Metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) is notoriously aggressive with a poor prognosis. It is often diagnosed late, and by this time, surgery is usually not an option. Median overall survival without treatment is just a few months but with systemic chemotherapy this can be improved. This video includes the highlights from a video podcast where medical oncologists Prof Shubham Pant and Prof Efrat Dotan discuss how to choose and optimise the different chemotherapeutic options at first and second line. Key clinical takeaways: mPDAC is notoriously aggressive with a poor prognosis. Patients are generally diagnosed with advanced-stage disease and require treatment with chemotherapy as soon as possible Frontline regimens should be individualised based on performance status, comorbidities, and risk of neuropathy; FOLFIRINOX, NALIRIFOX, and gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel all offer survival benefit with distinct toxicity profiles Choice of 2nd line treatment should be guided by prior regimen and patient fitness Dose modification and alternative scheduling are standard in real-world practice and are used to maintain dose intensity while improving tolerability and reducing adverse events You can also watch a video of the experts in conversation and download the accompanying transcript on our website: https://cor2ed.com/gi-connect/programmes/tackling-mpdac/?media=0 Or watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8YxRnjOYUv4 Follow us on social media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/giconnect X: https://x.com/giconnectInfo This content is intended for healthcare professionals only.

This podcast explores the best practices in molecular testing and targeted therapy for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. Dr Rena Callahan and Dr Roberto Salgado discuss key biomarkers, testing methods, and clinical decision-making, offering expert insights on how to optimise precision medicine. Topics include liquid vs. tumour biopsy, single gene vs. broad panel testing, and regional differences in testing practices. Tune in for a practical, expert-led discussion on how molecular testing can guide personalised treatment and improve patient outcomes. Key clinical takeaways: Molecular testing, especially for biomarkers like ESR1 and PI3 kinase, is a critical component in guiding treatment decisions, particularly in second-line therapy for HR+ HER2- metastatic breast cancer. Liquid biopsy is a valuable tool for ongoing monitoring of metastasis and detecting mutations like ESR1 during disease progression, but tissue biopsies may yield more reliable results for certain mutations like PI3 kinase alterations present early in cancer development. Testing for a broad range of mutations, such as PI3 kinase, AKT, PTEN, ESR1, MSI, and NTRK, allows for the identification of actionable mutations and eligibility for newer targeted therapies, especially in second and third-line treatments. Clinicians must be familiar with the specifics of the assays used to test for mutations, as different methods and testing conditions can impact results.

Intermediate HCC – The evolving role of IO In this final episode of the four-part series on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hosted by the Oncology Brothers Drs Rohit and Rahul Gosain, the discussion focuses on the evolving role of immunotherapy (IO) in intermediate HCC. The episode explores multimodal approaches that combine IO and IO-based therapies with loco-regional treatments and highlights the essential role of a multidisciplinary care team. Joined by Drs Nina Sanford (radiation oncologist), Mark Yarchoan (medical oncologist) and Ed Kim (interventional radiologist), the experts provide a brief overview of current treatment options for intermediate HCC, addressing its heterogeneity and standard treatment pathways. They delve into the latest clinical trial data (EMERALD-1, LEAP-012) on combining IO with loco-regional therapies, discussing clinical implications. The conversation also underscores the importance of effective collaboration within the multidisciplinary team for delivering optimal patient care. The episode concludes with future perspectives in the field and key clinical takeaways on integrating IO with loco-regional therapy and the significance of multidisciplinary care in managing HCC.
