Epigenomic platform may predict NSCLC immunotherapy response using liquid biopsies

When did stage 3B lung cancer become “early stage”?

My recent column about Merck’s television commercial for perioperative Keytruda left me with a question I could not shake.

UT Austin study uncovers new driver of immunotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic tumors can resist immunotherapy by recruiting nearby immune cells to help protect them, according to researchers at The University of Texas at Austin. The findings, published in Nature Communications, also point to a potential new strategy for overcoming resistance and improving cellular therapies.

Salk institue team discovers novel pathway, provides insights to combat immunotherapy resistance

Why do signaling proteins called interferons, which recruit the immune system to attack cancer cells, start helping the tumor grow rather than shrink when they linger too long?

Zipalertinib + chemo meets primary endpoint in phase III REZILIENT3 trial in first-line EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation NSCLC

The REZILIENT3 trial, a global phase III clinical trial evaluating the combination of zipalertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in the first-line treatment of adult patients with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertion mutations, met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival at a planned interim analysis.
