Join us as leading experts discuss key data from the Plenary, Late-breaking and top oral sessions across each major disease area at ASCO 2026 touchONCOLOGY coverage of ASCO 2026 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting brought together the global oncology ...
Extended follow-up from the phase 3 INDIGO trial presented at ASCO 2026 provides further evidence that vorasidenib may offer durable disease control in patients with grade 2 glioma harboring IDH1/2 mutations, reinforcing earlier findings that led to its regulatory approvals. In the article below, we provide a details analysis of the latest INDIGO data and Dr Timothy Cloughesy's expert perspective on what the longer-term efficacy and safety findings could mean for the evolving treatment landscape in IDH-mutant glioma.
At ASCO 2026 several neuro-oncology presentations focused less on introducing entirely new paradigms and more on defining where existing and emerging therapies may best fit. Across brain metastases and glioma, phase 3 data addressed longstanding practical questions around radiation delivery, chemotherapy duration, and local therapies, while updated targeted therapy data in IDH-mutant glioma continued to mature. In this piece, Dr Rimas Lukas highlights four main abstracts from ASCO 2026, discussing their take-aways and considering their potential relevance for clinical practice.
At AAN 2026, Dr Jigisha Thakkar presented data challenging long-standing assumptions of continuous tumor growth and suggesting that some patients may benefit from more individualized surveillance and treatment strategies. In this Q&A, Dr Thakkar discusses how intermittent dormancy in IDH-mutant gliomas may influence clinical decision-making, from MRI surveillance intervals to the timing of therapeutic intervention.
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 ...
Among glial tumours of the central nervous system (CNS), one of the most devastating is the category of H3K27-altered midline gliomas because of their uniform and rapid mortality, high neurological symptom burden and predilection for paediatric, adolescent and ...
February has already been very busy across regulation, clinical research and community awareness - and we're only half way through! See below a round-up of the main breakthroughs and what to look out for during the rest of the month. ...
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.
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 ...
The INDIGO phase III trial assessed the use of vorasidenib in patients with IDH1/2 mutated grade 2 glioma. In this touchONCOLOGY interview, we speak with Dr Rimas Lukas (Malnati Brain Tumor Institute, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA) to discuss the mechanism ...
