Meta-analysis of low quality studies is still low quality data but that's unfortunately the reality we have to live with in NEC therapy. Kudos to the authors for sorting through the data of chemo in NECs. ORR∼50%, OS∼13 mos and PFS∼5m Patrick McGarrah, MD ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Should we do liquid bx in all NEC pts in addition to tumor tissue NGS? The answer may be yes. Of the mutations detected in liquid bx, only 71% were seen in tumor tissue and 18% of pts had potentially targetable mutations in liquid only. Aurel Perren ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…


Hot off the press! NENs of the urinary system. Multi-center retrospective study. Great work led by Bryan Le at UCSF. It took a village to get this done...

Should we add ICIs to platinum/etoposide chemo in extrapulmonary NECs? My answer is NO, not outside of a trial. This retrospective study led by Jennifer Gile, M.D. did not report benefit. Please, please keep SWOG S2012 in mind and enroll whenever possible!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jn…


Wondering what to do beyond 1st line chemo for poorly diff extrapulm NEC. The answers might be in here... Thanks to the team, especially Nick Andreatos who led the project (and is not on X) and Patrick McGarrah, MD Bassam Sonbol @drjasonstarr Jaume Capdevila link.springer.com/article/10.100…
