Mashup Score: 0Optimizing and Refining Immunotherapy in Breast Cancer - 1 year(s) ago
Despite a rocky start in breast cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have now made their way into clinical practice.1 As noted in the review article accompanying this commentary by Jacob et al2 titled Role of Immunotherapy in Breast Cancer, the journey in developing immunotherapy in breast cancer has been challenging. Indeed, we have observed mostly low response rates to single-agent ICIs,…

Mashup Score: 0Role of Immunotherapy in Breast Cancer - 1 year(s) ago
The advent of immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has revolutionized the treatment of solid tumor malignancies. In breast cancer, the most robust data to date for ICI exist for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Preclinical studies suggested increased antitumoral immune response in patients with TNBC undergoing ICI treatment. Early clinical trials investigated the…

Mashup Score: 1Current Issues in the Management of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Advanced-Stage High-Grade Serous Carcinoma of the Ovary - 1 year(s) ago
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of mortality in patients with gynecologic malignancies. Advanced-stage high-grade serous carcinoma accounts for most ovarian cancer cases. Current issues in the management of patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer include decisions on primary versus interval cytoreduction, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy,…

Mashup Score: 5Key Clinical Principles in the Management of Glioblastoma - 1 year(s) ago
Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in the adult population and leads to considerable morbidity and mortality. It has a dismal prognosis with average survival of 15-18 months, and the current standard-of-care treatment paradigm includes maximal surgical resection and postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy and maintenance chemotherapy, with consideration of Tumor…

PURPOSE: Numerous biologic drugs will soon be facing biosimilar competition. We study the case of trastuzumab, a revolutionary drug approved in 1998 to treat human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–positive breast cancer, to understand how trends in the price and treatment cost of the originator brand and biosimilar forms of trastuzumab evolved following biosimilar entry. METHODS: We use average…
