Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer diagnosis among men worldwide, with poor prognosis in its advanced stage. Treatment strategies have evolved, including the use of androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis).

Areas Covered: This review evaluates the clinical efficacy, safety, and future potential of combining talazoparib, a potent PARPi, with enzalutamide, a strong androgen receptor (AR) antagonist.

The management of advanced endometrial cancer (EC) has changed in the last few years due to the introduction of a new molecular classification and the approval of immunotherapy. For a long time, carboplatin plus paclitaxel was considered the standard treatment for first-line advanced EC, since the approval of the combination of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. For patients with recurrent EC, with previous platinum-based chemotherapy, single-agent immunotherapy or in combination with tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) has been approved according to mismatch repair status.

Article Synopsis
  • * Local treatment options like stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) may help control oligoprogressive disease without modifying systemic treatments, but evidence, mostly from retrospective studies, is limited.
  • * The CURB trial indicated no survival benefit for local treatment in breast cancer patients; however, local treatment is still used to delay more toxic systemic therapies, warranting further exploration of who may benefit and potential risks involved.

Introduction: The therapeutic scenario of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) has dramatically changed in recent years, with the approval of new-generation Androgen Receptor Signaling Inhibitors (ARSIs), in combination with the androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which was the previous standard of care. Despite showing a similar clinical efficacy, ARSIs, all of which are administered orally, are different in terms of pharmacokinetic and drug-drug interactions (DDIs).

Areas Covered: This review covers the main pharmacokinetic characteristics of ARSIs that have been approved for the first-line therapy of mHSPC patients, underlying the differences among these molecules and focusing on the known or possible interactions with other drugs.

Digital technologies enable the accurate replication of occlusion, which is pivotal for stability in maximum intercuspation and dynamic occlusion. CAD softwares generates standardized occlusal morphologies requiring significant adjustments. The consideration of individual mandibular movements during restoration leads to better functional integration.
