- If you are a peer reviewer of a manuscript submitted to a journal, you should be unbiased, consistent, constructive, and focused on the research. COPE guideline is a good resource.
- If you are a reader of a published article, it is important to ensure that the abstract has the same conclusion as the body of the article.
- If you are a clinical practitioner and wondering how to apply findings of published data, the editorial section is a good source.
- If you are a trainee and wondering how to stay up-to-date, Oxford Textbook of Oncology or ASCO University are recommended.

- CheckMate 142: Durable clinical benefit with nivolumab plus low-dose ipilimumab as first-line therapy in microsatellite high (MSI-H) and non-MSI-H colon cancer
- Phase 2 study included 45 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
- Overall response rate (primary end point) was 60% and disease control rate was 84%
- Almost every patient had some response and the therapy was well-tolerated
- https://academic.oup.com/annonc/article/29/suppl_8/mdy424.019/5141601?searchresult=1
- Tribe 2: FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab followed by reintroduction of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab versus FOLFOX plus bevacizumab followed by FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab
- Phase 3 study of 654 patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer
- Progression free survival (primary end point) of FOLFOXIRI regimen was 18.9 months, compared with 16.2 months of the FOLFOX then FOLFIRI regimen
- Side effects of FOLFOXIRI: febrile neutropenia, neutropenia, GI toxicities
- https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(15)00122-9/fulltext
- Trifluridine/tipiracil versus placebo in patients with heavily pretreated metastatic gastric cancer (TAGS): a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial
- Phase 3 study included 506 patients with metastatic gastric cancer
- Trifluridine/tipiracil (oral drug) provided a 2-month overall survival advantage (primary end point), compared with placebo
- Major side effect: neutropenia
- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30355453
- Safety and clinical activity of 1L atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in a phase 1b study in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
- Phase 1B study included 100 patients with HCC who had not received prior therapy
- Disease control rate was high as was duration of response
- Primary outcomes included safety and efficacy
- The overall response rate was 34% and the most common side effect was hypertension
- http://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.2018.36.15_suppl.4074
