Personalized Approaches Redefine Treatment for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Metastatic pancreatic cancer treatment is increasingly personalized, considering tumor biology, patient health, and treatment goals. Assessing comorbidities, nutrition, and performance status helps guide therapy intensity, while molecular testing—including BRCA and RAS mutations—identifies actionable targets. The FDA-approved NALIRIFOX regimen (liposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-FU, leucovorin) demonstrated improved outcomes over gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel in the NAPOLI 3 trial. Compared […]

Neladalkib Shows Strong and Durable Responses in ALK-Positive Solid Tumors

Neladalkib (NVL-655) has shown strong results in patients with ALK-positive solid tumors, according to new data from the phase 1/2 ALKOVE-1 study. The drug achieved a 44% overall response rate among 34 patients, including 69% in those who had never received an ALK inhibitor and 29% in those previously treated with one. Responses appeared quickly,

FDA Approves Libtayo for High-Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma After Surgery

The FDA has approved Libtayo (cemiplimab-rwlc) for adjuvant treatment of adults with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) at high risk of recurrence after surgery and radiation. Approval was based on the phase 3 C-POST trial of 415 patients, which showed significantly improved disease-free survival with Libtayo versus placebo. Median disease-free survival was not reached in

Common Nutritional Aid Shows Promise in Strengthening Cancer Therapy

A new study from University of Chicago, published in Cell Reports Medicine, suggests that zeaxanthin, a plant carotenoid known for eye health, may also boost the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. The compound enhances CD8+ T cells, the body’s tumor-killing immune cells, by stabilizing their T-cell receptor (TCR) complex, leading to stronger activation and

Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) Therapy for NSCLC

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy is a personalized immunotherapy that uses a patient’s own immune cells to fight cancer. T cells are collected from a tumor, expanded in the lab using growth factors like Interleukin-2, and reinfused after lymphodepleting chemotherapy, followed by additional IL-2 support to boost activity. This approach is promising for non-small cell lung
