Studies show two promising new immune-related targets in cancer
Agents targeting B7-H3 and CEACAM6 pass their initial clinical tests, according to results from first-in-human trials
Short durvalumab infusions appear to be safe for the first-line treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer
Early results from a phase III trial support 30-minutes infusions of immunotherapy with some advantages for patients
