Panelists discuss how in polycythemia vera (PV), effective management involves a dual focus on thrombosis prevention with aspirin, phlebotomy, and cytoreductive therapy, alongside strategies for managing symptoms like fatigue, pruritus, and splenomegaly, while regular assessments of quality of life and psychosocial support are essential for enhancing patient well-being.

Panelists discuss how specialists balance controlling chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) symptoms while minimizing steroid exposure when patients fail initial therapy.

Roger Li, MD, discusses the MoonRISe-1 study evaluating TAR-210 in FGFR-altered intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Praneeth Reddy Sudalagunta, PhD, discusses a novel generative artificial intelligence pipeline developed to help with the understanding and treatment of multiple myeloma.

David Craig, PhD, discusses how AI is transforming cancer histopathology.

Mack Roach III, MD, discusses concerns about how tariffs and restrictions on international collaboration could negatively affect cancer research and treatment.

Nini Wu, MD, MBA, discusses the future of technology in community oncology, particularly highlighting the pervasive topic of artificial intelligence.

A panelist discusses how axatilimab, a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting CSF-1 receptors on monocytes and macrophages, showed promising results in the AGAVE-201 trial for treatment-resistant chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD), with high response rates, durable responses, and tolerable adverse effects at the FDA-approved dose of 0.3 mg/kg every 2 weeks.

A panelist discusses how chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) is a common posttransplant complication with increasing incidence due to peripheral blood stem cell grafts, older patients, and more unrelated donor transplants, which can manifest in multiple organs and is typically treated with corticosteroids as first-line therapy.

Pedro C. Barata, MD, MSc, discusses options for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in the community setting.

Christopher Schenewerk, MD, addresses the taboo topic of how to help health care professionals struggling with addiction.

Ariel Lopez-Chavez, MD, discusses the role of comprehensive genomic profiling in small cell lung cancer management.

Ciara Freeman, MD, PhD, discusses the challenges of incorporating anito-cel into the treatment protocol for patients with multiple myeloma.

Panelists discuss how managing advanced polycythemia vera requires tailored approaches beyond hydroxyurea when patients show resistance (persistent hematocrit >45%, elevated white blood cell counts, ongoing symptoms), with experts advocating for either second-line ruxolitinib for rapid symptom and hematologic control or interferons (particularly in younger patients), while emphasizing the importance of addressing modifiable cardiovascular risk factors like smoking cessation.

A panelist discusses how first-line treatment options for neuroendocrine tumors depend on tumor grade, disease extent, and symptoms, ranging from observation for asymptomatic cases to somatostatin analogues, chemotherapy, and the newly approved cabozantinib.

Panelists discuss how polycythemia vera treatment follows a risk-stratified approach, with all patients receiving daily aspirin and phlebotomies to maintain hematocrit below 45%, while high-risk patients (aged >60 years or history of thromboembolism) additionally require cytoreductive therapy with options including hydroxyurea, pegylated interferon alfa-2a, ropeginterferon alfa-2b, or second-line ruxolitinib, with treatment modifications based on response, tolerance, and disease progression.

A panelist discusses how neuroendocrine tumors are defined by World Health Organization (WHO) classification, graded based on Ki-67 proliferative index, diagnosed through imaging (often incidentally), and most commonly found in the small bowel, lungs, and pancreas.

Douglas A. Tremblay, MD, discusses the importance of quality-of-life data from treating patients with polycythemia vera with ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft.

Ciara Freeman, MD, PhD, discusses anito-cel's unique functions and benefits for treating multiple myeloma.

Nini Wu, MD, MBA, discusses how community oncology practices can leverage technology to maximize efficiency and reduce administrative burdens.

Madhur Nayan, MD, PhD, discusses a new machine learning model developed to enhance prostate cancer screening.

Panelists discuss how important end points for evaluating new myelofibrosis therapies include overall survival, symptom improvement, splenic volume reduction, hematologic parameters, disease modification, safety, and patient-reported outcomes, all of which help assess the impact of treatment on both clinical outcomes and quality of life.

Panelists discuss how investigational therapies beyond Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition, including epigenetic modulation, telomerase inhibition, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibition, immune modulation, TGF-β inhibition, and novel anti-fibrotic agents, are showing promise in improving efficacy and targeting different disease pathways in myelofibrosis.

Dong Chen, MD, PhD, discusses the obstacles and opportunities for growth in posttreatment cancer detection.

Dong Chen, MD, PhD, discusses the most recent advancements in posttreatment cancer detection.

Jack Khouri, MD, discusses data from a multicenter study of teclistamab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who had prior exposure to BCMA-directed therapy.

Panelists discuss how steroid dosing for chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD) typically starts at 0.5-1 mg/kg/day depending on severity, with careful tapering to avoid flares.

Panelists discuss how in polycythemia vera (PV), defining and managing treatment resistance or intolerance is crucial, requiring careful monitoring and timely intervention, including assessing adherence, evaluating mutations, and making therapeutic adjustments such as dose modifications, switching to alternative therapies like ruxolitinib or interferon, and employing a multidisciplinary approach to ensure optimal disease control and patient outcomes.
