Atezolizumab in breast cancer therapy

02/2020 MUDr. Nikol Rušarová; MUDr. Marie Bartoušková
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer of women (except of skin tumors). In addition, up to 30 percent of women with early-stage, non-metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis will develop distant metastatic disease. Currently due to preventive examinations and mammography examination the incidence of breast cancer is increasing, which was 146 women / 100 000 inhabitants in 2017. But mortality decreases due to new possibilities of treatment and enlargement of the treatment armamentarium. In 2017 the mortality rate was 34.7 women / 100 000 inhabitants.

05/2019 Doc. MUDr. David Vrána, Ph.D.; MUDr. Nikol Rušarová; MUDr. Marek Szkorupa, Ph.D.
Malignant pleural mesothelioma represents a disease with poor prognosis. There is currently no accepted general standard of care however as available published data indicate the multimodality approach combining chemotherapy (neoadjuvant or adjuvant, based on cisplatin/carboplatin and pemetrexed), surgery and eventually perioperative pleural chemotherapy lavage seem to bring the most benefit. This approach is suitable for only limited group of patients in a good performance status, without any distant metastatic disease and without clinically significant comorbidities. Further research is therefore needed to define the optimal treatment algorithm for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
