This review of the palliation of various gastro-intestinal (GI) symptoms encountered in cancer patients is by no means exhaustive. Frequent symptoms such as constipation, nausea and vomiting, bowel obstructions, ascites and bleeds will be discussed, focusing on their assessment and most importantly, how to control the associated symptoms. All of these symptoms and GI complications can significantly impact patients’ quality of life (QOL) and should be treated as quickly and aggressively as possible. Full article

Prostate cancer accounts for a significant proportion of cancer diagnoses in Canadian men. Over the past decade, the therapeutic landscape for the management of metastatic prostate cancer has undergone rapid changes. Novel strategies use hormonal agents, chemotherapy, homologous recombination repair inhibitors, and radioligand therapy or combination strategies in addition to androgen deprivation therapy. In this review, we summarize the available data addressing key therapeutic areas along the disease continuum and focus on practical aspects for general practitioners in oncology managing patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

In the past decade, a lot of insight was gathered into the composition of the host and tumor factors that promote oncogenesis and treatment resistance. This in turn has led to the ingenious design of multiple new classes of drugs, which have now become the new standards of care in cancer therapy. These include novel antibody-drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies (CAR-T), and bispecific T cell engagers (BitTE). Certain host factors, such as the microbiome composition, are also emerging not only as biomarkers for the response and toxicity to anti-cancer therapies but also as potentially useful tools to modulate anti-tumor responses. The field is slowly moving away from one-size-fits-all treatment options to personalized treatments tailored to the host and tumor. This commentary aims to cover the basic concepts associated with these emerging therapies and the promises and challenges to fight cancer. Full article
