Summary

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting remains an important adverse effect of treatment in daily clinical practice. Recently, new data on combinations of antiemetic agents became available for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea/vomiting in patients receiving highly and moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. As a result, the leading international cancer societies updated their antiemesis guidelines. This text aims at providing guidance regarding these new regimens in the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, with a particular focus on highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

Highlights in breast cancer

BJMO - volume 11, issue 7, november 2017

W. Lybaert MD

In this article, the most important new studies presented at ESMO 2017 in Madrid in early (EBC) and metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are summarised. In EBC, 5 topics are highlighted: integration of PI3K and CDK4/6 inhibition in the neoadjuvant treatment of oestrogen receptor positive (ER+) EBC, dual endocrine blockade as adjuvant treatment in ER+ EBC, escalated adjuvant treatment in human epidermal growth factor receptor positive (HER2+) EBC and small tumours that can also show an aggressive course. In MBC, 4 topics are discussed: predicting immunogenicity in MBC, abscopal effect in MBC, confirmed benefit of PARP inhibitors in BRCA mutated MBC and CDK4/6 inhibition in first-line MBC.
