BOC/BOA 2024丨Professor Chaosu Hu: Advances in Immunotherapy and Proton Carbon Ion Therapy for Head and Neck Tumors

By Mourabit Halima 2024.07.19

Traditional treatment for head and neck tumors mainly involves surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promising potential in treating head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and new radiotherapy techniques such as proton and carbon ion therapy offer treatment options with reduced radiation toxicity for patients with head and neck tumors. At the recent 2024 BOC/BOA conference, Professor Chaosu Hu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center chaired the head and neck tumor session, sharing and discussing significant research findings from the 2024 ASCO conference with colleagues. Oncology Frontier interviewed Professor Hu at the BOC/BOA conference to further explore the current diagnosis and treatment status and research progress in head and neck tumors.

Professor Uwe Platzbecker: Breakthrough Progress in the Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) — Key Findings from the APOLLO Study

By Mourabit Halima 2024.07.19

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a highly aggressive blood disorder, and its treatment has always been a challenge in the field of hematology. Chinese scholars have contributed the arsenic trioxide (ATO) regimen for global APL patients. Since the APL0406 study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2013, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with ATO has replaced ATRA combined with chemotherapy as the standard treatment for patients with intermediate and low-risk APL. However, whether this regimen is suitable for high-risk APL patients is still lacking in randomized controlled trial reports. At the 29th Annual Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA 2024) held from June 13 to 16, 2024, Professor Uwe Platzbecker from Leipzig University in Germany presented the key results of the APOLLO study in an oral report. The study showed that the combination of ATO and ATRA provides a new treatment strategy for high-risk APL patients, offering valuable insights into the current state of APL treatment and guiding future research directions and clinical practices. "Oncology Frontier-Hematology Frontier" specially invited Professor Platzbecker on-site to share the important findings and clinical significance of the APOLLO study.
