COR2ED - Oncology Medical Conversation episodes:

May 19, 2025Tackling mPDAC: chemotherapy strategies that matter
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

March 31, 2025ER+ metastatic breast cancer: Key insights on elacestrant from the latest EMERALD subgroup analyses
In this podcast, Dr Aditya Bardia and Dr Virginia Kaklamani share their insights on the recent publication of the subgroup analyses from the phase 3 EMERALD trial by prior duration of endocrine therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibitor and in clinical subgroups.
Key topics include
Identifying tumors that remain endocrine-sensitive despite acquired resistance to previous ET
Clinical implications of the EMERALD subgroup analyses
Review of elacestrant's safety profile

Clinical takeaways
Duration of prior ET + CDK4/6i ≥12 months was associated with a clinically meaningful improvement in PFS for elacestrant compared with SOC endocrine monotherapy in patients with ESR1-mut, ER+/HER2– metastatic breast cancer
The PFS benefit associated with elacestrant was consistent across clinically relevant subgroups evaluated, including patients with bone metastases, liver and/or lung metastases, n<3 or ≥3 metastatic sites or tumors with PIK3CA-mut, TP53-mut, HER2-low tumor expression, or ESR1-mut variants D538G or Y537S/N
Safety analyses demonstrated that elacestrant had a manageable safety profile similar to other ETs and without evidence of the toxicities associated with other drug classes, such as CDK4/6i and PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors
These data support current guidelines that recommend routine testing for the emergence of ESR1-mut in ctDNA at each disease progression

March 21, 2025Best practices in molecular testing and targeted therapy for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer
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.

January 20, 2025Intermediate HCC – The evolving role of IO
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.
Key clinical takeaways:
IO and IO-based treatments are moving earlier in the treatment paradigm for patients with intermediate HCC. Earlier integration of these therapies aims to achieve improved systemic control, allowing loco-regional therapy to target oligoprogression, residual lesions or reduce tumour burden
Emerging data supports combining systemic and loco-regional therapies for patients with intermediate HCC. EMERALD-1 and LEAP-012 show promising PFS data using IO-based combination regimens like durvalumab + bevacizumab or pembrolizumab + lenvatinib alongside TACE. Long-term OS data are awaited
Effective communication and coordinated care among specialists, such as medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, hepatologists, and interventional radiologists, are essential to developing optimal treatment strategies for patients with intermediate HCC

January 07, 2025Intermediate HCC – treatment options and strategies
In the third of this 4-part podcast series on HCC, the Oncology Brothers Dr Rahul and Dr Rohit Gosain are joined by Hepatologist Dr Maria Reig and Interventional Radiologist Dr Emil Cohen to explore the complexities of managing intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Together, they unpack treatment options and strategies through a dynamic and engaging discussion rooted in real-world clinical practice.
Key topics include:
An overview of the available treatment options for this heterogeneous patient population with intermediate HCC
A deep dive into loco-regional therapies, including TACE, TARE (Y-90), and SBRT
Exploring the role of systemic treatments in patients with intermediate HCC and the use of multimodal treatment approaches, combining loco-regional treatment options with systemic treatments
The importance of the multidisciplinary care team for the treatment of intermediate HCC

Key clinical takeaways:
Defined by guidelines, treatment options for patients with intermediate HCC include liver transplantation, loco-regional therapies, and systemic therapy. Treatment selection depends not only on tumour burden and liver function, but also on practical considerations in clinical practice
Systemic therapies are being evaluated earlier in the disease course, particularly for intermediate HCC, either as standalone treatments or in combination with loco-regional therapies
Ongoing clinical trials, such as REPLACE and ABC-HCC, aim to clarify the role of systemic therapies in intermediate HCC as standalone options, while others, like EMERALD-1 and LEAP-012, focus on their use in combination with loco-regional approaches
Adverse events require identification of the specific adverse events profile. Regardless of origin (systemic or loco-regional), complications must be resolved to maintain treatment efficacy and ensure patient safety
Optimal care for intermediate HCC relies on a multi-disciplinary team, including hepatologists, interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, and medical oncologists

December 03, 2024HCC podcast series part 2: 2nd line treatment in advanced HCC and when to switch
Join the Oncology Brothers, Drs Rahul and Rohit Gosain, as they host an insightful discussion with Dr Lorenza Rimassa and Prof. Arndt Vogel. In the second of a 4-part podcast series, this episode dives into 2nd line treatment selection in advanced HCC and the key considerations for deciding when to switch therapies.

Topics include:
2nd line options for advanced HCC after 1st line TKIs and IO-based therapies
Sequencing strategies and clinical practice approaches
Key data supporting 2nd line decisions
Factors to consider when transitioning to 2nd line therapy

Key clinical takeaways:
Prospective Phase 3 data on 2nd line options in advanced HCC, particularly after immunotherapy, is limited, highlighting the need for further evidence to guide optimal treatment decisions
When switching to 2nd line therapy, it is essential to evaluate all the available treatment options to ensure the optimal choice for each patient, considering efficacy, tolerability, liver function, and quality of life.
Switching to 2nd line therapy should be considered in cases of clear disease progression, such as the appearance of new lesions outside the liver. Best supportive care should also be considered
Managing side effects of 2nd line treatments (e.g. hypertension, skin toxicity, proteinuria) is critical for maintaining quality of life and providing optimal disease management
Effective management requires a multidisciplinary team effort, including oncologists, hepatologists, interventional radiologists, and other specialists to optimise outcomes and proactively manage symptoms like hepatic decompensation
