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 ...
An immunosuppressed person is one whose immune function is impaired by underlying disease and/or immunosuppressive medications, resulting in reduced immunosurveillance against malignant cells and increased vulnerability to opportunistic infections. Longstanding immunosuppression has been linked to increased risk for cutaneous (...
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.
At this year’s ESMO 2025 lung-cancer programme, several large phase II/III studies delivered practice-shaking results across EGFR-mutant, squamous, small-cell and ALK-positive disease. From upfront osimertinib plus chemo to antibody-drug conjugates in chemo-resistant EGFR-mutant disease and adjuvant ALK inhibition, here are the six landmark abstracts clinicians and researchers need to know — and what they could mean for the clinic.
It is with great pleasure that we present the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Oncology & Haematology. This edition showcases the continued advances and innovation reshaping cancer care, as well as highlighting the continued unmet needs and challenges associated with ...
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 ...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver, comprising approximately 85% of all primary liver cancers.1Â Globally, it ranks as the sixth-most common cancer and the third-leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with over 900,000 new cases and 830,000 deaths ...
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 ...
Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays a functional and integral role in B-cell receptor (BCR) signalling and is expressed in normal and malignant B cells. Given BTK’s central role in the survival and proliferation of malignant B cells, BTK inhibitors ...
Highlights Immunotherapy, especially combinatory immunotherapy, has shown promise with prolonged survival for patients with advanced mesothelioma in the first-line setting (see the sections on ‘Systemic treatment and immunotherapy debut’ and ‘Randomized immunotherapy trials of mesothelioma’). Histology-based therapy is important to ...
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 ...
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 ...
