Clinical Challenges: Essential Thrombocythemia

email article Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by an increase in the number of platelets in the blood. Of the three main types of MPNs (ET, polycythemia vera, and myelofibrosis), ET is the most common, with an incidence of about 2.2 per 100,000 population yearly, according to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It is driven primarily by molecular change in three genes JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation, said Ruben Mesa, MD, director of the UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center. Clinically, the burden these patients face is a risk of blood clots or bleeding, the potential of elevated counts, as well as the development of disease-related symptoms.

GSRGT 2020: Aggressive Surgical Approach For Tumors

GSRGT 2020: Aggressive Surgical Approach for Tumors (UroToday.com) To discuss aggressive surgical approaches for primary tumors, Dr. Chris Protzel joined the inaugural Global Society of Rare Genitourinary Tumors (GSRGT) 2020 Virtual Summit. Dr. Protzel notes that treatment of the primary tumor is the key to quality of life for these patients. Barriers to treatment of the primary tumor include fear (30%), social problems (35%), psychiatric problems (>50%), and sexual function concerns (77%). In line with these concerns, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines suggest that careful consideration should be given to penile-preserving techniques if the patient is reliable in terms of compliance and close follow-up. These techniques may include wide local excision, as well as Mohs surgery (plus reconstructive surgery) and laser therapy. Local recurrence after primary organ sparing surgery varies from 4-56% for patients with T1 disease and 4-34% for patients with T2 tu

GSRGT 2020: Evolution of Systemic Therapies and the Landscape of Clinical Trials Enrolling Patients

GSRGT 2020: Evolution of Systemic Therapies and the Landscape of Clinical Trials Enrolling Patients (UroToday.com) To discuss the evolution of systemic therapies and the landscape of clinical trials among patients with penile cancer, Dr. Philippe Spiess, the co-Course Director of the Global Society of Rare Genitourinary Tumors (GSRGT) 2020 Virtual Summit, invited Dr. Jad Chahoud, his colleague from the Moffitt Cancer Center. Dr. Chahoud started by highlighting that penile cancer is a rare disease in the US, representing 0.7% of all cancer, with high-risk HPV responsible for ~50% of all penile squamous cell carcinoma. The majority of these patients will present with localized or locally advanced disease whereby platinum-based combination chemotherapy remains the front-line therapy. The InPACT trial is actively enrolling patients to determine the frontline therapy for locally advanced penile cancer, given there have been limited treatment advancements in the last decade.
