Profilin 1, or PFN1, is a key actin-binding protein that is involved in various cellular activities, such as cell motility, survival, and membrane trafficking. By summarizing the functions of PFN1 in cancer, investigators hope to better understand the mechanisms of PFN1 in cancer progression.
Veronica B. Decker, DNP, MBA, APRN, PMHCNS-BC, and colleagues discuss how to care for patients with cancer and serious mental illness.
Compared with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors, asciminib was better tolerated in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.
Shilong Wu, MD, and co-authors discuss how patients with thymoma are affected by prior cancer history.
Panelists discuss evolving frontline treatment strategies and future directions in HER2+ breast cancer, focusing on the latest advancements and emerging approaches in managing this subtype.
Experts discuss other therapies or clinical trials that might be explored after trastuzumab deruxtecan, particularly for patients with HER2-positive microsatellite-stable (MSS) adenocarcinoma and progression on multiple lines of therapy.
These data support less restrictive clinical trial eligibility criteria for those with metastatic NSCLC. This is especially true regarding both targeted therapy and immunotherapy treatment regimens.
Higher, durable rates of response to frontline therapy are needed to potentially improve long-term survival among patients with non–small cell lung cancer.
Yazeed Sawalha, MD, discusses how often autologous stem cell transplant is utilized in patients with mantle cell lymphoma.
This video segment discusses strategies for patient education and preparation for second-line treatment with RAS GTPase inhibitors, as well as therapeutic options to consider if a patient progresses on adagrasib.
Hans Kristian Nugraha, MD, SpOT, and colleagues detail the potential benefits of an arthroscopic surgical approach through a case study of a patient with giant cell tumor of bone.
Panelists discuss key strides made in 2024, including exciting data presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (ASH 2024), and reflect on pivotal developments, such as new insights into Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, that are shaping clinical practice while looking ahead to 2025 with anticipation for continued advancements that will further enhance treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
“PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with pCR, which increased with higher PD-L1 expression on immune cells,” said Giampaolo Bianchini, an author of the NeoTRIPaPDL1 study.
Suneel K. Kamath, MD, et al investigated exceptional responders and the correlation of nonsynonymous mutations for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
A multicenter study found that using lenvatinib for initial treatment helped to increase survival in patients with stage B2 hepatocellular carcinoma.
Leaders in genitourinary oncology spoke about key research advances as well as personal experiences in navigating the field.
Julian Adams, PhD, discusses the potential of Omidubicel for patients with hematologic cancers such as lymphomas and leukemias.
This review article published in the journal ONCOLOGY® looks at the successful clinical development of immunotherapies, PARP inhibitors, and antibody-drug conjugates for the management of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and how these have improved the survival outcome of patients. Over the coming years, therapeutic developments in precision medicine will likely change the treatment landscape and might make the current definition of triple-negative breast cancer as a disease that is estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 negative obsolete.
Qianyue Deng, MD, and colleagues examine the efficacy of thoracic radiotherapy for the treatment of unresectable non-small cell lung cancer.
Ravi A. Madan, MD, discusses the potential impact of docetaxel, abiraterone acetate, androgen deprivation therapy, and radiotherapy on patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
