A phase II clinical trial led by Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University showed a combination of Keytruda (pembrolizumab) and Cabometyx (cabozantinib, also known as Cometriq) was well tolerated and benefitted 91% of participating patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Care for patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related squamous cell cancers of the oropharynx (an area in back of the throat) is shifting toward community cancer centers, but patients treated in this setting may be less likely to survive, according to new research by investigators from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Head and Neck Cancer Center.
