A study reveals new insights into resistance mechanisms to hormonal therapy in breast cancer
ESR1 variants show to be predictive of response to fulvestrant and novel mutations have been identified
TILs show long-term efficacy in melanoma, but predicting treatment response is still a challenge
After proof of efficacy in patients with melanoma in a clinical trial, major efforts are now directed to make the use of TILs easier and safer in clinical practice.
Improved results from cellular therapies thanks to AI and bioinformatic platforms
Positive signals from early-phase studies suggest that newer molecular technologies may help to disclose the promises of T-cell therapies in different settings
Invasive breast cancer: can surgery be eliminated after neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy?
Phase II data report a pathologic complete response in patients who received radiotherapy after neoadjuvant therapy without surgery, when selected by image-guided vacuum-assisted core biopsy
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
TIL therapy – an opportunity for a few centres?
Regulatory, practical and economic challenges are associated with implementing this personalised treatment on a larger scale, thus currently limiting its availability and accessibility to patients
Surgery remains the key to progression-free survival in ovarian sex cord-stromal tumours
Two studies presented by the French network TMRG-GINECO provide new insights into the treatment and quality of life of women with this rare cancer
CAR-T cell therapy in solid tumours: will we ever replicate the success rates achieved in blood cancers?
Despite early promises, advances are needed in targeting tumour-specific epitopes, overcoming the tumour microenvironment, and automating CAR-T production, explains Prof. Ulrike Köhl
