According to preliminary findings from the phase Ib KEYNOTE-173 trial, combining the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab with platinum/taxane chemotherapy led to high rates of pathologic complete response in patients with locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer.

According to Huma Q. Rana, MD, genetic testing provides valuable benefit in the treatment landscape of gynecologic cancers. It can inform physicians of the individual and familial risk for developing a malignancy, alert patients of potential screening and preventative measures, and guide selection of potential targeted therapies.

Neelima Denduluri, MD, discusses each CDK4/6 inhibitor as potential first-line and second-line therapies based on the data from the PALOMA-2, MONALEESA-2 and -7, and MONARCH 3 trials, which led to their approvals.

According to the final analysis of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial, finasteride, an agent commonly used to treat lower urinary tract problems and baldness in men, was safe and effective in reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

Bradley McGregor, MD,&nbsp;discusses the impact of combination therapies on the treatment landscape of renal cell carcinoma.

Joseph Stilwill, MD,&nbsp;addresses recent advancements in melanoma and the focus of research moving forward.

The use of triplet regimens for the treatment of patients with relapsed multiple myeloma has become one of the most favorable treatments recently. OPTIMISMM, a phase III trial, investigated bortezomib and dexamethasone with or without pomalidomide as another triplet regimen option for use in earlier lines of therapy, said Peter Voorhees, MD.<br /> &nbsp;

Treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is awaiting the potential integration of combinations of immuno-oncology agents like nivolumab (Opdivo) and ipilimumab (Yervoy), or combinations of targeted therapies with checkpoint inhibitors into the treatment paradigm. In an interview with&nbsp;<em>Targeted Oncology</em>, Robert A. Figlin, MD, discusses the expanding RCC armamentarium and balancing the benefits and risks of standard and emerging treatments to achieve optimal outcomes.

A novel regimen of immunotherapy, angiogenesis inhibition, and chemotherapy brings promising outcomes for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The synergic combination, notes Benjamin P. Levy, MD, would be exciting to have in the landscape.
