In advanced pre-treated endometrial cancer, patient-reported outcomes support efficacy benefits of the combination therapy

What is the state of play for molecular profiling in gynaecological malignancies?
Two studies investigate the value of molecular profiling in the management of ovarian and endometrial cancers

How to improve cervical cancer screening in low- or middle-income countries?
Data presented at the ESMO Gynaecological Cancers Congress 2022 confirm the vital role of national screening programmes and highlight the importance of local access

Managing ovarian cancer in the PARP inhibitor era
The role of PARP inhibitors features in a number of sessions at the ESMO Gynaecological Cancers Congress 2022

Results suggest the efficacy of trastuzumab deruxtecan is influenced by the spatial distribution of HER2 in breast tumour cells
A translational analysis of the DAISY trial improves knowledge on the mechanisms of action of the antibody–drug conjugate

Interim analysis shows that the safety of sacituzumab govitecan is in line with expectations
In the SASCIA trial, sacituzumab govitecan was associated with a higher incidence of adverse events and dose delays than treatment of physician’s choice in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer at high risk of relapse, but dose reductions occurred with a similar frequency in both arms
