Phase 3 Trial Shows Survival Benefit for Zanzalintinib Combination in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The Phase 3 STELLAR-303 trial tested zanzalintinib plus atezolizumab against regorafenib in patients with previously treated, non-MSI-high metastatic colorectal cancer. The study produced mixed results but achieved its main goal in the overall patient population. The combination did not significantly improve overall survival in patients without active liver metastases, although survival was longer than with […]

Neoadjuvant Treatment Expands Surgical Options for Pancreatic Cancer Patients

A growing body of evidence shows that starting treatment before surgery, known as a neoadjuvant-first approach, is helping more patients with locally advanced or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer become eligible for surgery and achieve longer survival. Experts emphasize that the best outcomes come from combining chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and multidisciplinary care rather than relying on

Six-Year GARNET Data Show Lasting Survival Benefits With Dostarlimab in Endometrial Cancer

Six-year follow-up data from the GARNET trial show that the immunotherapy drug Dostarlimab-gxly continues to provide durable benefits for patients with advanced or recurrent dMMR/MSI-H endometrial cancer who previously had limited treatment options after platinum-based chemotherapy. At a median follow-up of nearly 69 months, the overall response rate remained 45.5%, while complete responses increased from

New Insights Into B Cells and Tertiary Lymphoid Structures May Unlock Better Immunotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer

Researchers are gaining new insights into why pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the deadliest forms of cancer, remains highly resistant to immunotherapy. A recent review highlights the complex roles of tumor-infiltrating B cells (TIBs) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs), which can either support or suppress the body’s immune response against cancer. The analysis found

Nivolumab Shows Potential to Replace Surgery in Some Patients With dMMR Endometrial Cancer

Results from the Phase 2 NIVEC trial suggest that neoadjuvant nivolumab (Opdivo) may offer a highly effective treatment option for patients with stage I to III resectable mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR) endometrial cancer. Among 22 patients treated with nivolumab before surgery, 68.2% achieved a clinical complete response, with no evidence of cancer detected on imaging or

TRIDENT Trial Finds Early TTFields Start Does Not Improve Survival in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

Results from the Phase 3 TRIDENT trial showed that starting Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) at the beginning of chemoradiotherapy did not significantly improve overall survival compared with starting the therapy during the standard maintenance phase for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The study enrolled 981 patients who received TTFields either alongside radiation and temozolomide chemotherapy

Palbociclib Plus Anastrozole Shows Promising Activity and Quality-of-Life Benefits in Advanced Endometrial Cancer

A Phase 2 study presented at the 2026 ESMO Gynaecological Cancers Congress showed that the combination of palbociclib (Ibrance) and anastrozole may provide an effective treatment option for patients with recurrent or metastatic estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, low-grade endometrioid endometrial cancer. Among 25 patients enrolled, the objective response rate was 32% at three months, including one

New Strategies Boost CAR T-Cell Therapy Effectiveness in Pancreatic Cancer

A new study published in Clinical Cancer Research highlights several strategies that could improve CAR T-cell therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a cancer that has remained largely resistant to immunotherapy. Researchers tested a mesothelin-targeting CAR T-cell treatment in combination with different approaches designed to overcome the tumor’s protective barriers. One strategy used aderbasib to prevent

HLA-Mismatched NK Cell Therapy Shows Promise Against Pancreatic Cancer

A new study has identified a promising strategy to improve natural killer (NK) cell therapy for pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant cancers. Pancreatic tumors often evade immune attack by using HLA class I molecules to suppress NK cell activity, allowing cancer cells to survive and grow. Researchers found that using HLA-mismatched

COLIBRI Trial Shows Strong Long-Term Survival With Immunotherapy Plus Chemoradiation in Cervical Cancer

Updated results from the Phase 2 COLIBRI trial suggest that adding immunotherapy before and after standard chemoradiation can significantly improve outcomes for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. After a median follow-up of about 40 months, the treatment achieved a 3-year progression-free survival rate of 83% and an overall survival rate of 90%. Patients with
