Depression and anxiety can play a significant role in how patients with cancer view cancer clinical trials, ultimately leading to low enrollment

Vic-trastuzumab duocarmazine yielded an improved progression-free survival over standard physician’s choice chemotherapy in patients with pretreated HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Cabozantinib as a second-line treatment showed improved overall survival outcomes compared with second-line axitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

The clinical response to sotorasib could vary in patients with KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer depending on their co-mutational status.

With more oral cancer therapies available, the importance of medication adherence and education must be recognized.

Neurologic adverse effect associated with CAR T-cell therapies like ciltacabtagene autoleucel can be managed without long-term lasting effects, as long as they are caught and treated promptly in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The BCMA-targeting humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody elranatamab elicited high response rates when subcutaneously delivered at higher doses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Larotrectinib has demonstrated efficacious responses and disease control in patients with TRK fusion–positive central nervous system tumors.

The addition of nivolumab to either ipilimumab or chemotherapy resulted in improved survival outcomes vs chemotherapy alone in the frontline treatment of patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

February 11, 2021 - Eganelisib, a novel PI3K-y inhibitor, demonstrated higher responses rates with nivolumab in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

February 2, 2021 - Virtual prehabilitation could potentially improve physical activity level and exercise capacity in patients with lung cancer before they undergo surgery for their disease.

January 28, 2021- Patients with non-small cell lung cancer who experience immune-related adverse events may have better survival outcomes than those without.

January 15, 2021 - A novel artificial intelligence-based search tool made it easier for patients to find and understand cancer clinical trials, while also offering more clarity on how to enroll in them

Young Hope Rugo saved up her S&H Green Stamps to buy a children’s chemistry set from a Sears catalog. At the age of 8, Rugo knew she wanted to be a scientist.

Weekly dose-dense chemotherapy is not superior to standard 3 weekly chemotherapy for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer when it comes to progression-free survival and overall survival, though the regimen is safe and effective.

Genetic testing is more important now than ever before, as biomarker-driven cancer treatments continue to receive approval across many tumor types.

Teclistamab (JNJ-64007957) appeared to be a safe and efficacious treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Zanubrutinib demonstrated a higher complete response or very good partial response rate compared with ibrutinib in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia, although the findings were not found to be statistically significant.

A lower dose of oxaliplatin and capecitabine had comparable efficacy and minimized adverse events in elderly and frail patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer.

Many younger patients see more than one doctor and face misdiagnoses before being given a diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
