Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy combined with the FOLFOX regimen for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: recent advances and literature review
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2024 Apr 24:1-12. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2346624. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The incidence of primary liver cancer (PLC) has experienced a significant global increase, primarily attributed to the rise in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Unfortunately, HCC is often diagnosed in advanced stages, leaving patients with limited treatment options. Therefore, transformation therapy is a crucial approach for long-term survival and radical resection in patients with advanced HCC. Conversion therapy has demonstrated promise in the treatment of advanced HCC. When integrated with the FOL...

Novel oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) to target hormone receptor positive breast cancer: Elacestrant as the poster-child
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2024 Apr 20. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2346188. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer is the most common breast cancer subtype, and therapeutic management relies primarily on inhibiting ER signaling. In the metastatic setting, ER signaling is typically targeted by selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) or aromatase inhibitors (AIs), the latter of which prevent estrogen production. Activating ESR1 mutations are among the most common emergent breast cancer mutations and confer resistance to AIs.AREAS COVERED: Until 2023, fulvestrant was ...

The effect of age, sex, and eastern cooperative oncology group performance status on the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: ICI therapy in HCC should not be restricted strictly to certain patients in age or sex categories, while HCC patients with higher ECOG PS may require closer medication or follow-up strategy during ICI therapy.PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD42024518407.PMID:38623811 | DOI:10.1080/14737140.2024.2341723 (Source: Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy)

Do treatment patterns differ in those with early-onset colorectal cancer?
CONCLUSION: EOCRC patients are given more adjuvant chemotherapy, without a corresponding improvement in outcomes, highlighting a potential for increased treatment-related harms, particularly in stage 2 disease. Clinicians should be mindful of these biases when treating young cancer patients and need to carefully consider treatment-related harms.PMID:38619285 | DOI:10.1080/14737140.2024.2341731 (Source: Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy)

Targeting GPRC5D in multiple myeloma
Expert Rev Anticancer Ther. 2024 Apr 16:1-10. doi: 10.1080/14737140.2024.2343114. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: The prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM) continues to improve. Recent progress in therapies, using immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), proteasome inhibitors (PIs), and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, has greatly improved patients' outcomes. Despite these advancements, relapses still happen often, and patients can become resistant to the usual treatments. Newer treatments, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) targeting B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), h...
