In the last decade, the introduction of several immune checkpoint inhibitors such as CTLA-4/PD-1/PD-L1 and other immune drugs such as Keytruda and Opdivo have marked a major advance in cancer treatment by "liberating" immune T cells and giving them back their ability to attack cancer cells. However, previous data shows that only 10-30% of patients have a good outcome with these immunotherapies

The clinical trial (PARABLE) will take place at 22 sites across the UK and is planned to recruit 192 patients at higher risk of developing heart problems. the PARABLE trial is led by researchers from the Royal Marsden Hospital, the University of Cambridge, and the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) UK, and is managed by the Clinical Trials and Statistics Unit, funded by Cancer Research UK, at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). was conducted.

CAR-T therapy is a cellular immunotherapy treatment that has become very popular in recent years. This therapy uses genetic engineering techniques to upgrade the patient's immune T cells in vitro, before entering the body to exert a powerful anti-cancer effect. Currently, CAR-T therapy has performed very well in blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukaemia.

Prostate cancer, which has been increasing in incidence worldwide in recent years, is now a more common cancer among Japanese men. Often, patients with prostate cancer have a poor prognosis and poor survival once they have developed multiple recurrent metastases after treatment with hormones and are difficult to treat with conventional radiotherapy.

Communication between doctors and patients is an art, and communication between patients and doctors also requires skills. This is not only a need for interpersonal communication, but also a need for the vital interests of patients.

DZD1516 is a reversible, selective HER2-targeting agent with full blood-brain barrier penetration. It has demonstrated good therapeutic response in phase I studies in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, including breast cancer patients with central nervous system metastases.

A recent study led by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center on prostate cancer shows that by stopping the "transformation" of cancer cells in prostate cancer, new treatments are expected to overcome drug resistance.

The European Union has approved the marketing of the new treatment Opdualag for the treatment of melanoma patients. New data demonstrates that the treatment resulted in the complete disappearance of tumours in 16.3% of patients, a significant reduction in tumours in 26.8% and stable disease without further progression in 18.2% of patients, giving an efficiency rate of 61.3%.

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare but very deadly childhood tumour, and for more than 40 years there have been no new advances in the treatment of this disease. Recently, a study led by Professor Anton Henssen of the Charité University of Berlin has identified a promising new treatment for the disease.

A cutting-edge study from the University of California, San Francisco, recently showed that researchers have been able to make immune cells, which already recognize cancer cells, more powerful and durable through CRISPR gene editing tools, promising to become tireless, cold-blooded "cancer killers"!
