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
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
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
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
