This video reviews novel treatment approaches in the management of higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes.
In this interview, we discuss a mathematical model that was created to predict patient response to immunotherapy for cancer treatment.

ASCO clinical practice guidelines recommend resection followed by treatment with gemcitabine and capecitabine as the standard of care; however, neoadjuvant therapy is also considered an appropriate alternative.
Neoadjuvant therapy is an attractive approach with the promise of clinical benefit for patients with surgically resectable pancreatic cancer. However, clinical trial results in support of this approach remain unconvincing.

A 56-year-old Caucasian woman presented to her primary care physician with a 3-month history of intermittent bright red rectal blood with defecation. At her initial visit, a digital rectal examination, anoscopy, and a pelvic examination with DNA testing for high-risk HPV were performed; all results were negative. She was referred for a colonoscopy, which revealed an abnormal area with a 3 × 4–cm mass in the rectum at a distance of 10 cm from the anal verge.

With increasing cancer survival, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is becoming a prominent clinical issue. FCR is prevalent, distressing, and long-lasting, and can negatively impact patients’ quality of life, use of health services, and adherence to follow-up recommendations. Novel targeted therapies may increase risk of FCR because of longer treatment duration and follow-up, increased prognostic precision, and omission of treatment based on genomic status.

This review focuses on clinical developments and management of newly diagnosed glioblastoma, and includes a discussion about the incorporation of molecular features into the classification of this disease.
In Part 2 of this review article, we discuss the management of primary CNS lymphoma, focusing in particular on systemic therapies and radiation, as well as provide clinicians with a comprehensive overview by covering the key investigations that have brought us to our current state of knowledge, and studies that may guide future interventions.

Here, we review the barriers to adherence, including those unique to childhood cancer survivors, and the rationale for distribution of a survivorship care plan. We also discuss advantages and potential limitations of delivering survivorship care plans via web-based platforms, and describe the unique features of one of these platforms, Passport for Care.

This video highlights results of REACT, a phase III multi-center double-blind randomized trial of celecoxib vs placebo in patients with breast cancer.
This video highlights recent studies advancing the field of breast cancer screening and diagnosis, including the potential need for increased surveillance in patients with false positives and patient access to mammography.
This video highlights a study on optoacoustic imaging, a new type of imaging that could improve breast cancer diagnosis by differentiating between benign and malignant breast masses.
This video reviews endocrine resistance mediated by CDK4/6, FGFR, and PI3K in HR-positive breast cancer, and highlights the latest efforts to inhibit these pathways with novel targeted drugs and combinations.
In this interview we discuss preliminary results of the COMPASS trial, which used whole-genome sequencing and RNA sequencing to analyze the tumors of patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to identify possible first-line treatments.
In this review, we will discuss the role of geriatric assessment, alternative treatment modalities for older women with triple-negative breast cancer, and other special considerations for this patient population.

Melanoma of the skin is the 19th most common malignant neoplasm worldwide, with 287,723 new cases estimated for 2018 and metastatic melanoma accounting for 4% of all new cases. In recent years, the prognosis of this stage has undergone a dramatic transformation with the advent of immunotherapy and BRAF/MEK targeted therapy.
