Patients with inoperable limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) are treated with chemoradiation, but prognosis is limited. In a trial with 730 such patients who had not experienced progression after chemoradiation, the checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab improved median overall survival compared with placebo (56 versus 33 months), without added toxicity. For patients with LS-SCLC who have not experienced progression after concurrent chemoradiation, we now recommend durvalumab consolidation.

FRUQUINTINIB(FRUZAQLA/ELUNATE) is the first targeted therapy approved for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) Regardless of biomarker status or prior types of therapies in more than a decade. FRUQUINTINIB(FRUZAQLA/ELUNATE) plus best supportive care demonstrated significant improvements in overall survival, with corresponding improvements in progression-free survival, versus placebo plus best supportive care in two phase 3 clinical trials. FRUQUINTINIB(FRUZAQLA/ELUNATE) demonstrated a manageable safety profile in previously treated patients with mCRC across both trials.

Learn more about advancements in MSS colorectal cancer treatment from Dr. Daneng Li, who discusses the promising outcomes of our phase 1b/2 study of our masked, anti-CTLA-4 ADG126 in combination with pembrolizumab presented earlier this year. With a favorable safety profile and ~22% ORR, this combo showed potential to significantly widen the therapeutic index for MSS CRC patients and improve survival outcomes. Don't miss Dr. Li's insights on these early outcomes and their significance ahead of more updates at ESMO Congress 2024: https://loom.ly/4FYKRHE #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #Oncology

A recent retrospective cohort study (DOI: 10.1245/s10434-024-15314-9) delves into initial tumor reduction (ITR) as a decisive prognostic marker in esophageal squamous cell cancer treatment 🏥🔍. Tracking 150 patients, the study established that an ITR ≥10% correlates with enhanced survival and treatment efficacy post-chemotherapy 📈. The findings suggest incorporating ITR measurement in clinical evaluations to refine ESCC treatment strategies, marking a step forward in precision oncology and personalized healthcare 🧬🎗️. #MedicalResearch #EsophagealCancer #PersonalizedMedicine #OncologyInnovation

Our metaanaylsis published today: Our meta-analysis delves into the safety and efficacy of polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) in treating BRCA-mutated breast cancer. After analyzing six randomized control trials with 3610 patients, we found that PARPi therapy significantly improves progression-free survival (HR: 0.64) and overall survival (HR: 0.84) compared to standard chemotherapy or placebo. Importantly, while PARPi increases the risk of anemia (RR: 6.17), it does not heighten the risk of other adverse events. Bravo to Zaheer Qureshi and team! Remember, true success is always a collective achievement.
