ESMO 2022: spotlight on new emerging treatment options in central nervous system tumors
SummaryNearly 40  abstracts regarding tumors of the central nervous system were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in September 2022. While no practice-changing data were shown, interesting early phase clinical trial results on immune-modulating agents, targeted treatments and o ther therapeutic modalities were revealed (Table 1). In this short review, we aim to summarize our personal highlights of the presented data and outline future perspectives in the field. (Source: Memo - Magazine of European Medical Oncology)

Position paper on CDK4/6 inhibitors in early breast cancer
SummaryInhibitors of the cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 (CDK4/6i) have been practice-changing and are now considered the standard of care in combination with endocrine therapy for the first- or second-line treatment in advanced hormone-receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ‑negative breast cancer. Recently, CDK4/6i have also emerged as an appealing targeted cancer therapy in early breast cancer, however results of large clinical trials are controversial. This position paper summarizes the evidence, and provides guidance for clinical practice. (Source: Memo - Magazine of European Medical Oncology)
