Stephen Speicher, MD, and Kate Estep, from Flatiron Health, discuss the future of oncology care with artificial intelligence (AI).

First part of a 2-part interview with Stephen Strickland, MD, MSCI, director of leukemia research for Sarah Cannon Research Institute. Strickland recently presented data from a phase 1 trial of SENTI-202, an investigational chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) natural killer (NK) cell therapy.

Panelists discuss how immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy progression creates escalating economic burdens for patients through direct health care costs, lost productivity, increasing medication needs, and eventually the overwhelming financial impact of dialysis or transplantation.

A panelist discusses how guidelines from organizations like the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) can improve clinician awareness and adoption of molecular testing in community oncology settings while acknowledging that some effective treatments work across patient populations without requiring biomarker stratification.

Panelists discuss how clinical trial outcomes like CROWN and eXalt3 reflect real-world patient experiences and how these collective data have changed perspectives on frontline therapies for ALK+ non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A panelist discusses how tumor heterogeneity (both spatial and temporal) affects molecular testing reliability in ovarian cancer, highlighting that although most biomarkers show little heterogeneity, newer approaches like liquid biopsies can provide a more comprehensive genetic profile of the entire tumor burden.

Panelists discuss how matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAIC) of ALK inhibitors and the FDA approval of ensartinib in December 2024 influence frontline treatment selection for ALK+ non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Panelists discuss how treatment success in immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy extends beyond clinical trial end points to encompass sustained proteinuria reduction, stable kidney function, symptom improvement, and enhanced quality of life metrics that matter to patients in real-world settings.

As National Women’s Health Week approaches, new global data highlighting projected rises in breast and ovarian cancer through 2050 is prompting renewed calls for gender-specific prevention strategies that address evolving health risks for women.

Clinical trials for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis could benefit from improved patient engagement to include diverse perspectives and inclusive practices.

New research links arthritis to an increased risk of prostate cancer, highlighting the need for further studies on prevention and treatment strategies.

Physician groups under 2-sided risk–based Medicare Advantage provide care associated with higher quality and efficiency compared with care by these same groups under fee-for-service Medicare.

Measles cases surge in the US as vaccination rates decline, raising concerns about outbreaks and public health under Robert F. Kennedy Jr's leadership.

FDA approves the first treatment for KRAS-mutated recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC), offering new hope for patients with this condition.

This study compared 6 algorithmic fairness–improving approaches for low-birth-weight predictive models and found that they improved accuracy but decreased sensitivity for Black populations.

A panelist discusses how the new doravirine and islatravir combination offers an alternative to integrase inhibitor-based therapies, particularly useful for patients with integrase inhibitor resistance or adverse reactions, although clinicians may struggle with determining the ideal patient population.

A panelist discusses how a new drug combination of doravirine and islatravir was compared to a standard bictegravir-based therapy in patients with HIV, showing noninferiority with over 90% of patients maintaining viral suppression without excess toxicity.

Panelists discuss how the current Alzheimer disease treatment landscape represents both significant progress with novel amyloid-targeting therapies and ongoing challenges, while expressing hope for future advances including more potent disease-modifying treatments, combination therapies, earlier intervention capabilities, improved biomarkers, greater health care equity, and comprehensive care models that address both medical and psychosocial aspects of the disease.

A study reveals higher health care costs and resource use for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs), emphasizing the need for improved patient management strategies.
