Dietary ALA intake may lower risks of all-cause, CVD, CHD mortality
Dietary intake of alpha linolenic acid (ALA) appears to reduce the risk of mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and coronary heart disease (CHD) but may slightly increase the risk of cancer mortality, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis. Moreover, an association exists between higher blood levels of ALA and a lower risk of all-cause and CHD mortality.

Adjuvant atezolizumab improves DFS in early-stage NSCLC
In patients with completely resected stage II–IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had previously received adjuvant cisplatin chemotherapy, adjuvant atezolizumab extended disease-free survival (DFS), particularly in those with PD-L1 expression ≥1 percent on tumour cells, interim results of the phase III IMpower010 trial showed.

Durvalumab + tremelimumab + chemo: A new first-line SoC for mNSCLC?
The combination of durvalumab, tremelimumab, and chemotherapy in the first-line setting improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC), according to results of the phase III POSEIDON trial.

Everolimus helps fight recurrent thymic neuroendocrine neoplasia
Treatment with everolimus appears to have beneficial effects on recurrent thymic neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN), particularly well-differentiated tumours, with patients having a low Ki-67 index more likely to have a better outcome with the drug, as shown in a small study.

Minimally invasive surgery feasible for nonendometroid endometrial cancers
Minimally invasive surgery for nonendometrioid endometrial cancer performs comparably as open surgery, yielding similar survival outcomes, a recent study has found.
