MARIANNE Update: T-DM1 Does Not Significantly Improve Survival in HER2+ Breast Cancer
The antibody drug conjugate, T-DM1, when used alone or in combination with pertuzumab, did not significantly improve overall survival compared with trastuzumab and a taxane.
Electronic Patient-reported Outcome System Improves Survival Among Patients With Cancer
A study showed that symptom monitoring by integrating electronic patient-reported outcomes into clinical practice vs usual care extended OS by more than 5 months.
PALOMA-1 Update: Survival With Palbociclib Not Significantly Improved in ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer
Data from PALOMA-1/TRIO-18 showed that combining palbociclib and letrozole did not significantly improve survival compared with letrozole alone among patients with breast cancer.
Abemaciclib Plus Fulvestrant Is Effective Therapy in Endocrine-resistant Breast Cancer
Patients with breast cancer who progress on endocrine therapy and are then treated with abemaciclib and fulvestrant have a 45% decreased risk for progression.
Aldoxorubicin Improves Outcomes in Relapsed/Refractory Sarcoma
Aldoxorubicin significantly prolongs PFS and provides better objective response rates than investigators’ choice of treatment or standard of care in the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma.
Korean Red Ginseng Improves Cancer-related Fatigue in Colorectal Cancer
Consuming Korean red ginseng was reported to improve cancer-related fatigue among Korean patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with FOLFOX.
Promising Activity Reported for Nivolumab in Gynecologic Cancers
Nivolumab, a programmed death (PD)-1 inhibitor, showed promising clinical activity in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancers and provides a promising new approach to treatment.
