The treatment of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) has seen remarkable breakthroughs over the last few years. Diagnostic and therapeutic advances have given rise to debates about risk stratification and optimal first-line treatment selection, as well as to concerns about potential overtreatment in a disease state with a highly heterogeneous clinical behavior. Here, we use case reports from our practice to review the clinical trials exploring intensified triplet regimens combining androgen deprivation therapy with second-generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitors and docetaxel, and we offer our recommendations on how to best select candidates for these novel combinations.

Purpose: Taxanes can cause hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs), which pose a significant challenge in the treatment of malignancies. Patients who are eligible for rapid drug desensitization (RDD) can continue treatment; however, some patients experience breakthrough reactions (BTRs). Data about risk factors for BTRs during RDDs in patients with HSRs to taxanes are limited.

Purpose: This study aims to revolutionize the treatment of aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), notorious for its resistance to standard therapies. By ingeniously combining Tamoxifen (TMX) and Docetaxel (DTX) within a lipid-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticle (LP-MSN) delivery system, we intend to enhance therapeutic efficacy while circumventing DTX resistance mediated by CYP3A4 expression.
Methods: We rigorously tested TNBC cell lines to confirm the responsiveness to Docetaxel (DTX) and Tamoxifen (TMX).

Aim: To present the characteristics of drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) among taxane recipients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and to describe the results of rapid drug desensitization (RDD).
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study included 45 patients who were treated with taxane for NSCLC and were found to be hypersensitive to taxane. All patients were administered the standard 3-bag, 12-step RDD protocol following the development of DHR.
