Adding the PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody cadonilimab to chemotherapy improves overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in individuals with untreated, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer, including patients with PD-L1–low tumours, according to the interim results of the phase III COMPASSION-15 trial.

Adding immunotherapy to the first-line treatment for advanced and metastatic endometrial cancer may significantly improve some oncologic outcomes, particularly within the mismatch repair deficiency/microsatellite instability-hypermutated (MMRd/MSI-H) subset, suggests a study.

A large percentage of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) respond to the bispecific antibody linvoseltamab, with deep and durable responses seen even in the high-risk subgroups, according to data from the phase I/II LINKER-MM1 trial.

Several patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) discontinue the use of androgen receptor‒targeted therapies (ARTs) because of disease progression, while a few stopped ARTs due to treatment toxicity, according to a study.

Hematochezia and abdominal pain are strong indicators of colorectal cancer (CRC), with the likelihood of CRC increasing by up to six- and 54-fold in the presence of such symptoms, according to a meta-analysis.

First-line treatment with tislelizumab plus chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma yields better overall survival and an acceptable safety profile compared with chemotherapy plus placebo in patients with a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumour area positivity (TAP) score of ≥5 percent, a study has shown.
