The five selected Plenary late-breaking abstracts at the ASCO 2026 Annual Meeting in Chicago showcased some of the meeting’s most practice-influencing data. Across prostate cancer, sarcoma, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, these phase 3 studies demonstrated meaningful improvements in survival outcomes, highlighting the growing impact of perioperative intensification, precision oncology and novel targeted therapies in difficult-to-treat disease settings.
This issue of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology brings together a diverse collection of articles reflecting the growing complexity of cancer care and the continued evolution of precision medicine across tumour types. From rare malignancies and treatment-related challenges to emerging ...
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.1Â Over the past two decades, the molecular characterization of NSCLC has transformed the therapeutic landscape by enabling the development of targeted therapies that have significantly improved outcomes ...
Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare gastrointestinal malignancy, accounting for about 1–3% of gastrointestinal cancers.1,2 Its reported incidence has increased in recent decades, likely reflecting improved detection by balloon-assisted and capsule endoscopy and the more widespread use of cross-sectional imaging.3,4 ...
2025 has brought exciting developments in oncology, with groundbreaking research and real-world progress showcased at ASCO, ESMO, EHA, ASH and many more leading conferences around the world. We asked our key faculty to share what they believe has been most impactful so far this year – here’s what they told us.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) act by blocking inhibitory pathways such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)Â and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4Â (CTLA-4), thereby restoring T-cell activity and promoting tumour cell destruction.1,2Â The ability of tumours ...
The intestinal microbiota, composed of approximately 1,000 species and over 100 trillion micro-organisms, plays a vital role in host physiology, including metabolism, barrier function and immune regulation.1 Disruption of this delicate host–microbiota balance – known as dysbiosis – has been implicated in the ...
Early-onset lung cancer is typically defined as occurring in individuals aged 18–50 years, although there is no universally accepted definition.1–3 This entity, though rare, poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This article synthesizes current evidence on the unique features and management ...
Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 CC-related deaths in 2020.1# Approximately 90% of CCs are caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV).2Â Even though the adoption of both primary (HPV ...
Head and neck cancer (HNC), with over 946,000 new cases and 482,000 deaths in 2022, is the seventh most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally.1Â Specifically, in the USA, the number of estimated new cases in 2024 was 74,000.2Â Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (...
Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer worldwide and in the USA, with its incidence varying depending on geographic and socioeconomic factors.1–3 According to data from the Global Cancer Observatory: Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Prevalence (GLOBACAN) database, ...
Despite being considered a rare type of malignancy, constituting only 3% of all gastrointestinal cancers, the incidence of biliary tract cancers (BTCs) has been increasing worldwide in recent years, with about 20,000 new cases annually only in the USA.1–3 These cancers arise ...
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) represents the most formidable stage of prostate cancer (PCa) and is responsible for the majority of PCa-related mortalities. This advanced form of the disease typically evolves from less aggressive stages.1 PCa is broadly categorized into ...
Oesophageal cancer is the eighth most commonly diagnosed cancer and is the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide.1,2Â Worldwide, around 604,100 new instances of oesophageal cancer were recorded in 2020, leading to approximately 544,100 deaths. This translates to a standardized incidence rate ...
Rat sarcoma virus (RAS) proteins are a family of prototypical oncogenes frequently mutated in human cancers. Mutations in the RAS gene account for 19% of all pathogenic alterations and are the subject of extensive research in molecular and clinical oncology.1 The ...
The phase II RELATIVITY-104 trial assessed the combination of nivolumab (NIVO) and relatlimab (RELA), a LAG-3-blocking antibody, alongside chemotherapy (PDCT) as a first-line treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this randomized trial, patients receiving NIVO + RELA + ...
The annual ASCO2024 meeting was packed as always with the latest trial data and treatment advances in oncology.
