MD Anderson Cancer Center researchers have identified recent developments in effective combination therapies for patients with BRAF V600E mutations, an approach to identify cancer biomarkers in extracellular vesicles, therapeutic strategies for improving treatment responses in non-small cell lung cancer, and a novel combination therapy to overcome treatment resistance in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Tagrisso (osimertinib) plus chemotherapy delivers a statistically significant and clinically meaningful survival benefit compared to Tagrisso monotherapy in the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, according to results from the final overall survival analysis of the FLAURA2 phase III trial.
