According to results presented during the 2016 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, neoadjuvant combination of CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib plus anastrazole may represent a novel therapeutic option for patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer.
Recent promising findings with the neoadjuvant combination of the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib with anastrozole could lead to a novel therapeutic option for patients with hormone receptor (HR)–positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer.
Denise A. Yardley, MD, shares the rationale for the METRIC trial, the uniqueness of glembatumumab vedotin, and how the antibody-drug conjugate has the power to transform the field of triple-negative breast cancer.
Clinical trial findings from the past year will likely have a game-changing effect on the multiple myeloma landscape, according to Rafael Fonseca, MD.
The promising clinical efficacy seen with the combination of erlotinib and bevacizumab as a treatment for patients with <em>EGFR</em>-mutant non–small cell lung cancer warrants widespread consideration.
Practitioners received insight into treating patients across the GI field during the GI cancers track at the 2016 Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium.
Targeted therapies have revolutionized the treatment of patients with non–small cell lung cancer; however, not all patients harbor identifiable driver mutations. Standard treatment options among patients lacking molecular targets include chemotherapy and antiangiogenesis agents.
