On today's blessedly brief episode, Josh and Michael give an overview of one of the greatest challenges for any practicing oncologist: the conundrum of cancer in young people. In recent decades, the number and proportion of young patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer has skyrocketed. This trend has been noted in news outlets across the world, reported in sources as disparate as the New York Times and the Australian Broadcasting Company. From the medical to the logistical and emotional, managing a young person with a cancer diagnosis is very difficult. While neither of our intrepid hosts has an answer to this very complex topic, there are a number of nuggets they drop that could help. Listen on for a thought provoking episode of Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind.

IN BREAKING NEWS... Or not really, as we are a bit late to the party. But in honour of liposomal irinotecan's recent approval by the Federal Drugs Administration, we thought we would take another look at the NAPOLI-3 trial. The first potentially practice-changing update to the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer arguably in more than a decade, the combination of liposomal irinotecan with 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin proved itself superior (spoiler alert) to the established combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel. Will this practically change practice for our patients? The answer, for Australia at least, is a resounding maybe. Listen on for all the juicy details, and the return of OftiM Newsreader "Walter Fernando-Cronkite."

It is a tale as old as time, as old as the stars, the heavens and human consciousness itself. Okay, we're exaggerating a bit, but for as long as pharmacology and capitalism have been joined at the hip, the question of "which drug is best" has been at or near the forefront of medical decision-making. With the development of standardised clinical trials and the difficulty of conducting direct head-to-head comparisons, this question has become more difficult to answer conclusively. Nowhere is this epitomised better than with the triptych of available CDK4/6 inhibitors: palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib. A lot of ink and pixels have been devoted to comparing the pivotal trials of these three equally pivotal agents: PALOMA-2, MONALEESA-2 and MONARCH-3, respectively. However, Josh and Michael have brought the definitive and not-at-all rambling answer to this question. Listen on to find out!

In this episode, Michael and Josh welcome a very special guest: Michael's Labrador Beans. Beans is a world-renowned expert in eating snacks, but unfortunately, had very little to offer on their topic today: the treatment of progressive or recurrent cutaneous melanoma with primary and secondary resistance to immunotherapy. So, unfortunately, the discussion was left to your regular hosts.
For approximately 50% of patients, this is fortunately not a question they need to worry about, as immunotherapy and BRAF/MEK inhibitors remain effective treatments. However, that still leaves half of all patients facing an uncertain future, as treatment beyond these two agents remains uncertain. Josh and Michael examine two studies that may shine a light in this dark corner of oncology: LEAP-004, a single-arm study of lenvatinib + pembrolizumab, and an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine examining the use of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as a novel weapon against immunotherapy-resistant melanoma.

While Josh and Michael enjoy a good rambling, meandering podcast as much as the next guy, we made a promise to keep our coverage of the ASCO GU 2024 conference short and sweet. So, as promised, here is the second - and final - episode of our miniseries. For a change of pace, one of our studies involves the adjuvant use of immunotherapy! Specifically, AMBASSADOR looks at pembrolizumab in patients with early urothelial cancer, a patient cohort that is crying out for more effective treatments for early-stage disease. Meanwhile, Josh tries to "BRCAAway" from our comfort zone by discussing the latest trial examining the use of PARP inhibitors in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Yes, we'll show ourselves out now.

With Josh's Grand Adventure(TM) now in the books, he and Michael return to their usual programming, examining two studies presented at the not-so-recent ASCO GU conference in San Fransisco. While the conference took place in January of this year, as the old adage goes: better late than never. In this episode, our hosts examine two studies; the CONTACT-02 study examining a combination of immunotherapy + cabozantinib in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and an update from the KEYNOTE-564 that examined whether pembrolizumab had any benefit in the adjuvant treatment of renal cell cancer. Will either of these studies change practice? Fear not, for our fearless oncological explorers are on hand to guide you through the hazardous ratios and nefarious p values!

Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind is back, and we have a blockbuster year ahead! Before we get there, we have our year in review 2023. Michael and Josh have poured over the treasure trove of pivotal trials from 2023 to bring you the best studies (in our opinion) from the last 365 days! We used various complex metrics involving no science or maths at all.
Just when you thought you were free from oncology learning, we drag you back in, much like Al Pacino's character from The Godfather is famously quoted saying, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!". We hope you all have a great year ahead!

2023 has been a year of highs and lows, a calendar of peaks and troughs, an epoch of mountains and valleys (all right Michael, put the thesaurus away...). From standing ovations for enfortumab vedotin and vorasidenib, to the ongoing black hole that is effective treatments for pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinomas. However, through it all the brightest minds in the field have continued to stoke the fires of hope with the development of novel antibody-drug conjugates, immunotherapies and clever applications of established treatments.
How fitting, then, that Josh and MIchael - definitely NOT amongst the brightest minds in the field, but two of the most enthusiastic - end their coverage of 2023 with a final glance into the future of lung cancer treatment. Keeping themselves to a (not so) strict five minute limit, they will look at four studies that may offer a glimpse into how lung cancer of both the small- and non-small cell variety may be managed.
We wish you a very happy and safe New Year, and a happy beginning to 2024.

ASCO and ESMO are done, and soon, 2023 itself will be in the rearview mirror. And yet, there are still conferences happening around the world; yes, we know the World Conference on Lung Cancer occurred before ESMO, but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Join Michael and Josh on their latest virtual journey abroad, this time to the equatorial island of Singapore, as they report on two of their favourite studies from WCLC 2023. For those who celebrate, have a Merry Christmas and a happy festive season.

On this episode, their final of 2023, Michael and Josh return to the world of recent fan favourite, enfortumab vedotin (EV). Not content to sing its praises from every rooftop, our intrepid hosts take the necessary step of examining the common and sometimes severe manifestations of dermatological toxicity deriving from EV. With the assistance of a recently published guideline, they examine the presentation, assessment and management of skin toxicity.
From all of us at OftiM, we would like to thank you for joining us throughout 2023, and we wish you a very happy festive season.

Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind would like to issue a formal mae culpa to our listeners. You have joined us for over 12 months and over 80 episodes and listened to our ramblings and bad jokes. And it has taken 80 episodes for us to realise we have neglected the crucial and exciting subject of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). But fear not! We will rectify this egregious oversight with immediate effect. TNBC remains the scourge of the usually more optimistic breast cancer space. However, the fight of the world's oncologists continues across all fronts, and TNBC is no different. In today's episode, Michael and Josh will discuss the twin pillars of modern anti-cancer therapies: antibody-drug conjugates (sacituzumab govitecan) and immunotherapy (pembrolizumab). As so often the case, this is a growth area of medical oncology and one that we are very excited to (finally) address.
