    Abstract The use of genetic testing to personalize therapeutic strategies in cancer is rapidly evolving and thus changing the landscape of treatment of oncologic patients. The UGT1A1 gene is an important component for the metabolism and glucoronidation of certain drugs, including irinotecan and sacituzumab govitecan (SG); therefore, various UGT1A1 polymorphisms leading to decreased function of the UGT1A1 enzyme may lead to increased risk of treatment-related side effects. Testing for UGT1A1 polymorphism is not routinely adopted in clinical practice; that is due to the lack of concise studies and recommendations concerning the clinical relevance of this test and its impact on the quality of life of cancer patients. The knowledge regarding UGT1A1 polymorphism and its clinical relevance will be reviewed in this article, as well as the published literature on the association between UGT1A1 polymorphism and the toxicity risk of irinotecan as well as sacituzumab govitecan. The current recommendations and guidelines on UGT1A1 testing will be discussed in detail in the hopes of providing guidance to oncologists in their clinical practice.

    Abstract The goal of second-line therapy for most patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma is long-term tumor control without detriment to quality of life. Clinical practice guidelines recommend trabectedin as a second-line option for advanced soft tissue sarcoma as it can provide the necessary balance between these interwoven goals. Cumulative experience with trabectedin in clinical trials and clinical practice has informed its usage such that greater benefit can be derived. In particular, use in earlier lines allows more patients to achieve prolonged tumor control (six or more cycles). Efficacy outcomes are superior when trabectedin is administered as second- versus later-line therapy and when it is used continuously until disease progression.

    Abstract The choice of second- and later-line options for advanced soft tissue sarcoma (aSTS) should always be considered from the patient's perspective, taking into account the potential impact of treatment on daily activities and quality of life. This review examines data on the safety of trabectedin in the management of patients with aSTS as reported in clinical trials and real-world studies. Evidence indicates that trabectedin exhibits an acceptable and manageable safety profile and is compatible with daily activities. Trabectedin is associated with low rates of toxicity-related discontinuations, few potentially life-threatening toxicities, a lack of apparent cumulative toxicities and low rates of grade 3/4 nausea, vomiting and fatigue. Trabectedin represents a valuable second-line option for aSTS, including in elderly patients.

    Abstract For 35 years options for treating advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) were limited to doxorubicin, dacarbazine and ifosfamide. In 2007, trabectedin was approved. Since then, several other agents have become available and many more are in development, ushering in a new era in disease management. Considerable scope exists for improving outcomes of advanced STS through better trial design and improved patient care in everyday practice. After anthracycline failure, there are a range of treatment options and, increasingly, the choice of therapy is histology driven. Introduction of newer agents and optimising use of established agents such as trabectedin has led to an increase in overall survival of advanced STS patients. Optimising treatment with trabectedin is being achieved through more extensive experience in drug management, mainly associated with use in earlier lines and uninterrupted use until disease progression. Identification by next-generation sequencing of a significant proportion of cases of actionable mutations among patients with advanced STS suggests a move towards matched therapy in future. As the armamentarium of active agents in advanced sarcoma increases, so too will the challenge of selecting the right drug for the right patient at the right time, in accordance with the patient's lifestyle and wishes.

    Abstract With the emergence of novel targeted therapeutic options in early-stage and advanced-stage malignancies, researchers have shifted their focus on developing personalized treatment plans through molecular profiling. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a cell-free DNA (ctDNA) fragment, originating from tumor cells, and circulating in the bloodstream as well as biological fluids. Over the past decade, many techniques were developed for liquid biopsies through next-generation sequencing. This alternative non-invasive biopsy offers several advantages in various types of tumors over traditional tissue biopsy. The process of liquid biopsy is considered minimally invasive and therefore easily repeatable when needed, providing a more dynamic analysis of the tumor cells. Moreover, it has an advantage in patients with tumors that are not candidates for tissue sampling. Besides, it offers a deeper understanding of tumor burden as well as treatment response, thereby enhancing the detection of minimal residual disease and therapeutic guidance for personalized medicine. Despite its many advantages, ctDNA and liquid biopsy do have some limitations. This paper discusses the basis of ctDNA and the current data available on the subject, as well as its clinical utility. We also reflect on the limitations of using ctDNA in addition to its future perspectives in clinical oncology and precision medicine.

    Abstract Opinion statement: Soft tissue sarcoma (STS), a substantial group of aggressive and rare tumors with tissue heterogeneity, is infrequently represented in clinical trials with an urgent necessity for newer treatment options. Lurbinectedin, an analog of trabectedin, is currently approved, in various countries, as a single agent, for the treatment of patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, preclinical and phase I and phase II trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lurbinectedin in different tumor types, including STS. The better understanding of the pathophysiology and evolution of STS as well as the mechanism of action of lurbinectedin in addition to the available data regarding the activity of this drug in this subset of patients will pave the way to newer therapeutic options and strategies.

    Abstract As a recommended second-line option for advanced soft tissue sarcoma, trabectedin can provide the necessary balance between long-term tumor control and preserved quality of life. Three case studies illustrate the long-lasting responses that patients can achieve with second-line trabectedin. A female patient with metastatic leiomyosarcoma maintained disease control for 2 years with trabectedin (× 41 cycles) with excellent tolerability and no relevant adverse events. At the time of writing, a male patient with a metastatic solitary fibrous tumor was asymptomatic after 30 cycles of trabectedin and treatment was ongoing. A young male patient with a recurrent, nonresectable, retroperitoneal myxoid/round cell liposarcoma was able to continue his sporting activities (triathlons) over 2 years with trabectedin (× 14 cycles) plus watchful waiting.
