Melanoma accounts for just 1% of all skin cancer cases, but is responsible for the majority of skin cancer-related deaths. Melanoma occurs when melanocytes – pigment-producing cells of the skin that are intercalated in the basal cell layer – become malignant. Although surgical excision is a potentially curative option for many melanoma patients, the disease can disseminate rapidly. Currently, only 27.3% of patients diagnosed with distant metastatic melanoma survive for five years, compared to about 99.0% of those with localized disease. Although 83% of patients present with localized disease, approximately one quarter to one third of these patients will eventually experience disease recurrence.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by the infiltration of malignant, antibody-producing plasma cells in the bone marrow. The disease represents approximately 1% of all cancers, and 10% of hematological cancers. The hallmarks of MM are high levels of monoclonal (M-) protein, high levels of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow, and organ damage.
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) specifically originating from centrocyte and centroblast B cells and usually beginning in the lymph nodes. The disease is among the most common forms of NHL alongside diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), accounting for approximately 35% of all NHLs.
Lung cancer is generally categorized as either small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Of these, NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for roughly 85% of all cases. NSCLC can be further divided into non-squamous and squamous NSCLC histologies. Squamous NSCLC refers to patients with squamous cell carcinoma, whereas non-squamous NSCLC includes patients with adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and other less common subtypes. Incidence of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma varies greatly by both geographic region and gender. In general, adenocarcinoma comprises approximately 30–50% of all lung cancer cases, while squamous cell carcinoma accounts for roughly 25–35%.
Ovarian cancer is defined as a group of tumors that originate in the ovaries. Most ovarian cancers are epithelial carcinomas which begin in the tissue surrounding the ovary. Other less common types of ovarian tumors include primary peritoneal, fallopian tube, and malignant germ cell tumors. Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, and is the leading cause of gynecological cancer-related death in women.
Prostate cancer occurs when malignant cells originate in the prostate gland. The vast majority of prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, but other less common types include sarcomas, small cell carcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and transitional cell carcinomas. Some prostate cancers can grow and spread quickly, but many are relatively indolent. Because of this, depending on patient age and other co-morbidities, some prostate cancer patients may not receive active treatment for the disease during their lifetime.
Sutent is set to lose ground due to both newer, more effective treatments and imminent biosimilar erosion. Previously the SOC across many treatment settings, the pivotal trials of several newer therapies, which include checkpoint inhibitors Keytruda, Opdivo, and Bavencio, and the RTK inhibitor Cabometyx, have demonstrated significant clinical benefit over Sutent in the first-line setting. Keytruda and Cabometyx have also demonstrated benefit over Sutent in subsequent-line settings.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a relatively rare breast cancer subtype. It is characterized by the absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors and does not involve the overexpression of HER2. TNBC is associated with poor prognosis, a high risk of local recurrence, and poor disease-free and cancer-specific survival. It accounts for roughly 14% of breast cancers.
