The therapeutic landscape of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer includes endocrine treatments with aromatase inhibitors (AIs), selective modulators (SERMs), and degraders (SERDs). Fulvestrant is the first approved SERD proven efficacy good tolerability in clinical practice. However, secondary drug resistance, low affinity, parental administration stimulated search for new oral SERDs opening a era ER + cancer. Elacestrant an orally bioavailable that has been recently by FDA...

In spite of the effectiveness endocrine therapy plus cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors as first-line treatment for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, erb-b2 tyrosine 2 (ERBB2 [formerly HER2/neu])-negative (ER+/ERBB2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC), patients eventually develop resistance, and most will receive chemotherapy. The METEORA-II trial compared a metronomic all-oral with intravenous (IV)

Although ovarian cancer is one of the most chemotherapy-sensitive solid tumors, cure after radical surgery and chemotherapy uncommon. A randomized trial comparing high-dose sequential with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) support platinum-based combination was conducted to investigate whether dose-intensification improves outcome.One hundred forty-nine patients untreated were randomly assigned debulking receive standard or (HD) treatment two cycles cyclophosphamide paclitaxel followed by...

HER-2 overexpression is associated to a poor prognosis in high-risk and metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDC). status also predictive factor when trastuzumab administered combination or sequentially chemotherapy, significant disease-free and/or overall survival improvement has been observed HER-2+ early MBC. Unfortunately, both settings, an increased risk of cardiac dysfunction (CD). We have reviewed the clinical charts HER-2-overexpressing MBC...

<h3>Importance</h3> Bone resorption inhibitors (BRIs) are recommended by international guidelines to prevent skeletal-related events (SREs) among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and bone metastases. Abiraterone acetate prednisone is currently the most common first-line therapy for treatment of mCRPC; however, clinical impact addition BRIs abiraterone in this disease setting unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate association use concomitant overall...

Highlights•Maintenance everolimus plus AIs did not show significant PFS prolongation over AIs.•A higher number of disease progression as best response was observed in the AI arm.•Taking into account tolerability, maintenance endocrine therapy remains standard.AbstractBackgroundDespite being mainstay treatment for hormone receptor positive (HR+)/HER2− metastatic breast cancer, patients at risk visceral crisis or doubt sensitivity are still offered first-line chemotherapy. Maintenance hormonal...

Abstract Background Although the efficacy of molecularly target agents in vitro, their use routine setting is limited mainly to anti‐HER2 and antiEGFR vivo. Moreover, core biopsy a single cancer site may not be representative whole expanding clones molecular profile at relapse differ with respect primary tumor.

The efficacy of high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous hemopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (AHPCT) for breast cancer (BC) patients has been an area intense controversy among the medical oncology community. aim this study was to assess toxicity procedure in a large cohort high-risk primary BC who underwent AHPCT Italy. A total 1183 receiving HDC (HRBC) (>3 positive nodes) were identified Italian registry. median age 46 years, 62% premenopausal at treatment, 60.1% had...

Objectives: Never-smokers may be a distinct subgroup among patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, appearing to benefit less from immunotherapy than smokers. We report results never-smokers enrolled in the Italian cohort of nivolumab expanded access program pre-treated squamous cancer. Materials and methods: Nivolumab (3 mg/kg every 2 weeks for ≤24 months) was available on physician request. Efficacy data included objective tumor response, date progression, survival information....

TPS4602 Background: Despite recent advances in drug therapy, pts with mRCC have about a 10% 5-year survival rate. Several preclinical studies documented an increase peripheral antitumour immunity following radiation, phenomenon known as the abscopal effect. NIVO is anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody that blocks tumour growth different ways by targeting certain cells. It might work even better when combined SBRT. The irradiated death can enhance antitumor inducing antigen...

<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Recurrent gynecological tumors (eg, endometrial and ovarian cancers) are incurable diseases; therefore, new treatment options urgently needed. The PTEN-AKT-PI3K pathway is frequently altered in these tumors, representing a potential target. Alpelisib an α-specific PI3K inhibitor approved PIK3CA-mutated advanced breast cancer. We report outcomes from large series of patients with cancers prospectively treated alpelisib within controlled program....

Background Liquid biopsy is mainly used to identify tumor cells in pulmonary neoplasms. It more often research than clinical practice. The BL-MOL-AR study aims investigate the efficacy of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and interpretation circulating free DNA (cfDNA) levels. This reports preliminary results from first samples analyzed patients affected by various neoplasms: lung, intestinal, mammary, gastric, biliary, cutaneous.
