Rucaparib maintains PFS benefit at 4 years in stage III/IV ovarian cancer
Treatment with rucaparib in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer provides long-term improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) both in those with high and low risk of disease progression, as shown in the updated PFS analyses of the ATHENA-MONO study.

Adding anlotinib to gefitinib improves PFS in treatment-naïve Chinese patients with EGFRmut NSCLC
Adding anlotinib to gefitinib significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) in treatment-naïve Chinese patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFRmut) advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to the results of the FL-ALTER phase III study.

Transplant-ineligible myeloma: Daratumumab added to VCD deepens haematological response, improves PFS
Addition of daratumumab to the bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (VCD) regimen provides deeper haematological responses and improves progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with newly diagnosed myeloma who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), according to the results of the AMaRC 03-16 phase II study.

Chemo plus atezolizumab improves survival while preserving life quality in advanced EC
Treatment with carboplatin-paclitaxel (CP) plus atezolizumab results in better quality-adjusted survival in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) as compared with CP alone, according to a post hoc analysis of the AtTEnd/ENGOT-EN7 trial.

Navitoclax–ruxolitinib combo doubles spleen response rates in myelofibrosis
In untreated myelofibrosis, using navitoclax in combination with ruxolitinib appears to result in a twofold increase in the number of patients experiencing spleen volume shrinkage, regardless of prognosis, according to updated data from the phase III TRANSFORM-1 trial.

AI improves physician accuracy in identifying prostate cancer extent
Use of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted cancer contours helps minimize underestimation of the extent of prostate cancer, thereby improving the physician’s ability in terms of contouring accuracy and negative margin rate, a study has shown.
