Review, Journal: Management of BRAF-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer: a review of treatment options and evidence-based guidelines. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 15, 2021 Recently, combination strategies involving MAPK pathway blockade have shown promising results in BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC, and other potential targets continue to be explored. In addition, a greater understanding of the role of BRAF V600E mutation in the pathogenesis of CRC should also continue to fuel advances in the management of patients with mCRC harboring this genetic aberration.

Clinical, Journal: Triple therapy with osimertinib, bevacizumab and cetuximab in EGFR-mutant lung cancer with HIF-1α/TGF-α expression. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 14, 2021 In the large xenograft tumor model, the triple therapy induced the greatest inhibitory effect on tumor growth compared with osimertinib alone and its combination with bevacizumab. Clinical trials of the triple therapy are required for patients with lung cancer with EGFR mutations and HIF-1α/TGF-α.

Clinical, Review, Journal, IO biomarker: Cetuximab in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: biological mechanisms involved in efficacy, toxicity and resistance. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 12, 2021 Acquired resistance is associated with microenvironment plasticity, which is, in turn, characterized by an increased immune infiltrate. The better definition of patients eligible for this kind of therapy could improve HNSCC management, possibly proposing a combined treatment with radiotherapy, cetuximab and immune checkpoint inhibitors as recently investigated.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Journal: Weekly chemotherapy as first line treatment in frail head and neck cancer patients in the immunotherapy era. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 7, 2021 The weekly schedule appears to be an active and safe strategy in frail patients with R/M HNSCC. Based on these data, a weekly schedule could be considered as a first line treatment in all frail patients excluded from pembrolizumab treatment and a study on the combination of weekly chemotherapy and immunotherapy should be performed.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Radiotherapy and Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition for Solid Cancers (ROCKIT): A Meta-Analysis of 13 Studies. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 6, 2021 The addition of RTKis to radiotherapy-based treatment did not improve overall survival (hazard ratio = 1.02, 95% confidence interval = 0.90 to 1.15, P = .76) but increased grade 3+ toxicity (relative risk = 1.18, 95% confidence interval = 1.06 to 1.33, P = .009). The addition of RTKis to radiotherapy does not improve survival and worsens toxicity.

Journal, Tumor Mutational Burden: Mutational signatures impact the evolution of anti-EGFR antibody resistance in colorectal cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 4, 2021 Anti-EGFR antibodies such as cetuximab are active against KRAS/NRAS wild-type colorectal cancers (CRCs), but acquired resistance invariably evolves...This result suggests that chemotherapy mutagenesis can accelerate resistance evolution. Mutational signatures may be a new class of cancer evolution predictor.

Journal: Carfilzomib Promotes the Unfolded Protein Response and Apoptosis in Cetuximab-Resistant Colorectal Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 4, 2021 Carfilzomib displayed potent antiproliferative effects, induced the unfolded protein response as determined by enhanced CHOP expression and ATF6 activity, and enhanced apoptosis as determined by enhanced caspase-3/7 activity. Overall, our results indicate a potentially novel indication for carfilzomib: that of a potential alternative agent to treat cetuximab-resistant colorectal cancer.

[VIRTUAL] Presurgical Chemotherapy for HPV Positive Oropharyngeal Squamous Cancers () - Aug 3, 2021 - Abstract #AHNS2021AHNS_802; However, given HPV related tumors of the oropharynx have a more favorable prognosis regardless of treatment, radiotherapy was avoided in most patients without sacrificing survival. With the advent of newer chemotherapies and surgical techniques, radiation now has the highest treatment morbidity.

Review, Journal: Colorectal Cancer: From Genetic Landscape to Targeted Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 31, 2021 Targeted therapy has led to great improvement in the treatment of metastatic CRC. However, there has been variability in CRC treatment outcomes due to molecular heterogeneity in colorectal tumors, which underscores the need for identifying prognostic and predictive biomarkers for CRC-targeted drugs.
