Article Synopsis
- Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has shown effectiveness and manageable side effects in patients with advanced gastric and breast cancer, and it's recently approved in Japan.
- A study reviewed the medical records of 36 patients (19 with gastric cancer and 17 with breast cancer) who received T-DXd, focusing on adverse events during the first three treatment cycles.
- Gastrointestinal issues were the most common side effects, with nausea being particularly more prevalent in females, highlighting the importance of managing these toxicities in clinical practice.
Article Synopsis
- * Conducted at the Cancer Institute Hospital in Japan, the study analyzed 45 ovarian cancer patients, revealing that over half experienced ≥Grade 3 hematologic toxicity, primarily neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.
- * A significant finding was that patients with Grade 4 toxicity had higher serum creatinine ratios, suggesting that monitoring these ratios could help predict severe side effects from niraparib treatment.
