Background And Aims: With great progress made in individualized chemotherapy, pharmacogenetics is gradually put on the agenda. We performed this meta-analysis to compare outcome to platinum-based chemotherapies in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with different ERCC1 C118T/C8092A and MDR1 C3435T polymorphisms.

Methods: Relevant studies were identified according to search strategy in this meta-analysis. Inclusion criteria were patients with advanced NSCLC who were receiving platinum-based chemotherapies. We evaluated the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and outcome of platinum-based chemotherapies. RevMan and STATA package were used for the comprehensive quantitative analyses.

Results: Twenty studies were included in the meta-analysis. There was no significant association between SNPs and objective response or overall survival of platinum-based chemotherapies with CC vs. CT/TT: ERCC1 C118T (OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.81-1.82 for objective response; HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.79-1.51 for overall survival); ERCC1 C8092A SNP (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.59-1.18; HR 1.26, 95% CI 0.68-2.36) and MDR1 C3435T SNP (HR 1.11, 95% CI 0.78-1.56). Ethnic stratification provided the same results. We found a significant difference for MDR1 C3435T (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.46-3.37; OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.56-4.45 for Asians; OR 1.61, 95% CI 0.79-3.28 for Caucasians).

Conclusions: We found no evidence to support the use of ERCC1 C118T/C8092A polymorphisms as prognostic predictors of platinum-based chemotherapies in NSCLC. For the MDR1 C3435T SNP, a significant association with objective response was detected for CC genotype in overall and Asian populations stratified. Multiple and large-scale studies with ethnic stratification are required for the correlation between biomarkers and tumor prognosis.

PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have shown efficacy in tumours harbouring mutations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes. Somatic HRR mutations have been described in patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), but PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are not yet a therapeutic option. Here we assessed the homologous recombination status of early-stage NSCLC and explored the therapeutic benefit of PARPi in preclinical models.

Introduction: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) and combination chemotherapy are independently used to treat relapsed/refractory (R/R) lymphoma. In vitro studies suggest that the addition of HDACi to platinum-based chemotherapy is synergistic.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a phase I study of romidepsin, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin and dexamethasone (Romi-GemOxD) in R/R aggressive lymphomas with an expansion cohort in T-cell lymphomas.

Objective: To evaluate whether supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) may be a viable alternative to radiation therapy (RT) for patients with glottic cT3N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who are surgical candidates for total laryngectomy (TL) and respond well to platinum-based induction chemotherapy.

Methods: Retrospective case series review of 18 consecutive patients with cT3N0M0 glottic SCC, initially considered surgical candidates only for TL who showed a good response to platinum-based induction chemotherapy, managed at a French university teaching institution with either SCPL (n = 9) or RT (n = 9). The main endpoints were 10-year local control and laryngeal preservation.

Real-world Effectiveness of Single-Agent Enfortumab Vedotin in Patients With Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma.

Clin Genitourin Cancer

December 2024

Division of Medical Oncology, Department of Internal Medicine, Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT. Electronic address:

Background: Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is a nectin-4-directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate indicated for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who have received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/L1 inhibitors or are ineligible for cisplatin-containing regimens and have undergone at least 1 prior line of therapy. EV is also indicated in combination with pembrolizumab in the first-line setting. However, real-world effectiveness of EV based on treatment line and impact of prior therapy remains unclear.

Neuroendocrine carcinomas are rare and aggressive malignancies, often diagnosed at advanced stages, leading to poor prognosis. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced neuroendocrine carcinomas; however after achieving response no consensus exists on maintenance therapies and the results are inconsistent. This review examines the role of maintenance therapy following response to first-line chemotherapy in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas.
