Multidisciplinarity and medical decision, impact for patients with cancer: sociological assessment of two tumour committees organization

The present study reports more than 30% of changes concerning strategy for patient with cancer due to multidisciplinary discussions. This indicates that, providing tumour committees are adapted to the pathologies' characteristics, they can promote a collective and multidisciplinary approach to oncology

Eribulin Efficacy on Brain Metastases in Heavily Pretreated Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer

International audienceThe onset of brain metastases (BM) is a major turning point during advanced breast cancer (ABC) evolution, with only few treatment options when local therapies have failed. The therapeutic effect of eribulin, a wildly used drug in the treatment of ABC, remains unclear in this setting. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study to assess eribulin efficacy in patients with ABC who displayed BM at time of eribulin initiation. We collected data from the medical files of all ABC patients who received eribulin at our institution from 2012 until 2020. Our main endpoint was the central nervous system (CNS) progression-free survival. (CNS-PFS). Other evaluation criteria were extra-cranial progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: Twenty patients with BM monitoring data available were selected out of the 549 who received eribulin during the inclusion period. Fifteen patients (75%) had BM progressive as the best response, three patients (15%) had disease stabilization for more than 6 months and only one patient had a partial response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Median CNS-PFS was 3.39 months (95CI (3.02–3.76)). Cox univariate analysis identified molecular subtype as the only prognostic parameter in our cohort, with patients with hormone-receptor positive tumors less likely to experience CNS progression than those with triple-negative MBC (HR = 0.23 (95CI = 0.07–0.80), p = 0.021). Median extra-cranial PFS was 2.67 months (95CI (2.33–3.01)). Median OS was 7.68 months (95CI (0–17.41)). Conclusion: Eribulin seems to have only a limited impact on BM evolution. Hormone receptors expression may identify a subset of patients with better BM control

Octogenarians with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer treated by tyrosine-kinase inhibitor a multicentric real-world study assessing tolerance and efficacy (OCTOMUT study)

International audienceObjective. To assess efficacy and tolerance of EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in octogenarians.Patients and methods. Patients aged 80 years or older with EGFR-mutated NSCLC treated by EGFR TKI between January 2011 and March 2015 whatever the line of treatment were retrospectively selected.Results. 20 centers retrospectively included 114 patients (women, 77.2%; Caucasians, 98.3%; mean age, 83.9 years). A performance status of 0–1 or 2–3 at diagnosis was reported for 71.6% and 28.4% of patients, respectively. Overall, 95.6% of patients had adenocarcinomas and histological stage at diagnosis was stage IV for 79.8% of patients. EGFR mutations were identified mainly on exon 19 (46.5%) and exon 21 (40.4%). A geriatric assessment was performed in 35.1% of patients. TKI treatment was administered to 97.3% of patients as first or second line of treatment. Overall response rate and disease control rate were 63.3% (69/109) and 78.9% (86/109), respectively. Median progression-free survival was 11.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.6–14.7) and median overall survival was 20.9 months (95% CI, 14.3–27.1). After progression, 36/95 (37.9%) patients received a new line of chemotherapy. Main toxicities were cutaneous for 66.7% of patients (grade 3–4, 10%), diarrhea for 56.0% (grade 3–4, 15%; grade 5, 2%) and others for 25.7% (grade 3–4, 41%).Conclusions. Octogenarians with EGFR-mutated NSCLC treated by EGFR TKI had clinical outcomes and toxicity profile comparable to younger patients. Geriatric assessment appeared to be underused in this population

Nivolumab in routine practice for older patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

Background: Nivolumab is approved worldwide as second-line treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite the fact that most of these cancers are being diagnosed in the older patients, few of the patients were included in pivotal trials. We aimed to describe efficacy and safety in a ``real-world'' older population. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively collected data from older patients (>= 70 years old) with advanced or metastatic NSCLC treated with Nivolumab in our institution. We analyzed safety (CTCAE v4.0 criteria), efficacy (clinical benefit rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival), and correlated these features to geriatric parameters and PD-L1 expression. Along with this cohort, we assessed safety at a national level by retrieving all cases of Nivolumab (prescribed for NSCLC) induced adverse events analyzed by the French pharmacovigilance network during the inclusion period. Results: From July 2015 to September 2016, 30 patients were enrolled with a median age of 752. Clinical benefit rate was 30.6%. Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 33 and 7.1 months, respectively. Fifteen patients (50%) presented an immune-related adverse event (IrAE) of any grade, including four high grade IrAEs. Two hundred and eighty IrAEs had been notified to the French pharmacovigilance network including 91 (35.2%) concerning older patients. Frequency and pattern of IrAEs were similar for older patients and younger subjects. Conclusions: Even though frequency and patterns of IrAEs are different from pivotal studies, these results don't seem specific to older patients. Further prospective investigations are needed to better characterize and predict the impact of Nivolumab on older patients with NSCLC. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
