Extended safety information and PROs data support key trial results in metastatic breast cancer
Data presentations from DESTINY-Breast04, DESTINY-Breast02 and EMERALD trials confirm the value of trastuzumab deruxtecan and elacestrant in this setting, despite moderate drop-out rates for PROs
Challenging past dogma in breast cancer research – what's next?
In her keynote lecture, recipient of the ESMO Breast Cancer Award 2023, Prof. Sara A. Hurvitz talks of the need to challenge accepted paradigms to progress clinical research
Breast cancer leads the way in ADC therapy
Lessons learned from the use of second-generation antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) in breast cancer can direct treatment in other tumour types
Cemiplimab survival improvements in NSCLC are durable
Extended analyses from two regulatory phase III trials show that the benefits of anti-PD-1-based therapy persist long term, even in patients with brain metastases
New insights into targeting KRAS G12C mutations in NSCLC
Data from two studies improve knowledge of how to treat patients with a disease harbouring this molecular alteration and how to monitor response to treatment
Second-line atezolizumab plus cabozantinib fails to improve overall survival in metastatic NSCLC
Final OS analysis of the phase III CONTACT-01 trial reports negative results for immunotherapy versus docetaxel in patients progressing on checkpoint inhibitors plus chemotherapy
Long-term event-free survival benefits of neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy for resectable NSCLC
Additional exploratory analyses of the phase III CheckMate 816 trial reveal that event-free survival at 3 years is not influenced by surgical parameters and suggest that tumour inflammation may be a useful predictive biomarker
Amivantamab efficacy in pretreated NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations persists long term
Updated results from the CHRYSALIS trial also suggest a number of biomarkers predictive of sustained clinical benefit with the EGFR–MET bispecific antibody
Sotorasib improved QoL versus docetaxel in previously treated KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC
Patients consider side-effects of the KRAS G12C inhibitor to be more tolerable and to have less interference on their lives than those due to docetaxel
Clean air is essential to prevent lung cancer
ESMO is contributing to making European Union legislation stricter on exposure limits for air pollution and asbestos to prevent new lung cancer cases
