Cancer survivors who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or anything other than straight and cisgender experience more chronic health conditions, disabilities, and other physical and cognitive limitations than non-LGBTQ+ cancer survivors; however, the prevalence of most conditions was highest among transgender or gender non-conforming individuals, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology published an updated clinical guideline in Practical Radiation Oncology that details best practices for using radiation therapy to treat patients who have oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma caused by the human papilloma virus.
In the phase III STARGLO study of Columvi (glofitamab-gxbm) in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) versus Rituxan (rituximab) in combination with GemOx (R-GemOx) for people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who have received at least one prior line of therapy and are not candidates for autologous stem cell transplant, or who have received two or more prior lines of therapy, the Columvi regiment extended overall survival.
The phase II MagnetisMM-3 study of Elrexfio (elranatamab-bcmm) in patients with heavily pretreated relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma demonstrated a median OS of 24.6 (95% CI, 13.4, NE) months in cohort A (n=123) of the pivotal single arm trial.
NIH researchers have developed a non-chemotherapy treatment regimen that is achieving full remissions for some people with aggressive B-cell lymphoma that has come back or is no longer responding to standard treatments. The five-drug combination targets multiple molecular pathways that diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tumors use to survive.
Friends of Cancer Research characterized postmarketing requirements and commitments over the last decade. The perspective article, titled “An evaluation of novel oncology approvals with a PMR/C for assessing data in racial and ethnic populations underrepresented in premarket clinical trials,” provides insights into FDA’s expectations for representation of race and ethnicity in oncology clinical trials.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center’s Sol Goldman Pancreatic Cancer Research Center have developed a 3D genomic profiling technique to identify small precancerous lesions in the pancreas—called pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias—that lead to one of the most aggressive, deadly pancreatic cancers.
NLRC5 plays a previously unknown role as an innate immune sensor, triggering cell death, according to new research from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The findings, published in Cell, show how NLRC5 drives PANoptosis, a prominent type of inflammatory cell death.
Adding CD28 costimulation to cord blood-derived chimeric antigen receptor natural killer cells targeting CD70+ cancers significantly enhanced antitumor efficacy and long-term cytotoxicity of the CAR NK cells, according to researchers from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Fewer than one in five eligible individuals in the United States are up-to-date with recommended lung cancer screening, according to a study led by American Cancer Society researchers.
