The study results, according to one expert, show that Cabometyx should be considered the new standard for systemic therapy in patients with metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma.

Treatment with Padcev, compared to chemotherapy, continues to show better results in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma who had previously received certain therapies.

The results of the phase 3 trial, according to one expert, support the use of Lenvima with Keytruda as a possible first-line treatment option for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Treatment with sapanisertib was associated with limited activity and poor safety outcomes in patients with refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

For patients to maintain or improve their quality of life through their cancer treatment, it is pivotal that they communicate with their health care team.

Clinical trials remain the gold standard when it comes to finding new treatment options for patients, particularly when it comes to renal cell carcinoma. But even if the results are positive and this combination proves to be beneficial, patients should still discuss all of their options with their oncologist to find the right sequence of treatment, says one expert.

The combination of Erleada, Zytiga and the steroid prednisone was associated with a trend toward better survival outcomes in certain patients with chemotherapy-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Front-line treatment with Opdivo plus Cabometyx improved health-related quality of life outcomes in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Patients with metastatic non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma who receive immune checkpoint inhibitor–based regimens as a first treatment option may have improved survival, versus those who receive select targeted therapies.

The combination of Lenvima plus everolimus was found to be an acceptable treatment option for patients who have previously received immunotherapy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma, according to the findings of an exploratory analysis of a phase 2 trial presented virtually at the 2021 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.

Approximately half of the patients with breast cancer who failed anti-nausea or vomiting therapy for chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting during their first cycle of treatment failed to avoid the side effect at some point during the next three treatment cycles.

Tesetaxel, a novel agent, with Xeloda contributed to a median progression-free survival of 9.8 months, compared with 6.9 months with Xeloda alone, in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

An increase in gastrointestinal side effects were found with the more effective combination of oral paclitaxel and encequidar; however, new safety evaluations demonstrated that various antiemetics can help treat these effects in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

The benefit observed in patients with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia treated with Imbruvica (ibrutinib) plus Rituxan (rituximab), compared with placebo and Rituxan, focused on survival and response to the treatment, both of which occurred despite prior treatment and genotypes.

Dr. Knight presents findings that suggest financial intervention can improve mortality rate in patients with hematologic malignancy at the 2020 ASH Meeting.

Compared with patients assigned bendamustine with Rituxan, those assigned Venclexta with Rituxan maintained an overall survival benefit, with a five-year OS estimate of 82.1% for the Venclexta with Rituxan group vs. 62.2% for the bendamustine with Rituxan group.

Data suggest that patients with CLL/SLL who achieve confirmed undetectable minimal residual disease following 12 cycles of Imbruvica combined with Venclexta could possibly discontinue and reasonably remain off treatment.

An analysis of the phase 2 study IMbark shows how imetelstat can offer patients with high-risk myelofibrosis multiple clinical benefits, setting the stage for an expanded phase 3 trial.

Evolving standards of care in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) have given patients a wider variety of possibilities but can also be disconcerting. In a presentation during CURE®’s Educated Patient® Multiple Myeloma Summit, Dr. Clifton Mo, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, explores the treatment landscape and breaks down what these different options can offer patients.
