Dennis Cooper, MD, sheds light on the novel therapeutic regimens available to patients with multiple myeloma.

Chemotherapy has demonstrated mixed findings in patients with resectable colorectal hepatic metastases, and long-term data suggest incorporating it into treatment algorithms have little impact on overall survival.

As the State’s only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey will lead this effort.

Despite the failure of several strategies to improve the outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, there appears to be substantial and growing progress in the treatment of relapsed disease.

Patients with hematologic malignancies, which include cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes, have demonstrated a higher susceptibility to COVID-19 potentially because of inherent and cancer therapy–related immunosuppression.

The incidental identification of pancreatic cysts has become more common with the increasing use of imaging modalities in clinical practice.

Thanks to advances in research, targeted therapies, and a more personalized approach to treating patients diagnosed with breast cancer, more surgical options exist for patients with breast cancer patients than ever before.

Sarcomas, all together, have an incidence of less than 5/100,000 persons per year, according to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Compare that with breast cancer, which impacts 129.1/100,000 women per year, or lung cancer, which has an incidence of 53.1/100,000 persons per year
