Gedatolisib Regimens Significantly Extend Survival in Advanced Breast Cancer

The phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 trial showed that treatment regimens including gedatolisib significantly improved outcomes for patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative, and PIK3CA wild-type metastatic breast cancer that had progressed after CDK4/6 inhibitor therapy. Patients who received the triplet regimen (gedatolisib, palbociclib, and fulvestrant) had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 9.3 months compared to 2.0 […]

Toripalimab (Loqtorzi) Approved as First Immunotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Toripalimab-tpzi (Loqtorzi) has been approved as the first and only immunotherapy for recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). It can be used in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine as a first-line treatment for metastatic or recurrent locally advanced NPC, or as a single drug for patients whose disease has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. The

Clearing ctDNA After Therapy Linked to Longer Survival in Colorectal Cancer

The INTERCEPT CRC study showed that clearing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after adjuvant therapy is a powerful indicator of better outcomes in patients with resectable stage I–IV colorectal cancer. Researchers found that among patients who were ctDNA-positive after surgery, 26% achieved ctDNA clearance following adjuvant treatment. These patients had significantly longer disease-free survival compared to

Montanide ISA-51 Emerges as a Key Adjuvant, Driving Success in Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine Trials

Montanide ISA-51 is a water-in-oil emulsion adjuvant derived from Freund’s incomplete adjuvant and is designed to enhance immune responses in cancer vaccines with lower toxicity. It works by forming an oil depot at the injection site, allowing slow and sustained release of the antigen for prolonged immune stimulation. This process recruits immune cells like dendritic

Suppressor Cells Linked to Bladder Cancer Progression and Treatment Resistance

Bladder cancer (BCa) is classified by tumor spread: non-muscle invasive (~75%), muscle-invasive (~20%), and metastatic (~5%). Non-muscle invasive BCa is treated with transurethral resection (TURBT), often followed by a single chemotherapy dose for low-risk cases or Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy for higher-risk patients. BCG can cause toxicity and recurrence remains high. Muscle-invasive disease is treated

Nanotechnology Paves the Way for Next-Generation Skin Cancer Treatments

Skin cancer includes melanoma (MSC) and non-melanoma types (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Melanoma is less common but more deadly, with about 324,000 new cases and 57,000 deaths annually. NMSCs are far more common, especially BCC, though SCC causes most related deaths. Conventional treatments like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy,

Cadonilimab Plus Chemotherapy Extends Survival in Advanced Gastric and GEJ Cancer, Phase 3 Trial Confirms

The final results of the Phase 3 COMPASSION-15 trial confirmed that cadonilimab, a bispecific PD-1/CTLA-4 antibody, combined with XELOX chemotherapy offers a significant long-term survival benefit for patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma compared to XELOX alone. After a median follow-up of 33.9 months, patients treated with cadonilimab plus XELOX achieved a

FDA Approves Y-90 Microspheres for Unresectable Liver Cancer with 98.5% Response Rate

The FDA has approved SIR-Spheres Y-90 resin microspheres for treating patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who meet specific clinical criteria, such as no macrovascular invasion, Child-Pugh A cirrhosis, and well-compensated liver function. The approval is supported by the DOORwaY90 study, a multicenter trial evaluating Y-90 as a first-line therapy for unresectable HCC. Results were

Scientists Uncover RNA-Driven Mechanism Behind Rare Kidney Cancer

Scientists have uncovered how a rare and aggressive kidney cancer, translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC), develops. This cancer, mainly affecting children and young adults, is caused by abnormal hybrid genes called TFE3 oncofusions. These genes hijack the cell’s machinery to form liquid-like structures, or “droplet hubs,” inside the nucleus. RNA, instead of only carrying genetic

CAR T-Cell Therapies Redefine Treatment for Relapsed Large B-Cell Lymphoma

A new treatment era has begun for patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) following the FDA approval of the CAR T-cell therapies axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) and lisocabtagene maraleucel (Breyanzi). Both therapies have proven superior to the previous standard treatment of salvage chemotherapy followed by transplant. In major clinical trials, axi-cel showed a
