Skin cancer highlights from AAD VMX 2021

Anthony Rossi, MD, Assistant Attending Physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, shares several updates in non-melanoma skin cancers emerging from the American Academy of Dermatology’s AAD VMX 2021 meeting.

 

With PD-1 inhibitors emerging as an immunotherapeutic option in this area, Dr. Rossi discusses a literature review that was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and cemiplimab in patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

 

Another review analyzed statin use as a predictor of more aggressive tumor characteristics in squamous cell carcinoma. Dr. Rossi shares that while there were no significant findings when examining the cohort as a whole, the male study population did see an elevated correlation between statin history and high-risk tumors.

 

Lastly, Dr. Rossi highlights an analysis of tumor burden in patients taking sonidegib 200 mg once daily as part of the 42-month BOLT study. Sonidegib demonstrated durable tumor response and substantial reduction in tumor burden, and safety and tolerability were consistent with earlier data.
