ESMO 2024 was the year genitourinary cancer took front and centre stage with many exciting updates, trials, and tribulations. This week, OFTIM brings their greatest champion back to dive deep into the changes that will impact our patients and their families, the NCCN guidelines, and how we practice medicine. Unfortunately, the heavyweight champion boxer was unavailable, but we got the next best thing - Prof Anthony Joshua from St Vincent's Health and The Garvan Institute of Medical Research. This week, he discusses all things genitourinary cancer and gives a knockout performance.
Enough boxing analogies - on with the show!

Oncolytic viruses thrive in cancer cells and can replicate rapidly, destroying the cells and enabling the immune system to attack tumours. This week, we interview Dr Malcolm McColl and Prof Darren Shafren, a dynamic duo in Australian biotechnology and part of the leadership team of ImmVirx, a viral oncolytic company. Prior to creating ImmVirx, they successfully launched the product Cavatak, used in melanoma and other malignancies.
ImmVirx has developed a proprietary bio-selected RNA virus that is showing promising pre-clinical and phase 1 results as monotherapy in hard-to-treat cancers, including colorectal, gastric hepatocellular and ovarian cancers.

Metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer continues to dominate headlines, and new therapeutic options continue to be found for those afflicted with the disease. Before trastuzumab (anti-HER2 therapy), the overall survival for this cohort of patients was less than two years. As technology and treatments changed, it can boast an extended survival well beyond five years in numerous studies, with many patients responding far more than that number.
This week, we will discuss two exciting and pioneering studies. The first looks at tucatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with known results in those with intracranial disease. The second is the use of abemaciclib in hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer in patients previously treated with trastuzumab.

The discovery of EGFR as a driver mutation and the development of medications to take advantage of this mutation changed the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) forever. Not only did it vastly improve outcomes for patients with this subset of cancers, it opened the door for the likes of alectinib, lorlatinib and sotorasib to carve out niches for their own driver mutations. However, the treatment remains imperfect and people much smarter than Josh and Michael have been hard at work trying to improve on the current standard of care, osimertinib. This brings us to MARIPOSA, a study that combined the dual EGFR-MET bispecific antibody amivantamab with the CNS-penetrant anti-EGFR TKI lazertinib, and uniquely compared it to osimertinib. Will this combination dethrone the king and rule the roost in EGFRmut NSCLC? Or will excessive toxicity and logistical concerns consign it to a niche at best? Listen on to find out!

It is rare on any show to be able to interview a true pioneer. On today's episode of Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind, we have the privilege of interviewing Dr Janet Abrahm, a pioneer in every sense of the word. An internist with over 20 years experience, Dr Abrahm was one of the founders and earliest proponents of palliative care in the United States. A staff specialist at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, she is board-certified in Hematology, Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Oncology. She has lectured on palliative care in the DFCI Master Course for oncologists throughout the US. Since 2010 she has participated internationally in the Education in Palliative and End-of-Life (EPEC)-Oncology course as a Master teacher. Most recently, she was the recipient of the 2024 Walther Cancer Foundation Supportive Oncology Award, recognising a distinguished lecturer and leader with multiple, significant, and enduring contributions to palliative and supportive care in oncology through the prevention, assessment and management of cancer- and treatment-related suffering. Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind is truly privileged to have Dr Abrahm on the show.

"Here at last, at the edge of the sea, comes the end of our Fellowship." So said Gandalf the White at the conclusion of J.R.R Tolkien's epic The Lord of the Rings. Today, Josh and Michael have a no less epic conclusion to their own adventure, that of ASCO 2024. Over the last fifteen days, our intrepid hosts have journeyed across the world of medical oncology, from the highs of colorectal, breast and lung cancer to the dark days of central nervous system tumours. As is our tradition, we end our coverage with a look at the studies chosen by the ASCO committee as worthy of special attention: the plenary presentations. It is rare indeed to have four presentations in one year that all change clinical practice, but that is what we have been treated to this year.
Thank you for joining us for coverage of ASCO 2024; we have enjoyed ourselves immensely in covering it, and we hope you have enjoyed our meandering journey through some of the best oncology researchers in the world. We will be back in a couple of weeks as Oncology for the Inquisitive arm returns to its normal programming.

Today is the penultimate episode in our ASCO 2024 Odyssey. Michael and Josh have neglected sarcoma to date, but today is the day@ Sarcoma is rare, where clinician experience becomes paramount to treatment options and outcomes. They develop in soft tissues and bones and vary in origin, including deep soft tissue, bone, nerves, etc. Today, they explore three trials. The first is paclitaxel and avelumab in inoperable angiosarcoma, the second is perioperative radiotherapy with adjuvant immunotherapy in high-risk soft tissue sarcoma, and the final is a good old head-to-head trial of perioperative chemotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma (adriamycin plus ifosfamide vs gemcitabine and docetaxel.

Some consider the number 13 unlucky; fear of the number has its own name, "triskaidekaphobia." So it is perhaps somewhat fitting that day 13 of our ASCO Odyssey is dedicated to the cancer type with which scientists and doctors have had arguably the least luck in treating: central nervous system cancers. We still await CNS oncology's immunotherapy or EGFR/ALK moment, and unfortunately, as of ASCO 2024, that has not come yet. However, that has not stopped legions of incredibly dedicated and intelligent people from trying. ASCO 2024 brought us several very interesting studies, both in form and function, that we hope will lay the groundwork for that magical breakthrough in this very difficult group of cancers.
