Key Myeloma therapy update for 2025 1) Newly diagnosed: Start treatment with quads, if possible. (Dara-VRd or Isa-VRd). 2) Auto Transplant: can be deferred for standard risk patients, especially if good response to induction. But collect and store stem cells for future use. 3) Maintenance: Doublet maintenance with Dara/ Len or bortezomib/ Len for high risk myeloma. Either Single or Doublet maintenance for standard risk. 4) Use new IMWG IMS risk stratification 5) First relapse: standard triplet therapy is fine for most. CART in first relapse mainly for functional high risk (progression or early relapse with induction). 6) When using CART, disease burden should be controlled and minimal to reduce risk of serious toxicity.

Great discussion on updates in anal cancer by @CathyEngMD #GI25 Anal cancer incidence rising, early stage most common. 5-year OS 36% 📌 Locally advanced anal cancer: -No role for radiosensitizing chemo- RTOG98-11, ACTII -5-FU-MMC remains SOC (cisplatin may be more appropriate in immunosupp pts, 5-FU in frail pts) -no randomized data, but cape can be considered as an alternative to 5-FU, myelosupp may be an issue. -IO in this setting-no role, ongoing studies. -no role for adjuvant or maintenance therapy. 📌Advanced anal cancer: -InterAACT: carbo-taxol became SOC due to similar ORR and better safety profile. -POD1UM-303: Retifanlimab+carbo+taxol (compared to carbo+taxol) in metastatic treatment naive metastatic anal SCC: PFS improvement, ORR 56% trend for OS improvement. HIV + pts included. Now an NCCN 2B recommendation. -EA2176: Carbo/taxol with or without Nivo- PFS primary endpoint, ctDNA incorporated. Finished enrolment. HIV+ pts included.

Udhayvir Grewal@UGrewalMD

Im bummed that my mentor @ChandrikhaC is not at #GI25 to cheer me on, but excited to present our analysis on (well-differentiated) early-onset small bowel NETs. #NETsatGI25 Poster board F13 Excited to build upon the evolving understanding of early-onset NENs. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done. More to come from @UIowaCancer Cc: @SempriniJason
