A randomized study of tucatinib (ONT-380) vs. placebo in combination with capecitabine and trastuzumab in patients with pretreated HER2-pos. metastatic breast cancer: HER2CLIMB

Neoadjuvant bevacizumab and anthracycline-taxane-based chemotherapy in 678 triple-negative primary breast cancers; results from the geparquinto study (GBG 44).

Abstract Background We evaluated the pathological complete response (pCR) rate after neoadjuvant epirubicin, (E) cyclophosphamide (C) and docetaxel containing chemotherapy with and without the addition of bevacizumab in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Patients and methods Patients with untreated cT1c-4d TNBC represented a stratified subset of the 1948 participants of the HER2-negative part of the GeparQuinto trial. Patients were randomized to receive four cycles EC (90/600 mg/m2; q3w) followed by four cycles docetaxel (100 mg/m2; q3w) each with or without bevacizumab (15 mg/kg; q3w) added to chemotherapy. Results TNBC patients were randomized to chemotherapy without (n =…

Combination therapy with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and carboplatin in gynecologic malignancies: A prospective phase II study of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäekologische Onkologie Studiengruppe Ovarialkarzinom (AGO-OVAR) and Kommission Uterus (AGO-K-Ut)

Abstract Objective. A multicenter non-randomized phase II study was initiated to evaluate tolerability and efficacy of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in combination with carboplatin in gynecologic malignancies. Methods. One hundred forty women with recurrent or advanced endometrial ( n =31), cervical or vaginal cancer ( n =31), uterine sarcomas ( n =11), or recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer ( n =67) received six courses of PLD 40 mg/m 2 and carboplatin (AUC 6) every 28 days. Results. Hematological toxicities with NCI-CTC grade 3/4 were anemia in 8%, thrombocytopenia in 14%, neutropenia in 24%, and febrile neutropenia in 2% of 652 cycles. Grade 3/4 non-hematological toxiciti…

Targeted mRNA sequencing of small formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded breast cancer samples for the quantification of immune and cancer-related genes

Treatment and outcomes of patients in the Brain Metastases in Breast Cancer Network Registry

Brain metastases (BMs) have a major impact on life expectancy and quality of life for many breast cancer patients. Knowledge about treatment patterns and outcomes is limited.We analysed clinical data of 1712 patients diagnosed with BMs from breast cancer between January 2000 and December 2016 at 80 institutions.Median age at diagnosis of BMs was 56 years (22-90 years). About 47.8% (n = 732) of patients had HER2-positive, 21.4% (n = 328) had triple-negative and 30.8% (n = 471) had hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative (luminal-like) primary tumours. The proportion of patients with HER2-positive BMs decreased comparing the years 2000-2009 with 2010-2015 (51%-44%), whereas the percenta…
