First-line selpercatinib prolongs PFS in RET-mutated medullary thyroid carcinoma
Study findings support routine RET-mutation testing for all patients with advanced MTC, but further work is needed to identify predictive markers
Tissue agnostic study shows activity of ADCs in solid tumours with HER2 activating mutations
In the DESTINY-PanTumour01 trial, promising response rates were seen with trastuzumab deruxtecan in heavily pre-treated patients with different cancer types
Disappointing results from immune checkpoint inhibition combined with androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer
Negative trials presented at the ESMO Congress 2023 suggest that a new treatment strategy may be required for patients with metastatic disease
Adjuvant alectinib is a new treatment strategy for resected ALK-positive NSCLC
Alectinib is the first ALK inhibitor to significantly improve DFS in a phase III trial across disease stages
RET inhibitor nearly doubled PFS in RET fusion-positive advanced/metastatic NSCLC
Results from the LIBRETTO-431 trial reinforce the use of selpercatinib as the first-line choice and are likely to widen patient access to treatment
Adding amivantamab to chemotherapy prolongs PFS in untreated EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated advanced NSCLC
The bispecific EGFR/MET-directed monoclonal antibody looks set to become the standard of care in this setting, but toxicity has to be managed carefully
New data support perioperative nivolumab for patients with resectable NSCLC
CheckMate 77T demonstrates significantly improved event-free survival with neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy followed by adjuvant nivolumab compared with chemotherapy and adjuvant placebo
Performance data from AI tools show progress in oncology
Cancer imaging and identification of predictive biomarkers are the best performed tasks reported in studies presented at ESMO Congress 2023
Therapies targeting the TIGIT and STING pathways hold therapeutic promise
Safety and efficacy data of some novel immunotherapy agents are encouraging, but more research is needed to identify biomarkers and the optimal treatment schedule
Adoptive cell therapy using TILs shows clinically meaningful and durable efficacy in advanced mucosal melanoma
Antitumour responses were consistent with those previously reported for a broader population of patients with advanced melanoma
