Evidence-based guidelines for managing challenging NMSC
August 17th 2015Ongoing research is trying to identify strategies for overcoming resistance of advanced basal cell carcinoma to targeted therapy with a Hedgehog inhibitor. High level evidence to support adjuvant radiotherapy for high-risk non-melanoma skin cancers is lacking, but certain patients warrant evaluation by a multidisciplinary tumor board and treatment with adjuvant radiotherapy based on their risk for recurrence.
Rapid responders may offer clues to optimize immune therapy
July 6th 2015Some patients respond more rapidly to immune therapies like ipilimumab, and clinicians have observed delayed toxicities with prolonged use of checkpoint inhibitors; effective treatments for subtypes of melanoma, such as uveal melanoma, have not yet emerged.
Dinutuximab wins FDA approval for neuroblastoma
March 31st 2015FDA has approved dinutuximab (Unituxin, United Therapeutics) in combination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and 13-cis-retinoic acid (RA), for the treatment of high-risk pediatric neuroblastoma patients who achieve at least a partial response to prior first-line multiagent, multimodality therapy.
Advances in understanding, treating MCC
March 19th 2015Outcomes for patients with Merkel Cell Carcinoma are typically poor and therapeutic options are limited, but advances in understanding the biology of the disease, as well as emerging cutting-edge treatments are expected to improve the outlook, experts say.
Ipilimumab evaluated as adjuvant therapy
March 18th 2015Ipilimumab has been evaluated in the adjuvant setting. One expert predicts that ipilimumab’s positive effect on progression-free survival will translate into improvements in overall survival; however, he cautions that there is a risk:benefit ratio to be weighed.
