Sustained benefits of neoadjuvant immunotherapy demonstrated in resectable melanoma
Longer follow-up from two studies supports neoadjuvant over adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibition in patients with resectable melanoma and clinically or radiologically detectable metastasis, plus useful insights gained from biomarker analyses will help refine treatment strategies

Promising novel strategies to boost anticancer immunity in NECs
Despite the presentation of encouraging study findings with novel immunotherapy-based therapies, long-term outcomes are needed to better understand the magnitude of clinical benefit and many questions remain around off-target toxicity and the identification of patients most likely to respond to treatment

Novel immunotherapy combinations address unmet needs in liver cancers
Potentially practice-changing data were presented for atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, and camrelizumab plus rivoceranib in hepatocellular carcinoma

Research in pancreatic adenocarcinoma targets antibody-drug conjugates and oncolytic viruses
While telisotuzumab adizutecan demonstrated early antitumour activity, only modest benefits were seen with VCN-01 added to standard care

Disitamab vedotin plus immunotherapy almost doubles overall survival in advanced HER2 expressing urothelial cancer
The combination, incorporating the novel antibody–drug conjugate, may transform first-line treatment in the setting, but crucial issues need to be addressed

Triple combination with radioligand therapy improves radiographic progression-free survival in metastatic prostate cancer
Presidential Symposium presentation provides insights into the role of 177Lu-PSMA-617 in the treatment of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, with results also presented in castration-resistant disease

Sacituzumab tirumotecan offers a promising new option for pre-treated EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer
Phase III data show significant survival improvements with the TROP2-directed antibody–drug conjugate after progression on EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors

Immunotherapy combinations enhance radiotherapy response in resectable sarcoma
Effective biomarkers and histology-focused enrichment trials are now needed to further improve patient outcomes

First-line ivonescimab plus chemotherapy improves progression-free survival in squamous NSCLC
Robust efficacy findings and unexpectedly low haemorrhagic events were observed with the bispecific antibody but results will only change practice if benefits translate into overall survival and are replicated beyond China

Novel treatment strategies investigated for thymic epithelial tumours lead to uncertain benefits
Rivoceranib after prior therapy and peri-operative pembrolizumab demonstrates promising efficacy but it is not superior to the current standard therapy
