Liquid biopsy plays a growing role in early-stage lung cancer
Research is moving forward to understand the value of this blood-based technology as a prognostic tool
New data add to current knowledge on how to optimise treatment in EGFR-mutant NSCLC
The use of targeted agents in first and subsequent lines of therapy is improving outcomes in patients with mutated lung cancer progressing on standard chemotherapy, but a biomarker- or precision-guided approach is needed
Novel ALK-selective TKIs show early efficacy in advanced NSCLC with rare mutations
Further studies are needed to understand the position of the fourth-generation agents NVL-520 and NVL-655 in the treatment paradigm of mutated lung cancer
Long-term survival benefits reported with neoadjuvant immunotherapy combinations in stage III melanoma
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy combinations were associated with high long-term survival rates and were superior to adjuvant nivolumab in patients with resectable melanoma, according to a phase III study and analysis of pooled studies
Taxane- and anthracycline-sparing regimens show promise in high-risk, early-stage breast cancer
High rates of pathological complete response were reported with neoadjuvant datopotamab deruxtecan plus durvalumab in patients with specific subtypes of breast cancer and at high risk of recurrence
Study findings confirm the benefits of BRAF and MEK inhibitors in mutated non-small cell lung cancer
Longer duration of efficacy reported for encorafenib plus binimetinib as a treatment for NSCLC harbouring a BRAF V600 mutation
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has no role in the treatment of operable gastric cancer
Final late-phase trial results show that the addition of pre-operative chemoradiotherapy to peri-operative chemotherapy does not improve long-term outcomes in patients
First-line immunotherapy combination improves overall survival in HER2-positive metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma
Final analysis of the KEYNOTE-811 trial reports positive findings when adding pembrolizumab to trastuzumab and chemotherapy in treatment-naïve patients
Antibody–drug conjugates offer hope for patients with breast cancer including patients with brain metastases
New positive findings from research in advanced or metastatic breast cancer support the use of these agents in wider patient populations
Promising results reported for novel antiangiogenic agents for neuroendocrine tumours
The fields of metastatic pancreatic NETs and advanced and low proliferative grade 3 disease tumours move forward
