| Multiple myeloma in 2016: Fresh perspectives on treatment and moments of clarity Prashant Kapoor & S. Vincent Rajkumar Published online: 10 January 2017 p73 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.221 Data obtained in the past year underscored the benefit of a triplet regimen comprising bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone for patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma, and have provided high-level evidence supporting the safety of adding daratumumab to standard-of-care doublets for those with relapsed and/or refractory disease. As a result, achieving minimal residual disease-negativity at any stage of myeloma is now a realistic possibility. Full Text | PDF | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Small-cell lung cancer in 2016: Shining light on novel targets and therapies Charles M. Rudin & John T. Poirier Published online: 13 December 2016 p75 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.203 In 2016, the pace of biological insights into small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) was reflected in new treatment approaches that have suggested meaningful clinical benefit to patients. We focus on three highlights of 2016: preclinical studies defining NFIB as a putative driver of metastasis, and two clinical studies; one that assessed the efficacy of an agent targeting the Notch ligand DLL3, and the other that explored T-cell checkpoint-blockade therapies targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4.

| Head and neck cancer in 2016: A watershed year for improvements in treatment? Alain P. Algazi & Jennifer R. Grandis Published online: 06 December 2016 p76 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.196 In the past year, clinical trials have provided important information on strategies to decrease treatment-associated toxicities in patients with head and neck cancer. In addition, the FDA approved the first immunotherapeutic agents for patients with recurrent and/or metastatic disease, based on the observation of durable responses to pembrolizumab in a phase Ib trial, and demonstration of improved survival and quality of life with the use of nivolumab versus chemotherapy in a phase III trial.

| Sarcoma in 2016: Evolving biological understanding and treatment of sarcomas Jean-Yves Blay & Isabelle Ray-Coquard Published online: 13 December 2016 p78 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.200 In 2016, novel findings on the role of predisposing gene variants in sarcoma oncogenesis were published, as well as studies addressing novel molecular classifications and results from randomized controlled trials highlighting successful new treatments. Herein, we discuss these meaningful advances. Full Text | PDF | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Neuroendocrine tumours in 2016: Defining rules for increasingly personalized treatments Massimo Falconi & Stefano Partelli Published online: 06 December 2016 p80 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.197 In 2016, results of an extensive trial broadened the range of malignancies that can be treated with everolimus to include neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the lung and gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, studies aimed at identifying biomarkers with increased specificity, and at better defining high-grade NETs have enabled substantial progress towards delivering effective targeted treatments to patients with NETs.

| Renal-cell carcinoma in 2016: Advances in treatment — jostling for pole position Laurence Albiges & Toni K. Choueiri Published online: 10 January 2017 p82 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.224 In 2016, two major trials provided conflicting evidence regarding the role of 1 year of adjuvant therapy with sunitinib for patients with high-risk renal-cell carcinoma. In the second-line metastatic setting, updated data from key trials showed that cabozantinib improved overall survival over everolimus, and nivolumab was associated with a better quality of life compared with everolimus. Finally, a phase II study in previously untreated patients showed cabozantinib to be superior to sunitinib. Full Text | PDF | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Cancer, obesity, diabetes, and antidiabetic drugs: is the fog clearing? Adi J. Klil-Drori, Laurent Azoulay & Michael N. Pollak Published online: 09 August 2016 p85 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.120 The prevalence rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer are increasing globally. Herein, the relationships between these diseases and their treatments are reviewed, and the practical principles relevant to the increasingly common challenge of managing patients who have been diagnosed with both diabetes and cancer are outlined.

| Genomic complexity of multiple myeloma and its clinical implications Salomon Manier et al. Published online: 17 August 2016 p100 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.122 In the past 5 years, results from large-scale whole-exome sequencing studies have brought new insight into the clonal heterogeneity and evolution of multiple myeloma, a genetically complex disease. Herein, the authors describe the driver gene alterations and sequential acquisition of the main genomic aberrations involved in this disease, with a focus on the clonal heterogeneity of multiple myeloma and its clinical implications.

| OPINION A second chance for telomerase reverse transcriptase in anticancer immunotherapy Maurizio Zanetti Published online: 01 June 2016 p115 | doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2016.67 Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is expressed constitutively in tumour cells throughout the evolution of many cancers; therefore, this potential tumour self-antigen has been an important target for anticancer vaccines over the past 10 years, but only modest benefits from this approach have been observed in clinical trials. In this Perspectives, Maurizio Zanetti reviews these studies, and highlights advances in our knowledge that warrant further development and refinement of TERT immunotherapy.
