Mashup Score: 15
PURPOSE Newer-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements have demonstrated high CNS activity. The optimal use of up-front stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases (BM) in patients eligible for CNS-penetrant TKIs is controversial, and data to guide patient management are limited. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on TKI-naïve patients with EGFR- and ALK-driven NSCLC with BM treated with CNS-penetrant TKIs with and without up-front SRS were retrospectively collected from seven academic centers in the United States. Time-to-CNS progression and overall survival (OS) were analyzed, with multivariable adjustment in Fine & Gray and Cox proportional hazards models for clinically relevant factors. RESULTS From 2013 to 2022, 317 patients were identified (200 TKI-only and 117 TKI + SRS). Two hundred fifty (79%) and 61 (19%) patients received osim

PURPOSE Paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin (TIP) is an established salvage regimen for germ cell tumors (GCT) on the basis of a phase II trial, but efficacy on a large patient cohort including patients with unfavorable risk features and long-term outcomes has not been reported. Herein, we report updated treatment efficacy and long-term follow-up with TIP. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with GCT who received TIP after cisplatin-based chemotherapy were eligible. Favorable response (complete response or partial response with negative tumor markers), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates, relapse, and toxicity were determined. Disease was reclassified according to the International Prognostic Factor Study Group (IPFSG) score. RESULTS Of the 104 patients, 87 had favorable risk factors and 17 had at least one unfavorable factor by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) criteria. Ten patients were treated for a second gonadal primary GCT. With a median foll

Mashup Score: 36Neoadjuvant SHR-1701 with or without chemotherapy in unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer: A proof-of-concept, phase 2 trial - 4 month(s) ago
Zhou et al. evaluated neoadjuvant SHR-1701 with chemotherapy, followed by surgery or radiotherapy in treating unresectable stage III NSCLC in a phase 2 trial. The regimen demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity with an acceptable safety profile. Surgical conversion after neoadjuvant treatment was feasible and was associated with better survival outcomes.
