Combinaisons de chimiothérapie ou de radiothérapie et d’inhibiteurs de checkpoints
2018
Les progrès récents de l’immunothérapie en oncologie dus au développement des anticorps anti-PD1/PDL1 révolutionnent la prise en charge des patients. Malgré tout, l’efficacité de ces traitements en monothérapie est limitée à une sous-population représentant environ 25 à 30 % des patients dans la plupart des indications. Le développement de nouvelles stratégies se base sur les combinaisons entre les traitements standards (chimiothérapie cytotoxique et radiothérapie) et l’immunothérapie afin de trouver des combinaisons synergiques.
Osteonecrosis of the jaw related to non-antiresorptive medications: a systematic review
2018
The reporting of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) related to anticancer agents without known antiresorptive properties (non-antiresorptives), such as antiangiogenics, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and cytotoxic chemotherapy is increasing. To review characteristics of ONJ in cancer patients receiving non-antiresorptives. A systematic review of the literature between 2009 and 2017 was conducted by the Bone Study Group of MASCC/ISOO. Of 6249 articles reviewed and from personal communication, 42 ONJ cases related to non-antiresorptives were identified. No gender predilection was noted. Median age was 60 years and ONJ stage 2 wa…

There is evidence suggesting that cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) may be associated with a lower relapse incidence in acu...

Antineoplastic dosing in overweight and obese cancer patients: an Associazione Italiana Oncologia Medica (AIOM)/Associazione Medici Diabetologi (AMD)…
2021
Most anticancer molecules are administered in body-size-based dosing schedules, bringing up unsolved issues regarding pharmacokinetic data in heavy patients. The worldwide spread of obesity has not been matched by improved methods and strategies for tailored drug dosage in this population. The weight or body surface area (BSA)-based approaches may fail to fully reflect the complexity of the anthropometric features besides obesity in cancer patients suffering from sarcopenia. Likewise, there is a lack of pharmacokinetic data on obese patients for the majority of chemotherapeutic agents as well as for new target drugs and immunotherapy. Therefore, although the available findings point to the …
