In this month’s podcast for The Journal of Community and Supportive Oncology, Dr David Henry highlights two Original Reports, one on the effectiveness and safety of ipilimumab therapy in advanced melanoma, and another on the feasibility of implementing a community-based randomized trial of yoga for women who are undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Also in the line-up are a Review article on sleep disorders in patients with cancer; a Community Translations examination of palonosetron and netupitant for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients; and Case Reports on distant skin metastases as primary presentation of gastric cancer, and sarcoidosis, complete heart block, and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a young woman. The bimonthly New Therapies feature focuses on hard-to-treat tumors, specifically, glioblastoma, bone sarcoma, and liver cancer.
