    Navigating Systemic Therapy Selection and Sequencing in Advanced CSCC: With Neil D. Gross, MD, FACS

    In today’s episode, we spoke with Neil D. Gross, MD, FACS. Dr Gross is the medical director of Perioperative Surgical Services, section chief of Oropharynx Cancer, Surgery, and professor of head and neck surgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.  In our exclusive interview, Dr Gross discussed the key biological and clinical distinctions between cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), noting that although BCC is more indolent and less responsive to systemic therapies, including immunotherapy, CSCC carries a meaningful risk of nodal and distant metastases and has demonstrated robust responses to anti–PD-1 therapy, with approximately half of patients achieving a significant response. He emphasized the importance of early multidisciplinary evaluation, with resectability serving as a critical first branch point in treatment planning. For patients with unresectable or metastatic CSCC, anti–PD-1 therapy is now the established standard of care. For borderline resectable patients, such as those at risk for significant functional loss from surgery, upfront systemic therapy offers the potential to preserve function and achieve cure. For resectable, high-risk patients, Gross highlighted the role of adjuvant cemiplimab-rwlc (Libtayo) following surgery and radiation, based on data from the phase 3 C-POST trial (NCT03969004). The discussion also addressed toxicity considerations in elderly and immunocompromised patients, populations Gross described as particularly high risk and underserved. He noted that although anti–PD-1 therapies are generally well tolerated, serious toxicities remain possible, underscoring the importance of careful patient monitoring in both adjuvant and investigational neoadjuvant settings. Finally, Gross highlighted the actively accruing phase 3 NRG-HN014 trial (NCT06568172), a National Cancer Institute–sponsored cooperative group study open across the United States, Canada, and Australia, which is evaluating a neoadjuvant approach vs upfront surgery in patients with advanced resectable CSCC. He also noted that more mature data from C-POST, as well as long-term phase 2 neoadjuvant findings, are anticipated later this year.  [CS1]https://faculty.mdanderson.org/profiles/neil_gross.html

    RECITE Findings Highlight the Potential of Romiplostim to Preserve Chemotherapy Delivery in GI Cancer: With Gerald Soff, MD

    Welcome to OncLive On Air®! I’m your host today, Courtney Flaherty. OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions. In this episode of OncLive On Air, Gerald Soff, MD, sat down with OncLive to discuss findings from the phase 3 RECITE trial (NCT03362177), which evaluated romiplostim for the management of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) in patients with gastrointestinal cancers.  Soff is a professor of clinical medicine in the Division of Hematology and chief of the Classical Hematology Section at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida. During the interview, Soff reviewed the longstanding unmet need for effective CIT management and explained how thrombopoietin receptor agonists, such as romiplostim, may help maintain platelet counts and preserve chemotherapy delivery; highlighted key findings from RECITE; and discussed the concept of relative dose intensity and why maintaining full-dose chemotherapy remains an important goal in GI oncology care.  _____ That’s all we have for today!
