Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NRG2026 and Glioblastoma Awareness Day Special
Q: What are the accrual goals for CC017 and what resources would you recommend to centers wanting to get involved?
The trial plans to screen about 20 patients per month and enroll about 12 per month, aiming to complete in about four years; centers are guided by CTSU training slides, webinars, and plan-coverage materials, with credentialing through iROC for TMP RT delivery.
NRG2026 and Glioblastoma Awareness Day Special
Q: Can you explain briefly to our audience what TMPRT is, and why we think it might work better than standard radiation for glioblastoma?
TMPRT delivers radiotherapy in smaller, spaced-out pulses rather than a single continuous dose, which appears to increase tumor cell radiosensitivity, reduce immunosuppressive activity in the tumor, spare normal brain vessels and neurons, and potentially lessen neurocognitive decline; the trial aims to test these potential benefits with robust endpoints including neurocognitive function.
Uterine Cancer Awareness Month 2026
Q: What advice would you give women about preventative health maintenance and confronting a diagnosis?
Advocate for yourself, listen to your gut, pursue recommended screenings, and seek care from gynecologic oncology specialists; being proactive can improve outcomes and ensure treatments align with the patient's needs.
Uterine Cancer Awareness Month 2026
Q: As a survivor who participated in a clinical trial, can you speak to common misconceptions about clinical trials and clinical research?
Clinical trials are carefully designed studies; participants are not treated as guinea pigs, and trials are monitored to ensure safety and quality of life, with the potential to benefit future patients and inform standards of care.
Prostate Cancer Analysis and Translational Science from ASCO 2026
Q: Should Decipher be used routinely on patients with high-risk prostate cancer, and what is your message to centers not yet adopting it?
Decipher is recommended by NCCN with Simon level 1b evidence and is being tested in ongoing trials; clinicians should consider it a validated, useful tool today, while awaiting higher levels of evidence from ongoing studies.
