Although patients over 65 years of age represent the majority of breast cancer patients, we have limited data on the safety and efficacy of medical oncology treatments in this population. Their indications are based primarily on expert agreement. This literature review discusses the known data on the safety and efficacy of the main medical treatments for breast cancer: chemotherapy, cytokine-dependent kinase inhibitors 4/6, agents targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2, novel antibody conjugates, and immunotherapy.

Elranatamab treatment in a multiple myeloma patient undergoing renal dialysis.

We present the case of a dialyzed patient with relapsed IgA and lambda free light chain multiple myeloma treated with elranatamab. Despite end-stage renal impairment, the treatment with anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)xCD3 bispecific antibody proved to be feasible, without unexpected side effects. Increased attention to infectious risk is crucial for these doubly fragile patients.
