Cancer patients who are being treated with chemotherapy are susceptible to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), and they continue to experience these side effects despite being administered with antiemetics, a study has shown.

Supplementation with ginseng appears to provide protective benefits against early cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction caused by doxorubicin and may help prevent early decline in left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with breast cancer, suggests a study.

Patients with moderate-to-severe rosacea may benefit from treatment with 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT), which has shown its efficacy and noninferiority to minocycline in a recent study.

Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are more likely to develop in metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with certain prognostic characteristics, suggests a study. Interestingly, those who develop irAEs benefit from a much longer overall survival (OS) and time to next treatment when mitigating immortal time bias.

Treatment with canakinumab appears beneficial to patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with low T-cell infiltration (ie, low total count or immune desert phenotype), results of predefined exploratory biomarker analyses from the CANOPY-1 have shown.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) liraglutide and semaglutide are both effective at lowering haemoglobin A1c (A1c) among veterans with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), reports a recent study, which provides insights into key considerations for this population.
