Advances in Molecular Testing in Brain Cancer

Lutetium 177 dotatate showed activity and met the PFS end point in patients with surgery- or radiation-refractory grade 2/3 meningioma, per a phase 2 trial presented at ASTRO 2024.

In this episode of Targeted Talks, M. Michele Blackwood, MD, FACS, discusses the current landscape of breast cancer treatment and how personalized medicine with genomic testing is changing the field.

The phase 3 EMBER-3 trial showed imlunestrant improved PFS over SOC endocrine therapy in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with ESR1 mutations, though not significantly in the overall population.

In season 4, episode 10 of Targeted Talks, Craig Horbinski, MD, PhD, reviews the clinical practice guidelines for central nervous system cancers.

An analysis of phase 3 trials found tamoxifen significantly reduced 15-year ipsilateral breast recurrence in patients with “good risk” DCIS treated without radiation therapy.

In the phase 3 EUROPA trial, exclusive postoperative radiation therapy led to better health-related quality of life and fewer treatment-related adverse events in older patients with stage I luminal-like breast cancer at 24 months.
