Some people with
#cancer will have only one #treatment. But most people have a combination of
treatments, such as surgery with #chemotherapy and/or #radiation #therapy. When
you need treatment for cancer, you have a lot to learn and think about.
Graft Guidance
is issued by US #FDA encouraging the inclusion of male patients in #clinical #trials
of breast cancer drugs. #Breast_cancer is rare in males, with less than 1% of
all cases occurring in men. Men are not typically included in #clinical_trials
for breast cancer treatment, which has led to a related lack of data. Men's
treatments are generally based upon studies in #women, said the FDA in a press
statement. Some approved treatments are gender-neutral in their indication, but
many therapies are only approved for women and further data may be necessary to
support labeling indications for men, the agency pointed out. The goal of the
guidance is to provide additional #FDA-approved treatment options for men.
Recently, the
FDA extended the indication of the breast cancer drug #palbociclib to include
male patients, based on "real world" data. Post marketing reports and
electronic health records showed that the safety profile for men treated with
palbociclib was consistent with the safety profile for women. The decision was
also based on the acknowledgement that the majority of breast tumors in male
patients express hormone receptors; such #tumors are typically treated with
endocrine-based therapies, which, in #advanced_cancers, may include
palbociclib.
