Treatment optimization in early triple negative breast cancer
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2023 Jul-Dec;23(10):1107-1116. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2023.2268840. Epub 2023 Oct 26.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The treatment of early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has radically changed in recent years. Response to neoadjuvant treatment has provided prognostic information, and the achievement of a pathological complete response (pCR) is associated with improved prognosis. An exact treatment algorithm that embraces the trade-off of efficacy and toxicity in a risk-adapted manner has, however, not been consolidated.AREAS COVERED: In this review, we focused on the current treatments used for...

The role of nelarabine in the treatment of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma: challenges, opportunities, and future directions
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2023 Oct 18:1-8. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2023.2271662. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Nelarabine is a guanine nucleoside analog and functions to terminate DNA synthesis in dividing cells. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that it preferentially accumulates in T-cells where it exerts its cytotoxic effects. After generations of treatment protocol advances, it has been incorporated into numerous treatment regimens against T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LLy). On 8 March 2023, the FDA approved the use of nelarabine for its use in T-ALL due to clear eviden...

Association between event-free survival and overall survival after neoadjuvant treatment for non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: We found a strong association between treatment effects for EFS and OS, indicating that improvements in EFS are likely to be predictive of improvements in OS. EFS may therefore be a reliable surrogate for OS after neoadjuvant therapy in r-NSCLC.PMID:37850939 | DOI:10.1080/14737140.2023.2272645 (Source: Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy)
