clinical history and molecular testing. Data from the BRUIN trial support the use of pirtobrutinib in select patients, while newer agents, including BTK degraders and bispecific antibodies, offer promising potential. Collaboration with CLL specialists is encouraged to guide therapy sequencing and access advanced treatments such as CAR T-cell therapy.=

Dr. Jennifer Brown discusses how distinguishing between resistance and intolerance to BTK and BCL2 inhibitors informs second-line treatment decisions. The conversation highlights the role of measurable residual disease (MRD) in guiding therapy duration, biomarker reassessment, and shared decision-making based on patient preferences and clinical risk factors.=

Experts review pivotal data across early-stage and metastatic breast cancer, including advances in HER2- and TROP2-directed ADCs, and discuss how these findings can meaningfully inform treatment selection. Participants will learn how to apply new evidence to expand therapeutic options, improve patient outcomes, and navigate emerging safety and quality of life considerations.=
