FRESCO-2: Fruquintinib improves OS in heavily pretreated mCRC

30 Nov 2022 by

Fruquintinib, a highly selective and potent oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR*-1, -2, and -3, significantly improves overall survival (OS) in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), according to the FRESCO-2** trial presented at ESMO 2022.

Lung fibrosis extent on quantified CT predicts survival in IPF

29 Nov 2022

The extent of fibrotic abnormality on baseline computed tomography (CT), quantified using data-driven texture analysis (DTA), is predictive of outcomes in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), regardless of pulmonary function, suggests a study.

High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy better than CPAP in preterm infants

29 Nov 2022 by

Compared with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), respiratory support using high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HNFC) appears to yield better clinical outcomes in preterm infants, according to a recent meta-analysis.
