Among older adults undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer, employing the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol leads to a shorter postoperative hospital stay without introducing new safety signals, a recent study has found.

In the final progression-free survival (PFS) analysis of the GEMSTONE-301 study, sugemalimab demonstrated sustained efficacy and safety as consolidation treatment for individuals with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease had not progressed following either concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) or sequential CRT (sCRT).

Robust older women with early breast cancer who have high prechemotherapy levels of both interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are >3 times more likely to experience chemotherapy-induced decline in frailty status than their counterparts with low levels of these inflammatory markers, a prospective study has shown.

In men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (M0CRPC), the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time and the time to castration resistance (TTCRPC) predict cancer-specific survival (CSS), a recent study has found.

Maintenance therapy with the PARP* inhibitor niraparib led to a sustained and durable progression-free survival (PFS), regardless of biomarker status, in patients with primary advanced ovarian cancer who responded to platinum-based chemotherapy, an updated analysis of the phase III PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 trial has shown.

In the updated analysis of the POSEIDON trial presented at ESMO 2022, the combination regimen comprising tremelimumab, durvalumab, and chemotherapy (T+D+CT) used in the first-line setting conferred long-term overall survival (OS) benefit in individuals with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC).

In prostate cancer patients, the initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) lowers the concentrations of 13 circulating steroids, according to a new study.
