Researchers did not observe any grade 3 or 4 adverse events with darolutamide with androgen deprivation therapy for 6 months followed by radical prostatectomy in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer.

All patients enrolled in the EV-302 trial with previously untreated, locally advanced, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma obtained a survival benefit with enfortumab vedotin-ejfv plus pembrolizumab.

Cabozantinib plus atezolizumab may be a new treatment option for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer whose disease progressed on novel hormonal therapy.

Patients with cisplatin-ineligible urothelial carcinoma treated with frontline pembrolizumab plus cabozantinib obtained responses with a manageable toxicity profile.

Patients with high-risk prostate cancer treated with a higher dose of radiation therapy and long-term androgen deprivation therapy improved progression-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival compared with the standard dose of radiation.

Frontline olaparib plus abiraterone/prednisone improved progression-free survival and responses in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer compared with each of the components of the therapy alone.

Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were previously treated with external beam radiation therapy before radium-223 did not experience an increase in hematological toxicity compared with the overall population.

Despite germline and somatic testing being the standard of care for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, rates of its real-world use shows that it may be underutilized, which may negatively impact therapeutic offerings.

Darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer may lower hospitalization rates but marginally longer lengths of stay vs treatment with placebo, androgen deprivation therapy, and docetaxel.

Disitamab vedotin either alone or with TKIs, ICIs, or other antiangiogenic agents were consistently effective in patients with HER2-positive or -low breast cancers.

Detecting minimal residual disease with ctDNA in patients with stage II/III colorectal cancer may strongly predict disease recurrence and the potential benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.

Treatment with durvalumab, bevacizumab, and TACE improved PFS in embolization-eligible patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Treatment with regorafenib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma and poor liver function may lead to serious side effects that may result in discontinuation of the treatment.

Neoadjuvant treatment with camrelizumab plus nab-paclitaxel and cisplatin improved pathologic complete responses compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with frontline pembrolizumab plus lenvatinib showed a 3-year or more response among 35% of responders, although additional efficacy results from the trial are consistent with previous findings from the phase 3 LEAP-002 trial.

Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma obtained significant survival improvements when treated with tiragolumab plus atezolizumab and chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone.

Patients with resectable gastric and GEJ cancers, regardless of region, experienced an improved pathologic complete response to treatment with durvalumab plus neoadjuvant FLOT compared with chemotherapy alone.

Overall survival and progression-free survival improves with nivolumab plus chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in the overall population and in patients with a PD-L1 CPS of 5 or greater.

Nivolumab plus chemotherapy enhanced overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, or esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Treatment with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in the neoadjuvant setting, followed by a taxane, in addition to trastuzumab and pertuzumab, resulted in antitumor activity in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

After 3 years, ruxolitinib provided improved control for steroid refractory or dependent chronic graft-versus-host disease when compared with best available treatment.

Reducing the dose of talquetamab, a GPRC5D/CD3 bispecific antibody, may improve side effect rates while maintain high response rates in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

The major molecular response rate for asciminib at week 156 continued to be higher than with bosutinib.

Findings presented at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium described some possible avenues for artificial intelligence to be useful in breast cancer care.

At a median 39 months of follow-up, zanubrutinib reduced the risk of disease progression by 32% compared with ibrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Patients with multiple myeloma are living longer; therefore, their lifelong treatment expenses can become burdensome.

The overall response rate with ibrutinib plus venetoclax was 82% vs 74% with ibrutinib plus placebo.

The 4-year progression-free survival rate with daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone was 84.3% vs 67.7% with just bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone.
