03/2020 Doc. MUDr. Josef Dvořák, Ph.D.; MUDr. Igor Richter, Ph.D.; MUDr. Jan Prokš; MUDr. Aneta Rozsypalová; MUDr. Jana Grimová
A prospective randomized phase III clinical trial, GOG 240, demonstrated a statistically significant increase in progression-free survival and overall survival in the first-line treatment of metastatic or locally advanced inoperable cervical cancer. Bevacizumab in combination with paclitaxel and cisplatin or alternatively in patients who cannot be treated with platinum, paclitaxel and topotecan, may be indicated for the treatment of adult patients with persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

Immunotherapy of triple negative breast cancer

05/2019 Doc. MUDr. Josef Dvořák, PhD., MUDr. Igor Richter, Ph.D., MUDr. Jan Prokš, MUDr. Aneta Rozsypalová, MUDr. Jana Grimová
Triple negative breast cancer constitutes a heterogeneous group of diseases with limited systemic treatment options. A new perspective treatment modality is immunotherapy with check point inhibitors. The phase III randomized control trial IMpassion130 demonstrated a significantly prolonged progression free survival and overall survival in first line treatment of metastatic or locally advanced inoperable triple negative breast cancer with atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel, exclusively in patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) ≥ 1 % expression on tumor infiltrating immune cells.

Current treatment options for metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer

02/2018 MUDr. Aneta Rozsypalová, doc. MUDr. Josef Dvořák, Ph.D., MUDr. Igor Richter, Ph.D., MUDr. David Buka, MUDr. Jana Grimová, MUDr. Michaela Matoušková
Prostate cancer is mostly hormonal dependent disease from the beginning but during sometime develops in castration-resistant prostate cancer - it is time when the progression of the disease is occurring despite androgen deprivation therapy and patients have a testosterone level drawn. Many trials are interested in finding new opportunities of treatment of this stage. Thanks these trials we have new drugs: in category of cytotoxic chemotherapy cabazitaxel, new generation of androgen deprivation therapy ARTA (abirateron acetate, enzalutamide). For patients with bone-only metastatic disease, without visceral metastasis, there is an opportunity to use radium 223. And we can't forget immunotherapy agents as sipuleucel-T and check point inhibitors. So we have many opportunities which significantly prolong median of overall survival with good quality of life.
