“Given that olaparib is expensive and relatively toxic, and in the absence of a clear survival benefit, it may be difficult to justify its use”

It is time we started treating radiation as experimental therapy in pancreatic cancer and found a way to prove its utility. I still use it where I believe it helps--such things as clearing margins and getting people time off systemic therapy, but would be nice to prove benefit
"In conclusion, there is very little evidence to support the use of radiotherapy in nonmetastatic #pancreaticcancer. Further exploratory studies may define a role in a select subgroup of patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced disease ...."

HIMALAYA. If D is non inferior to S, T+D similar to D, is T needed? “Is the juice (toxicities) worth the squeeze?” Or is it better than atezo/bev? For patients with a contraindication to anti-angiogenic therapy, D (or T+D 😬) would be an appropriate first-line therapy in HCC.

Great work from Mansi Arora and collaborators, now leading to an approved IIT to open shortly across all three Mayo Clinic sites. Hopefully results will lead to a reconsideration for a NCI CTEP Coop study in the future! @MayoCancerCare @curecc @staclinds @EileenMOReilly

After yest FDA ODAC mtg, hearing the argument that the lack of benefit in KN240 was that it was underpowered. Are we really justifying a drug with incremental benefit should be used bc placebo did too well/over performed? We can do better for our pts @GIcancerDoc @VPrasadMDMPH

Agree 💯 %. Additionally, the clinical benefit for pembro is in a small subset of patients, with no biomarker available for selection. It could not beat placebo. If there were no other therapies available, one could argue. But with agents that beat placebo (Cabo, Rego, Ram) 🤦🏻‍♂️
Interesting argument that in my viewpoint does not hold .. If someone is ineligible for VEGFi, r Lenva or Sora OK? Then Pembro 1L? "However, ~ 15% to 20% of pts with advanced HCC are ineligible to bev in 1L, precluding them from receiving the combination of atezo/beva as 1L"
