Drug Combination Slows Growth of Most Common Type of Advanced Breast Cancer

The combination of taselisib and fulvestrant has shown to slow the growth of cancer in post-menopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative, PIK3CA-mutant, inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) presented this data, from the SANDPIPER trial, in a press conference at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. This combination of a mutant-selective PI3K inhibitor and a selective estrogen receptor degrader halted the growth of advanced breast cancer for two months longer than hormone therapy alone and decreased the chance of cancer worsening by 30 percent.

Genomic Markers Can Predict the Presence of Lynch Syndrome across a Broad Spectrum of Cancers

Microsatellite instability (MSI) and DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiencies can predict Lynch syndrome (LS) across tumor types, according to researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), who presented this retrospective data analysis in a press conference at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. This finding suggests that LS is linked to more types of cancer than previously thought, prompting a call for germline testing for LS in all individuals with MSI-high (MSI-H)/mismatch repair deficient (MMR-D) tumors.

While both acupuncture and CBT-I resulted in clinically meaningful and durable effects among this group, CBT-I was more effective, especially among people with mild insomnia symptoms.
