A Phase II Study of Rucaparib Monotherapy in Nonmetastatic, Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Demonstrating "BRCAness" Genotype (ROAR)
CONCLUSION: Rucaparib demonstrated acceptable toxicity and efficacy signal as an ADT-sparing approach in patients with biochemically recurrent nonmetastatic prostate cancer. It is currently challenging to understand the optimal value of systemic therapy in this disease setting due to the rapidly changing standard of care. Additionally, there are relatively few patients with BRCAness who present with nonmetastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03533946).PMID:38452035 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae030 (Source: The Oncologist)

Plasma ctDNA Monitoring of a PTCH1-Mutant Metastatic Adult Medulloblastoma Showing a Durable Benefit With Vismodegib
We present the case of a 26-year-old patient with a recurrent MB, in which next-generation sequencing (FoundationOne CDx) revealed a mutation in PTCH1, allowing the patient to be treated with vismodegib in second line, resulting in a durable benefit lasting for 1 year. Using an in-house digital PCR probe, the PTCH1 mutation could be tracked in ctDNA during treatment with first-line chemotherapy and while on treatment with vismodegib, demonstrating a precise correlation with the radiological and clinical behavior of the disease.PMID:38438322 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae026 (Source: The Oncologist)

Treatment and Prognosis of Male Breast Cancer: A Multicentric, Retrospective Study Over 11 Years in the Czech Republic
CONCLUSION: Due to the rarity of MBC, this study highlights important findings from real clinical practice. Although the number of patients with MBC with unfavorable features was higher in this Czech dataset than in international studies, the prognosis remains consistent with real-world evidence.PMID:38431780 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae031 (Source: The Oncologist)

Two Hematological Markers Predicting the Efficacy and Prognosis of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Using Lobaplatin Against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
CONCLUSION: PLR and NLR could be used to predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy with the taxane, anthracycline, and lobaplatin regimen for patients with TNBC, as patients who had lower PLR and NLR values had a higher tpCR rate and a better long-term prognosis.PMID:38431781 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae025 (Source: The Oncologist)

Integrating Patient-Reported Outcomes Into Prognostication in Gastroesophageal Cancer: Results of a Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Analysis
CONCLUSION: Patient's SB seems to carry a prognostic significance. ESAS and physician-reported ECOG exhibit comparable prognostic values. Physicians and patients can frequently have divergent opinions on PS. ESAS takes a patient-centered approach and should be encouraged in practice among patients with GEC as an additional tool for prognostication.PMID:38431782 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae010 (Source: The Oncologist)

Clinical Value of Timely Targeted Therapy for Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Actionable Driver Oncogenes
CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrated improved outcomes with upfront 1L TT versus non-TT in patients with aNSCLC with ADOs and observed timely switching to TT after biomarker test result had similar outcomes to Upfront TT. Opportunities remain to improve the use of NGS for early ADO identification and determination of 1L TT.PMID:38417095 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae022 (Source: The Oncologist)

Real-World Clinical Performance of a DNA-Based Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Assay for Detecting Targetable Fusions in Nonsquamous NSCLC
CONCLUSION: A well-designed DNA CGP assay is capable of robust fusion detection and these fusion calls are reliable for informing clinical decision-making. While DNA CGP detects most driver fusions, the clinical impact of fusion detection is substantial for individual patients and exhaustive efforts, inclusive of additional RNA-based testing, should be considered when an oncogenic driver is not clearly identified.PMID:38401173 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyae028 (Source: The Oncologist)
