Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a mature hematological neoplasm characterized by histological infiltration (bone marrow and/or extramedullary plasmacytomas) clonal plasma cells and the presence of one or more defining events, including anemia, renal impairment, osteolytic lesions, hypercalcemia. The management MM has drammaticaly evolved over past few years. However, new drugs are not available in Brazilian public health service treatment still challenge, especially relapsed/refractory setting. We...
275 Background: While detection of MRD using ctDNA is prognostic for recurrence in CRC, some patients still recur prior to detection. VICTORI prospectively investigating NeXT Personal, an ultra-sensitive NGS-based assay, profile with resected CRC. Methods: Patients CRC treated curative intent (all stages) are tested a bespoke assay up ~1,800 tumor-informed single nucleotide variants (SNVs) identified from whole-genome sequencing. Plasma collected surgery, every 2 weeks post-surgery week 8...
Advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) constitute a heterogeneous group of incurable cancers. Lenvatinib is an oral multiple kinase inhibitor that showed activity in grade 1/2 GEP-NENs the phase II TALENT trial, but confirmatory III study has yet to be conducted. To investigate real-world use lenvatinib treating patients with advanced GEP-NENs, we retrospectively analyzed cohort adults unresectable (NENs) from two academic centers Canada who received palliative...
Abstract Purpose: Sidedness is prognostic and predictive of anti-EGFR efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Transverse colon has been historically excluded from several analyses sidedness the optimal division between left- right-sided unclear. We investigated transverse primary tumor location as a biomarker mCRC. Experimental Design: Pooled analysis CCTG/AGITG CO.17 CO.20 trials cetuximab chemotherapy-refractory Outcomes patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type (WT) mCRC KRAS WT were...
4098 Background: Advances in systemic therapy for HCC have increased treatment options, including TKIs and immunotherapy combinations. Variables that predict patient outcomes may be helpful personalizing decisions. The aim of this study was to identify predictors short-term death (STD) long-term survival (LTS) patients. Methods: Retrospective review patients with advanced who received a TKI or combinations conducted between Aug 2018 2022 the Canadian provinces British Columbia, Alberta, Nova...
169 Background: Clonal hematopoesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the acquisition somatic mutations leading to clonal expansion hematopoietic stem cells and a common incidental finding in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Inflammation from these or reduced marrow reserve may impact treatment outcomes adverse events. We investigated incidence CHIP ctDNA patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers explored its association events (AEs). Methods: collected results local prospective...
4111 Background: Lenvatinib (LEN) and the combination of atezolizumab with bevacizumab (AB) are widely considered first-line systemic therapies for treatment advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but have never been compared directly in a randomized clinical trial. Cross-trial comparisons between IMbrave150 LEAP-002 appear to show similar survival outcomes AB LEN, respectively, while LEN was shorter REFLECT Methods: Patients treated or HCC from August 2018 2022 Canadian provinces British...
Abstract Octreotide LAR is a long‐acting somatostatin analogue (SSA) used in the management of metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NETs). It requires intramuscular (IM) injection. Missed IM injections cause subcutaneous nodules (SCNs) on radiologic images. We reviewed rates SCNs real‐world cohort GEP NETs receiving octreotide and explored treatment outcomes. Patients commencing between August 5, 2010 March 8, 2018 at single cancer center Canada were identified from...
