Dr Sanjiv Agarwala argues that much of the biomarker data in melanoma presented at ASCO 2018 are around the value of PD-L1 testing; however, even PD-L1–negative melanoma patients seem to respond to anti–PD-1 therapy, although some studies suggest PD-L1–negative patients may be better candidates for combination immunotherapy.

Dr David Spigel considers how patient-reported outcomes, as well as palliative and supportive care, are revolutionizing cancer care so that consideration is being given to treating the patient, not just the cancer. View Video ›

Dr David Spigel discusses the 2 major themes highlighted at ASCO 2018: the use of cancer biomarkers to achieve precision therapy, and fine tuning treatment of patients with immunotherapy with respect to who to treat, how to treat, and how to predict clinical outcomes. View Video ›

Dr Thomas Bachelot is careful to set reasonable expectations for his patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer regarding how long their treatment will last and how it will impact them. View Video ›
