Review, Journal: Thyroid Cancers: From Surgery to Current and Future Systemic Therapies through Their Molecular Identities. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 22, 2021 A new generation of TKIs, specifically for single altered oncogenes, is under evaluation in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the current and future treatments of thyroid cancer with regards to the advanced and progressive cases that require systemic therapies that are becoming more and more targeted on the molecular identity of the tumor.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Skeletal Muscle Loss during Multikinase Inhibitors Therapy: Molecular Pathways, Clinical Implications, and Nutritional Challenges. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 13, 2021 Early recognition of low muscle mass and effective personalized nutritional support could prevent or attenuate muscle mass wasting. However, the role of nutrition is still overlooked, and future clinical trials are needed to find the optimal nutritional support to countermeasure muscle mass depletion during TKI therapy.

Journal: NOD2 inhibits tumorigenesis and increases chemosensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting AMPK pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 Moreover, we demonstrated that NOD2 activated AMPK pathway by directly binding with AMPKα-LKB1 complex, which led to autophagy-mediated apoptosis of HCC cells. Altogether, this study showed that NOD2 acted as a tumor suppressor as well as a chemotherapeutic regulator in HCC cells by directly activating AMPK pathway, which indicated a potential therapeutic strategy for HCC treatment by upregulating NOD2-AMPK signaling axis.

Journal: Symptomatic and asymptomatic biliary disorders during lenvatinib treatment for advanced thyroid cancer is an underestimated problem. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 and our data the prevalence of this adverse event is of 16/118 (13.5%) and it seems independent from the starting daily dose. Only few differences have been observed: in our series some patients developed the adverse event even several months of treatment although the median time of onset was 3 months, some patients were asymptomatic and the disease was discovered at CT scan, some patients completely recover after the daily dose reduction and did not need to be operated.

Starting lenvatinib at BTS <42 mm should be recommended to achieve good treatment outcomes in patients with RR-DTC.

Review, Journal: The Role of Cabozantinib as a Therapeutic Option for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Current Landscape and Future Challenges. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 In this review, we focus on cabozantinib, a multikinase inhibitor which was proven effective in improving overall and progression-free survival of patients previously treated with sorafenib in the randomized Phase III CELESTIAL trial...In this review, we also make a particular mention to the use of cabozantinib in populations which are normally excluded from clinical trials, such as older patients and Child-Pugh B patients. Finally, we present the new treatment strategies in which cabozantinib is being tested, most notably the combination of cabozantinib and atezolizumab in the first-line setting in the phase III COSMIC-312 trial and the use of cabozantinib after progression on immune-checkpoint inhibitors.

[VIRTUAL] Reversing lenvatinib resistance in liver cancer (Channel 3) - Apr 10, 2021 - Abstract #EACR2021EACR_207; P=N/A The encouraging results of the first 12 patients enrolled in this trial will be presented at the conference Conclusion Synthetic lethal genetic screens can help identify powerful drug combinations for drugs that have limited single agent activity. That synthetic lethal screens can lead to new clinical applications is also supported by the notion that our 2012 identification of synthetic lethality between BRAF and EGFR inhibitors in BRAF mutant colon cancer resulted in an EMA and FDA approval for this combination therapy in 2020.

[VIRTUAL] Molecular markers of response to anti-pd1 therapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (Poster area) - Apr 9, 2021 - Abstract #EASLILC2021EASL_ILC_730; We identified an 11-gene signature of response to anti- PD1 therapy in first line advanced HCC, which was validated in other solid tumors. This signature did not identify responders after TKI treatment, thus calling for the need of biopsies prior to anti-PD1 therapy to enable biomarker-based precision oncology.
