Case Scenario 1:
This is a post-menopausal 58-year-old female in whom a mass was discovered in her right breast during her annual mammography.
Her gynecologist referred her to a breast surgeon; results of her biopsy revealed 3 cm ductal carcinoma
Pathology shows: ER & PR–, HER2 IHC 3+
Clinical staging; T2aN1M0
Her surgeon discussed the patient’s case at the Breast Tumor Board and it was suggested that the patient be referred to a medical oncologist for consideration of HER2-targeted neoadjuvant therapy.
The surgeon shared his opinion with the patient who agreed to go to the medical oncologist to discuss her options.
Liver transplant led to durable survival in unresectable NET liver metastases; tumor burden predicted outcomes, and recurrence was common but treatable.
Mark A. Lewis, MD, explains how oral cabozantinib reduces time toxicity for patients with previously treated, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors.
In a phase 1 trial, a single intratumoral injection of oncolytic virus SVV-001 with ipilimumab and nivolumab was safe in high-grade neuroendocrine cancers.
