Advancing pediatric oncology and survivorship: A research vision at City of Hope

In the evolving landscape of pediatric oncology, survivorship research has become an essential component of our mission to improve long-term patient outcomes. At City of Hope, we are focused on not only curing childhood cancers but also ensuring that survivors live the healthiest lives possible. A significant part of my research has been dedicated to mitigating the long-term toxicities of cancer therapy—particularly cardiovascular complications that can arise decades after treatment.

Chadi Nabhan: Why I wrote a book about cancer

Novartis announced results from an updated analysis of the pivotal phase III NATALEE trial of Kisqali (ribociclib) that underscore the extended efficacy beyond the duration of treatment in combination with endocrine therapy. Results showed a sustained reduction in distant recurrence of 28.5% (HR=0.715; 95% CI 0.604-0.847; nominal P<0.0001), compared to ET alone, in patients with stage II and III hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer.
