Challenging ageism in gynaecological cancers
Recent research indicates that older age remains a barrier to accessing optimal treatment, despite a growing number of patients over 70 with ovarian and endometrial tumours
Data show that mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx improves outcomes regardless of HRD status
Final analyses of the PICCOLO trial confirm the efficacy of the antibody–drug conjugate in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer
Atezolizumab added to chemotherapy and bevacizumab is effective regardless of PD-L1 status in untreated recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer
An analysis of the BEATcc trial showed that PD-L1 is not a robust biomarker for response to treatment
Relacorilant added to nab-paclitaxel prolongs progression-free survival in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
The ROSELLA trial highlights the efficacy and tolerability of the combination even in patients with a poorer prognosis
An analysis reveals distinct patterns of expression of antibody–drug conjugate targets in high-grade serous ovarian cancer
A small Japanese study provides useful insights on determining the role of these agents in cancer care, but studies in larger, more diverse populations are needed
Talazoparib plus axitinib show some signs of efficacy in heavily pretreated cancers
Early-phase findings report manageable toxicity when combining the PARP inhibitor with the anti-angiogenesis inhibitor in two cohorts of patients with ovarian and castration-resistant prostate tumours
Clinical benefits shown with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy regardless bevacizumab use in advanced or recurrent cervical cancer
Findings are from an exploratory subgroup analysis of the KEYNOTE-826
Three new Pan-Asian-adapted guidelines at ESMO Asia Congress
The latest tumour types covered in the ESMO PAGAs are biliary tract cancers, oncogene-addicted metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer
Pembrolizumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy extends survival in locally advanced cervical cancer
New study findings support this treatment strategy as a new standard of care for patients with high-risk, locally advanced cervical cancer
Five-year PFS results show advantage for niraparib maintenance in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, with no OS benefit
Patients with homologous-recombination-deficient advanced ovarian cancer alive at 5 years were twice as likely to be progression free with niraparib than placebo, although no long-term overall survival benefit was reported
