Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 70: Best of ASCO colon.... 2025 ;)
Q: So what did you make of that?
I thought she handled herself with great aplomb during the Q&A, because it was a little bit challenging.
Ep 46: Cemiplimab + Fianlimab (first report)
Q: What does this data show about the efficacy in post-adjuvant patients?
This is promising, but what's it really going to look like in larger randomized trials?
Ep 46: Cemiplimab + Fianlimab (first report)
Q: Do you think all lag-3s are created equal?
I don't think we know, it's as simple as that. It's entirely possible that there could be a difference between anti-LAG3 therapies, but it requires testing.
Ep 45: KEYNOTE 006 10 year follow-up
Q: Is that what you would do with a CR, a patient in CR who gets into CR in their first year?
We still tend to give them two years or stop early, but there's no definitive evidence to guide this.
Ep 54: All things MSLT with Mark Faries
Q: What is your feeling about sentinel lymph node for clinical stage 2s?
I think it's a mistake not to do sentinel node biopsies for clinical stage 2s, as the staging information is essential.
