Immunotherapy plus Chemotherapy for Patients with EGFR-Mutated Non-Squamous Cell Lung Cancer for Disease Progression after EGFR Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibitor: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Introduction: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations face poor outcomes after progression on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with chemotherapy in these patients remains uncertain.

Methods: We searched for studies published between randomized controlled trials of ICIs in combination therapies in advanced NSCLC patients post-EGFR TKI progression.

Correlation Between Oncotype Dx Recurrence Score and PREDICT Estimates in Early Breast Cancer: A Single Institution Experience.

Purpose: Oncotype Dx Recurrence Score (RS) is prognostic and predictive of chemotherapy benefit in women with node-negative and node-positive in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) early breast cancer. Nevertheless, its direct cost may be inhibitive. This study assesses the correlation between the RS and the free online PREDICT tools' estimations of adjuvant chemotherapy benefit.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors as maintenance treatment in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPIs) improved progression-free survival among patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of PARPIs as maintenance strategy for newly diagnosed patients with advanced high-grade ovarian cancer with or without mutations. Using defined selection criteria, a literature search identified four eligible randomized clinical trials involving 2386 patients.

Extended adjuvant endocrine therapy in early breast cancer: a meta-analysis of published randomized trials.

Adjuvant endocrine therapy for 5 years is the standard adjuvant treatment for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer while the benefits of extended adjuvant endocrine therapy (EAET) beyond 5 years are still controversial. That controversy prompted this meta-analysis to compare 5 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy only versus EAET. Eligible 11 randomized, controlled trials comprising 29,000 women were included.
