Heinz-Josef Lenz, MD, FACP, discusses the advances in immunotherapy for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Shaji Kumar, MD, discusses the shift in the treatment landscape for patients with multiple myeloma, and how more patients are eligible for stem cell transplantation because of new criteria.

Leonard G. Gomella, MD, discusses the factors that determine which patients with prostate cancer should undergo genetic testing.

Basem William, MD, discusses challenges in treating patients with cutaneous and peripheral T-cell lymphomas, as well as the challenges in conducting clinical trials in this patient population.

David Maloney, MD, PhD, medical director, Cellular Immunotherapy Integrated Research Center, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, discusses the results of the ZUMA trial and how chimeric antigen receptor CAR T-cell therapy is changing the treatment landscape for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Laura Quan Man Chow, MD, FRCPC, discusses the rationale for evaluating ceritinib in patients with&nbsp;<em>ALK</em>-positive non&ndash;small cell lung cancer in the ASCEND-7 trial.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Daniel Catenacci, MD, discusses how he makes decisions with immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of patients with gastroesophageal junction cancer. He says he bases his sequencing decisions on a number of factors.

Hope S. Rugo, MD, discusses the potential role of immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), based on data from the KEYNOTE-522 clinical trial. Immunotherapy has been very exciting in this setting.

Winston Tan, MD, discusses the current treatment landscape for patients with thyroid cancer. He highlighted the importance of first determining if a patient with thyroid cancer has benign or malignant thyroid nodules, which can be identified with the use of diagnostic biopsies. He also discussed the standard-of-care treatment options for these different subtypes of patients once they are identified.

Simon Rule, MD, PhD, shares his thoughts on the&nbsp;FDA&rsquo;s decision to grant zanubrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, priority review for the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Should the drug be approved, it will be available for patients with MCL who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy.

Scott Kopetz, MD, PhD, explains how prognoses for patients with colorectal cancer differ based on whether their cancer is left-sided or right-sided and discusses how knowledge of these differences have led to the development of more agents to treat both groups of patients.

Lecia V. Sequist, MD, MPH, director, says that oncologists have developed a better understanding of what causes resistance to EGFR inhibitors in patients with non&ndash;small cell lung cancer through preclinical studies and biopsies. <em>MET</em> amplification was found to be one of the major causes of resistance to newer generation EGFR-targeted drugs.

John DiPersio, MD, PhD, discusses targeted therapies for myeloid malignancies using DARTs, Bites, and antibody&ndash;drug conjugates, a topic he presented during the 2019 Society for Hematologic Oncology Annual Meeting.

A 59-Year-Old Man With Relapsed Follicular Lymphoma

Pamela L. Kunz, MD, discusses the most recent FDA approval of Lutathera (lutetium [Lu 177] dotatate) for the treatment of patients with gastroenteropancreatic NETs (GEP-NETs), including foregut, midgut, and hindgut tumors.

Madappa Kundranda, MD, PhD, discusses the frontline therapeutic options for patients with newly diagnosed hepatocellular carcinoma who are not candidates for surgery or transplant.

Arash Rezazadeh Kalebasty, MD, a hematologist/oncologist and research program director, Urologic Oncology, Norton Cancer Institute, discusses the safety profile of cabazitaxel in the CARD trial, which randomized patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer to cabazitaxel or one of 2 antiandrogen receptor agents, abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide.

Daniel P. Petrylak, MD, discusses the efficacy results from the CARD trial, which evaluated the radiographic progression-free survival of cabazitaxel combined with either abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.<br /> &nbsp;

Daniel J. George, MD, says that clinicians who treat prostate cancer have devoted the past 70 years to hormone therapy and androgen deprivation therapy, particularly for patients with metastatic disease. However, the emergence of agents like docetaxel, abiraterone acetate, and androgen receptor antagonists, like apalutamide and enzalutamide, have changed the landscape.<br /> &nbsp;
