Tumor‐Regional Immune Microenvironment: A Critical Factor in the Design of Radiotherapy–Immunotherapy Combination Trials

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clinical trials combining radiotherapy (RT) with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have shown improved outcomes in only a fraction of patients, and optimal strategies for integrating these modalities remain under intense investigation. With a few exceptions, phase III combination trials have yielded disappointing results.

DPYD and UGT1A1 Genotype‐Based Dosing for Fluoropyrimidines and Irinotecan Chemotherapy: Variant‐Specific Impact on Treatment Intensity and Toxicity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Pre‐treatment DPYD and UGT1A1 genotyping is increasingly used to prevent fluoropyrimidine‐ and irinotecan‐related toxicity, but variant‐specific real‐world effects remain unclear. In an unselected cohort of cancer patients with actionable genotypes, genotype‐driven dosing improved safety while preserving treatment exposure in high‐risk DPYD c.1905+1G>A
