At a recent international oncology symposium, Professor François-Clément Bidard from Institut Curie shared the updated results from the third data cut-off (DCO3) of the Phase III SERENA-6 study. The study focuses on patients with HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer (ABC). During first-line treatment with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i), once a new-onset ESR1 mutation is detected via circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring, the AI is immediately switched to Camizestrant, a novel oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), to assess clinical benefit. This report highlights key secondary endpoints—the final progression-free survival 2 (PFS2) and core data such as ctDNA kinetics analysis.

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Although the R-CHOP regimen has established its position as the cornerstone of first-line treatment, approximately 40% of high-risk patients still face the dilemma of refractory or relapsed disease. At a recent academic conference, Professor Georg Lenz from University Hospital Münster, Germany, on behalf of the research team, released the latest data from the frontMIND study (NCT04824092), exploring the clinical benefits of the anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody Tafasitamab (Tafa) combined with Lenalidomide (Len) and the R-CHOP regimen in patients with previously untreated high-risk DLBCL.

At the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, Professor Ida Wong-Sefidan (MD) from the AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC), on behalf of the research team, shared a milestone study. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefits of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor Ibrutinib in combination with dose-adjusted R-EPOCH (R-da-EPOCH) for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-associated Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (HIV-DLBCL). The study results not only confirmed the safety of the regimen but also provided critical data support in terms of efficacy and subgroup survival analysis.

In the field of surgical treatment for breast cancer, the trend of "de-escalation" in axillary management has become a consensus. Although studies such as ACOSOG Z011 and AMAROS have laid the foundation for exempting axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with positive sentinel lymph nodes (SLN), controversy remains in clinical practice regarding whether it is safe to exempt ALND for patients undergoing total mastectomy, patients with large tumors (T3), and those with macrometastases. At this conference, Professor Jana de Boniface from Karolinska Institutet and Capio St. Göran Hospital in Sweden presented the highly anticipated latest results of the SENOMAC trial, a randomized controlled study focusing on survival data and patient-reported arm complications after exempting ALND in patients with SLN macrometastases.

At a recent international breast cancer academic conference, Professor Nicholas C. Turner from The Royal Marsden Hospital and the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in the UK presented the highly anticipated primary analysis results of the Phase III persevERA BC study. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), Giredestrant (GIRE), in combination with the CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib (PALBO), compared to the standard aromatase inhibitor (AI) Letrozole (LET) plus Palbociclib, in the first-line treatment of estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative (ER+/HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (LA/mBC).

The 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting was held in grand fashion in Chicago, showcasing numerous highlights and breakthroughs in gastrointestinal oncology. On this occasion, Oncology Frontier invited Prof. Yinying Wu from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University to share her perspectives and discuss the impressive contributions of Chinese investigator-initiated research presented at this year’s meeting.

Following the successful online sessions held during the first three days of the CGOG Annual Meeting, including six ASCO Highlights sessions and six thematic symposia, the on-site program officially commenced on June 12. On Day 4 of the 16th Peking University Gastrointestinal Oncology Forum and CGOG Annual Meeting, two parallel forums attracted strong interest from attendees. The Precision Translational Medicine Forum brought together experts from a wide range of academic disciplines for in-depth exchange and discussion.

The 16th Peking University Gastrointestinal Oncology Forum and the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Chinese Gastrointestinal Oncology Cooperative Group (CGOG) were successfully held in Beijing from June 9 to 13, 2026.
