Combining liquid biopsy technologies may help improve tumour monitoring
Results from two studies suggest that this approach is essential to refining liquid biopsy use in early cancer detection and to check tumour progression
Should cancer therapy be tailored based on receptor tyrosine kinase alterations?
Data from a molecular analysis of receptor tyrosine kinase-mutated cancers show a wide heterogeneity of alterations and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor monotherapy
Dynamic immunoediting of tumours may hold the clue to effective treatment with immunotherapy
Success of immunotherapy is tied to tumour evolution from early- to late-stages, as a study in non-small-cell lung cancer highlights
Molecular cancer early detection and prevention - an attainable goal?
Adoption of molecular-based early detection techniques in clinical practice depends on the success of large-scale clinical studies and cost barriers
New targets for off-the-shelf treatments open up the field of precision immunotherapy
The identification of mutation-derived neoantigens may help elicit antitumour immune responses in patients with cancer, but this approach is challenging
Improving the efficacy of engineered T-cells – from gene transfer to genome editing
A new level of sophistication, namely genome editing, is now available to help overcome previous hurdles with adoptive T-cell therapies
Cancer Control Principles
You are not your COI, but COI can make you
There is a misunderstanding in what financial conflict of interests do on single people and what system implications they may have

Artificial Intelligence: a ‘smart’ arrow in our quiver against cancer
Many studies presented at ESMO Congress 2022 show the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance personalised oncology
First-line triplet of TKI plus dual immunotherapy improves outcomes in renal cell carcinoma
Results from the COSMIC-313 trial show that adding cabozantinib to nivolumab plus ipilimumab prolongs progression-free survival, but also increases toxicity
Prostate cancer: data support adding ADT for patients undergoing post-operative radiotherapy
Results from the RADICALS-HD and PRESTO trials show encouraging metastasis-free and biochemical progression-free survival benefits with androgen deprivation therapy, but they are not practice-changing yet
