New insights into pleural mesothelioma
Studies reveal promising evidence for the more precise tailoring of immunotherapy and the role of AI in improving response evaluation
Future holds significant potential for advancement in immunotherapy of brain tumours
Results presented from some studies are a signal of an active area of research which is investigating not only immune checkpoint inhibitors but also vaccines and cellular therapies, although there are no immunotherapy treatments currently approved.
Study results further support the use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in dMMR colon cancer
Three-year disease-free survival data from NICHE-2 and findings from NICHE-3 add to current knowledge on the benefits of immune checkpoint inhibition in this setting
Adding lenvatinib and pembrolizumab to transarterial chemoembolization improves progression-free survival in hepatocellular carcinoma
Positive data presented from the LEAP-012 study for intermediate-stage disease, but it is still unclear how these will influence clinical practice
Pembrolizumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy extends survival in locally advanced cervical cancer
New study findings support this treatment strategy as a new standard of care for patients with high-risk, locally advanced cervical cancer
Addition of immunotherapy to chemotherapy improves progression-free survival in anal canal
The PODIUM-303 study shows practice-changing results for patients with unresectable locally recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal
KRAS and TP53 may have a key role in the development of pancreatic cancer
Studies provide new insights into the driver landscape of these gastrointestinal tumours and show improved prediction of patient-specific outcomes.
Five-year PFS results show advantage for niraparib maintenance in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, with no OS benefit
Patients with homologous-recombination-deficient advanced ovarian cancer alive at 5 years were twice as likely to be progression free with niraparib than placebo, although no long-term overall survival benefit was reported
Breastfeeding after breast cancer is feasible and safe
New data show that it does not increase the risk of breast cancer recurrence or development of secondary breast cancer in women, nor does it carry any health risks for the child
Leveraging team science to exploit the tumour’s ‘Achilles heel’ with PARP inhibition: a journey of discovery and perseverance
Extensive research identified the deficiency of a highly accurate DNA repair process known as homologous recombination as an ‘Achilles heel’ in cancer, and led to the development of PARP inhibitors as single-agent therapies
