In HR+ metastatic/recurrent #BreastCancer, co-use of PPIs or H2 blockers w/ CDK4/6 inhibitors was linked to worse PFS & OS in this study, needing caution when prescribing concomitant acid-suppressive therapy. @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno

In early #BreastCancer adjuvant trials, invasive disease-free survival & invasive breast cancer-free survival correlated w/ OS, esp. in HR+/HER2– disease; distant disease-free survival was the best surrogate in TNBC. @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno

In this meta-analysis, #lenvatinib was found to increase the risk of hypertension (all-grade=50%, grade ≥3=14%) & proteinuria (all-grade=32%, grade ≥3=6%), esp. w/ high doses (≥20mg). Close monitoring is required. https://t.co/fMXEAzIAXl

In patients with #melanoma (1–3 LN mets), selective LN dissection + adjuvant immunotherapy (IO) achieved a 2-yr RRFS of 65.7%, with low morbidity. This supports avoiding full LN dissection when feasible. @susanebates @gbanna74 @PasRescigno

Across 9 studies involving patients with cT4 #ColonCancer, laparoscopic colectomy (LC) was linked to a higher risk of peritoneal recurrence vs open colectomy (OR 1.61; HR 1.24). #crcsm

In this review of 22 studies involving older adults w/ cancer, #QoL was stable long-term but declined during treatment & last year of life. Comorbidities, older age, & mobility issues predicted decline. #gerionc #supponc

In early-stage #TNBC, chemo+ICI achieved 50% pCR (vs 35.9% w/ chemo alone), albeit lower than #KEYNOTE522 trial rates. Less pronounced real-world benefit needs further validation in a larger cohort. #immunotherapy #bcsm

In 6 🇹🇷 centers, #mCRPC pts treated with 177Lu-PSMA-617, prior #enzalutamide (vs #abiraterone) linked to ⬆️ PFS (7.6 vs 5.3 mo, P=0.068), ⬆️ OS (12.8 vs 6.9 mo, P=0.021) Sequencing is 🔑 #GUonc
