[VIRTUAL] Online CME closes gaps in CSCC management revealed in a virtual patient simulation. () - Apr 29, 2021 - Abstract #ASCO2021ASCO_5543; These results demonstrate the effectiveness of curriculum-based education for oncologists to address specific gaps in care as identified in a virtual patient simulation . This series of CME-certified online educational activities resulted in significant improvements in knowledge and competence in the assessment and treatment of patients with CSCC.

[VIRTUAL] Deep learning to identify and predict cardiotoxicities of anticancer drugs. () - Apr 29, 2021 - Abstract #ASCO2021ASCO_3987; Our analysis also identified myositis/myocarditis association with newer immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., atezolizumab, durvalumab, cemiplimab, avelumab) paralleling earlier signals for pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and ipilimumab . Deep Learning provides a comprehensive insight into emerging cardiotoxicity patterns of approved and investigational drugs, allows detection of ‘rogue’ chemical moieties, and shows promise for novel drug discovery and development.

Review, Journal, Combination therapy, Monotherapy, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy as upfront treatment for advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 expression ≥ 50%: selecting the best strategy. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 21, 2021 Nevertheless, a significant difference in terms of early progression-free survival rate emerges by analyzing and comparing the survival curves of the two strategies, reflecting a non-negligible loss of patients due to early disease progression at 3 and 6 months from treatment initiation with immunotherapy alone as compared to its association with chemotherapy. We deeply analyzed efficacy similarities and differences of the two approaches in advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 expression ≥50%, trying to suggest clinical and biologic aspects to be considered when facing the treatment choice.

[VIRTUAL] Pseudoprogression in ACSCC tumors () - Apr 18, 2021 - Abstract #EADOWCM2021EADO-WCM_771; In this type of tumors, physical examination with respect to CT scan allows physicians to evaluate lesions evolution more frequently. Without rapid clinical deterioration, we recommend administrated Cemiplimab despite of early cutaneous changes.

[VIRTUAL] PD-1 inhibitors for advanced basal cell carcinoma: where do we stand? () - Apr 18, 2021 - Abstract #EADOWCM2021EADO-WCM_533; In contrast, multiple phase I and phase II trials have been completed for the treatment of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. The lack of completed studies may be due to the challenges of recruiting patients with a much rarer disease entity: aBCC.

Review, Journal, Checkpoint inhibition, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: CME Part I: Immune checkpoint inhibitors to treat cutaneous malignancies. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 10, 2021 This article reviews the indications, efficacy, safety profile and evidence supporting checkpoint inhibition as therapeutics for metastatic melanoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma. Pivotal studies resulting in the approval of ipilimumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, cemiplimab and avelumab by regulatory agencies for various cutaneous malignancies, as well as ongoing clinical research trials, are discussed.
