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
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
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
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
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

Novel immunotherapeutics suggest promise in high-grade gliomas
Results from early-phase studies reveal potential for a new cancer vaccine and adaptive immunotherapy
Further support for durvalumab consolidation as a new standard of care in limited-stage SCLC
Subgroup analyses from the ADRIATIC study support previous practice-changing findings
Multi-gene ctDNA profiling effectively matches patients with advanced cancer to targeted therapies
