At #ASCO25, key neuro-oncology presentations explored focused ultrasound to enhance drug delivery, the benefits of maximal surgical resection in IDH-mutant gliomas, and final CATNON data supporting adjuvant temozolomide. Other highlights included improved cognitive outcomes with stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases and early results from a novel gamma delta T cell therapy.
Key points Olutasidenib induces durable responses in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations in the phase I and II clinical trials. The side effects of olutasidenib are well known and ...
In the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology, we are pleased to present a collection of articles that delve into the latest research and advancements in the field. From innovative therapies and genetic treatments to analyses of digital ...
The management of children with diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) and other paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) continue to present one of the most difficult challenges facing paediatric oncologists, characterized by poor patient outcomes.1Â Standard of care therapy, which includes a maximal ...
Adult-type diffuse low-glade gliomas (LGGs) (World Health Organization [WHO] grade 2) represent 5–10% of all primary brain tumours.1 The median age of onset is in the third and fourth decades of life. Common clinical presentations include seizures, focal neurological deficits, and new-onset ...
Welcome to the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology, which features some of the recent key developments in oncological and haematological disease. The journal opens with an expert interview with Linda Martin on a new fluorescent imaging agent ...
Paediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) most commonly develop in the cerebellum and can be resected safely, with minimal neurological complications and long-term cure achieved following surgery alone.1Â However, a large proportion of pLGGs that develop in other parts of the brain ...
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) comprise a heterogenous group of malignancies with diverse clinical behaviour determined by tumour characteristics such as grade, differentiation and primary tumour origin.1 While neuroendocrine carcinomas are poorly differentiated aggressive malignancies, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) tend to be ...
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a cytogenetic, epigenetic, and immunological heterogeneous group of myeloid disorders characterized by dysplastic hematopoeisis and propensity for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) transformation.1,2 The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program estimates that risk factors for the ...
Cancer immunotherapy has come of age and has successfully been implemented as the standard of care in a number of oncologic indications.1 Antibodies targeting cancer-associated antigens on the tumour cell, such as CD20, constituted the first wave of immunotherapies leading ...
Despite substantial advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, the long-term survival rate for many cancer patients remains dismal.1 More than 90% of cancer-related mortality is ascribed to disease resurgence months or years after adjuvant therapy, either in the form of local ...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although they have been recognized as a distinct entity for several decades, it has only been over the past 10–15 years that these tumors have been ...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although they have been recognized as a distinct entity for several decades, it has only been over the past 10–15 years that these tumors have been ...
Clinical trials have long been dominated by clinically based endpoints such as overall survival (OS) and Progression-free survival (PFS) to measure the effectiveness of a treatment. A five-year OS rate, for example, indicates the percentage of patients alive after five ...
Glioblastoma Multiforme Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant of the primary brain cancers with only about 12 % of patients surviving beyond 36 months (longterm survivors).1–4 Most GBMs are heterogeneous in cellular composition consisting of tumor stem cells, malignantly transformed mesenchymal cells, ...
