A new clinical trial update shows that oxitinib (known as Teresa, or 9291) nearly doubled disease-free survival and halved post-operative recurrence rates in lung cancer patients carrying an early stage EGFR mutation!
The Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute is a non-profit cancer treatment and research centre established in 1981 by the Florida Legislature and opened on the campus of the University of South Florida in October 1986.
The US FDA approved the ADC drug gosatumumab (Trodelvy) for the treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. In the trial, the drug significantly extended the overall survival of patients and reduced the risk of death by 21%.
New research confirms that the innovative treatment Zolbetuximab, in combination with chemotherapy, is highly effective in the treatment of gastric cancer, especially in advanced stages, and is expected to be a potential new treatment for patients with gastric cancer.
The trial is testing the effectiveness of two chemotherapy drugs, oxaliplatin and gemcitabine, in combination with radiotherapy, an approach that has been used to treat other aggressive tumours
Recent findings show that the use of cutting-edge immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (referred to as immunotherapy in this article) has increased rapidly over the past decade in the population of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the survival benefit is more pronounced in younger people than in older people, who have limited survival benefit with this therapy.
A new generation of oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, elastostat, has shown promise in clinical studies over standard second-line treatments such as fulvestrant for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
MD Anderson Cancer Center, founded in 1941, is a world-renowned oncology hospital located in Houston, Texas, USA, and was one of the three early comprehensive cancer treatment centres designated by the National Cancer Initiative in 1971. It is one of the first three comprehensive cancer treatment centres designated by the National Cancer Initiative in 1971, and one of 39 comprehensive cancer treatment centres designated by the Medical Oncology Society, and is recognised as a good cancer hospital.
A three-drug combination regimen significantly prolongs survival in patients with HPV-positive cancers, new data from a clinical trial shows. For patients who had not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, it resulted in significant tumour shrinkage in 88% of patients, and even in patients who failed immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, 63% had significant tumour shrinkage.
Researchers at the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have now identified a new treatment that promises to help cancer patients with bone marrow transplants manage side effects better than current standard therapies, making the treatment more effective and safer.
