#mCRC & #EGFR tx:
✅Anti-EGFR useful in RAS/RAF WT; debate re: timing vs anti-VEGF
✅Pt centered discussion including SEs 🗝️
✅Emerging data: EGFR re-tx, using ctDNA to guide
@shafiarahman_ 's approach: pt eligible for EGFR-directed tx in #metastatic#CRC
🔹RAS/RAF WT- more important than side
🔹Bev or pan 1L? Trend toward pan, but is 🗝️actually that pt gets anti-EGFR in tx, 🚫necessarily 1L?
@shafiarahman_ gives us a preview of what might be coming in #EGFR directed tx in #mCRC
🔹Re-challenge based on ctDNA clearance of resistant clones; pts w resistance to EGFRi benefit later as the tumor evolves again
🔹New combos!
Patient centered discussions are essential to choosing a 1L strategy in RAS/RAF WT (or in any case!). Need to consider:
🔹Potential benefit to EGFR mAb- upfront vs later
🔹Different tox (acneiform rash)
💸Increased cost
🤔Will ctDNA be tool for rational EGFR tx re-treatment?
➡️Join us on 03/28/23 when @tompowles1@drfrankiejs present a case of 1L tx choosing between pembro regimen & nivo + cabo regimen!
UK leads staying up to join us. 8pm ET/12 am UK time!
Take🏠msgs:
✅ Pembro ONLY approved adj IO in RCC
✅ 3 recent trials w IO failure: nivo/ipi, atezo & periop nivo
✅ Must balance risks vs benefits- shared decision-making 🗝️
🎥 TBT in a video
High risk #RCC, pembro= DFS advantage, but w cost- Grade 3 AEs= 32%. High risk #RCC defined by:
🔹Stage II w sarcomatoid features
🔹Stage III+
🔹Regional LN+/M1 disease
Take🏠msg:
✅ctDNA= both tx decision making & MRD in #NSCLC
✅Identify actionable muts in dz where a bx not possible
✅Pros (serum test) & cons ($, inability to multiplex with IHC- aka PD-L1 status)
🎥 TBT in a video
ctDNA + tissue-based NGS= highest sensitivity (do NOT miss actionable mutations in #NSCLC).
ctDNA can be used to:
🔹Identify actionable mutations
🔹Track disease status (MRD)
🔹Adapt targeted therapies based on 2dary muts
Also have to understand caveats!
1⃣ctDNA works best in higher volume dz.
2⃣Know when to suspect germline mut (variant allele fractions near 50%)
3⃣Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential muts that could mislead!
✅CDK4/6i +endocrine tx= 1L HR+ mBC
✅Ribo =⬆️OS; select based on shared decision
✅After prog on CDK4/6i, eval muts (ESR1, PIK3CA)➡️SERD vs PIK3CAi
✅Benefit in adj- monarchE
IO has fundamentally changed 🫁 cancer tx.
Choosing the right strategy in squamous cell lung ca largely based on PD-L1 status; we’re hoping for more, & better, biomarkers in the future.
Check out this algo to help select IO vs chemoIO strat in #squamouscell#lcsm lung cancer 1L setting.
No head-to-head 👊data to define clear winner, but pembro, cemiplimab, and ipi/nivo approved based on OS benefit.

Pembro= 1L option for pts not eligible for plat tx.
☑️4 cycles plat doublet AS GOOD as 6 in plat eligible
💔ICI myocarditis is rare, but serious- we discuss tx
Quick video summary covering major pts in just over 2 mins!
T-DXd is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), tethering deruxtecan payload to HER2 ab. Improvements over chemo in mOS and PFS, but watch carefully for ILD and all toxicities!
Check out quick proposed tx algorithm for HR+ & HR- HER2 low disease. Since HER2 low is defined as 1+ through 2+ on IHC with - FISH, up to ‼️60%‼️ of cases previously called HER2 NEGATIVE are actually HER2 LOW!
