Introduction: Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), an antibody-drug conjugate, targets tumor cells overexpressing human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). This single-arm, phase IV study assessed the safety and efficacy of T-DM1 in Indian patients with HER2-positive, locally advanced, or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with trastuzumab and a taxane.

Methods: Patients received T-DM1 (3.

Adem Crosby Cancer Centre, Department of Medical Oncology, Division of Cancer Care Services, Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Birtinya, Queensland, Australia.

Background: The three main chemotherapy regimens for people with unresectable pancreatic cancer include modified FOLFIRINOX (comprising oxaliplatin, irinotecan and fluorouracil, denoted mFFX), gemcitabine with nab-paclitaxel (GnP), and single-agent gemcitabine (GEM). We explored characteristics associated with the type of chemotherapy and variations in survival.

Materials And Methods: Records for people with unresected pancreatic adenocarcinoma between 2018 and 2022 treated with first-line mFFX, GnP or GEM were extracted from the population-based Queensland Oncology Repository.

There are no proven therapies for metastatic or unresectable Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma (ChRCC). ChRCC is characterized by high glutathione levels and hypersensitivity to ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death characterized by peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The underlying mechanisms leading to ferroptosis hypersensitivity are unknown.
