Investigators Set Sights on Curative Approaches for Follicular Lymphoma

June 15th 2021

The majority of patients with indolent follicular lymphoma do well with observation and after first-line treatment, but approximately 20% experience disease progression within 2 years of their initial treatment, which is associated with a 50% risk of dying within 5 years. Subsequently, this is an area of unmet need but one in which considerable progress is being made.

Finding the Golden Ticket in Cholangiocarcinoma: Entering the Era of Precision Medicine

May 6th 2021

The highly heterogeneous nature of cholangiocarcinoma at the genomic, epigenetic, and molecular levels has led to the development of effective new treatments for patients with these rare malignant tumors.

Testing Picture Is Coming Into Sharper Focus for Familial and Hereditary Prostate Cancer

August 16th 2017

Research into the biology of prostate cancer has resulted in a growing understanding of the molecular drivers of the malignancy, resulting in a rapid evolution of genetic testing that is poised to revolutionize the diagnosis and care of at-risk men as well as those who have the disease.

Complex Scenarios in Advanced Melanoma: Examining Three Patient Cases

February 8th 2017

Despite significant developments on the advanced melanoma treatment front, “many clinical scenarios remain where there is no clear-cut course of action," said Robert H.I. Andtbacka, MD, CM, during a recent OncLive Peer Exchange®.

Challenges Persist in Deploying ADT in Prostate Cancer

January 11th 2017

In 1941, Charles Brenton Huggins, MD, observed that prostate cancer could be controlled by hormone-directed treatments, a discovery for which he was awarded half the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1966.

From Hospice to Remission: Hopes Remain High for CAR Therapies

October 28th 2016

Patients with advanced lymphoid malignancies have had few treatment options, particularly those with extensive, refractory disease. Allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been one life-prolonging and potentially curative option for these patients, but these procedures are associated with various toxicities and are not appropriate for all patients, with older adults and those with great- er disease burden often excluded as candidates.

Leading Researchers Dissect PD-1/PD-L1 Evidence in NSCLC

September 15th 2016

Although lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States and 5-year survival rates are low at 17.8%, the grim picture for this tumor type is starting to shift to a more hopeful one as its biology is becoming better understood, facilitating treatment selection and providing researchers with new therapeutic targets.

CRC Biomarkers Exert Growing Influence on Prognosis and Treatment

September 2nd 2016

Molecular testing for colorectal cancer continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Biomarkers already have the potential to predict outcomes and better target therapies, with the eventual goal to completely personalize treatments based on the patient’s individual biomarker profile and other tumor markers.
