"Cancer"

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.

Targeted drug Selpercatinib has received accelerated approval from the FDA. It is cancer-independent and may benefit any solid tumour with a positive RET gene fusion. It is up to 84% effective in selected patients with non-small cell lung cancer!

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, founded in 1947, is a specialist cancer hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School, a federally designated comprehensive cancer treatment centre in the United States, and has produced one Nobel Laureate in medicine.

A new clinical trial update shows that oxitinib (known as Teresa, or 9291) nearly doubled disease-free survival and halved post-operative recurrence rates in lung cancer patients carrying an early stage EGFR mutation!

There are many ways to treat prostate cancer and radiation therapy is a common treatment for prostate cancer, but many prostate cancer patients want to know what the side effects of radiation therapy are.

A new generation of oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, elastostat, has shown promise in clinical studies over standard second-line treatments such as fulvestrant for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

Data from a trial show that adding the new drug Eganelisib to standard treatment significantly improves the length of survival for patients with triple-negative breast cancer whose disease remains unexacerbated. Patients benefited regardless of their PD-L1 status.

Pancreatic cancer is a complex disease that affects the patient's body, often with pain and loss of weight, so it needs to be treated promptly.

As medicine continues to advance, there are many good drugs and options to fight cancer. Just recently, a study showed that the NALIRIFOX regimen significantly improved the overall survival of patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who had not received previous treatment.

The Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute is a non-profit cancer treatment and research centre established in 1981 by the Florida Legislature and opened on the campus of the University of South Florida in October 1986.
