NF1/2 mutations predict favorable benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapies over VEGFR/mTOR inhibitors in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Clin Exp Med)
This tendency was not changed by everolimus (HR = 2.66), but was abrogated slightly by sunitinib (HR = 1.59) and considerably by ICI-based therapies, including nivolumab monotherapy (HR = 1.12), atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (HR = 1.10), and avelumab plus axitinib (HR = 0.69). Overall, our findings suggest that NF1/2 mutations can serve as predictive biomarkers for favorable benefits from ICI-based treatments over VEGFR/mTOR inhibitors in advanced ccRCCs.

Intractable Hemorrhagic Duodenal Ulcer after Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab Treatment for Hepatic Cancer with Lymph Node Metastases-A Case Report (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
The necrotic lesion possibly had a hepatocellular carcinoma component, and the liver cancer before Atezo/Bev treatment was possibly a combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma or cholangiolocellular carcinoma. The patient died of parkinsonism 1 year after surgery, without recurrence of liver cancer.

A Case of Breast Cancer Initially Presenting with Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
Postoperatively, tamoxifen, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and radiotherapy were administered...Despite initiating weekly paclitaxel plus bevacizumab, the disease progressed rapidly, and she died 4 months later. Notably, OMS symptoms did not recur. This case highlights paraneoplastic OMS as an initial manifestation of breast cancer, with neurological improvement following systemic therapy.

Experience of Performing Liver Biopsy in Combination with TAE for Recurrence of HR-Positive HER2-Negative Breast Cancer with Rapid Appearance of Organ Metastases (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
After irradiation to the pain area, paclitaxel and bevacizumab therapy was administered, and a marked reduction of pulmonary and liver metastases, and the disappearance of pain were observed. Local hepatic therapy with TAE followed by chemotherapy was thought to have helped the patient overcome the rapid tumor growth.

A Case of Simultaneous Resection of Single Lung and Liver Metastases with Combined Immunotherapy after Radical Surgery for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
Early postoperatively, he developed a single S3 metastasis in the left lung and started combination therapy with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab...He was treated with lenvatinib for a short period of time postoperatively, but recurred multiple metastases in both lungs on CT scan 3 months later. He has been treated with a combination of durvalumab plus tremelimumab while submitting to cancer genome testing, which revealed TMB-high and MSI-high. Tissue sampling is essential for the diagnosis of inter-hepatic metastasis or multicentric occurrence, and in the case of ipsilateral hepatopulmonary metastasis, trans-diaphragmatic approach surgery is effective for less incision surgery. Combined immunoadjuvant therapy for resected HCC has shown efficacy in short-term results.

Primary and secondary pseudo-stability and progression after atezolizumab with and without bevacizumab. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
Primary and secondary pseudo-stability/progression occur in a non-trivial proportion of patients across cancer types. Outcomes after pseudo-stability/progression are dependent on cancer type and initial response. Uncovering the clinical and molecular features of pseudo-stability/progression subtypes may guide treatment decisions and identify patients who may benefit from continued immunotherapy despite radiographic progression.

Multiagent Combo Bests Immunotherapy Alone against Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Discov)
Compared with atezolizumab monotherapy, a combination of chemotherapy, atezolizumab, and bevacizumab led to dramatically improved progression-free survival in patients with mismatch repair-deficient /microsatellite instability-high metastatic colorectal cancer. Because these patients often experience disease progression on immunotherapy, the results suggest that the combination approach could improve how they fare.
