Dr. Lu Si: mRNA Vaccines and TIGIT Monoclonal Antibodies — New Stars of 2023 AACR

Dr. Lu Si: mRNA Vaccines and TIGIT Monoclonal Antibodies — New Stars of 2023 AACR

PD-1 inhibitors have become the international standard for adjuvant treatment of stage IIB-IV melanoma after surgery. Research on the neoadjuvant use of PD-1 monotherapy (pembrolizumab) for resectable melanoma was just published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March of this year. With this, PD-1 inhibitors cover the two major treatment areas of neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment of melanoma. Two studies presented at this year's AACR conference have brought new breakthroughs to this field.
Emerging Lymphoma Therapies at AACR 2023: Promising Results in CD19 Immunotherapy, CAR-T Cells, and Dual-Specific Antibodies

Emerging Lymphoma Therapies at AACR 2023: Promising Results in CD19 Immunotherapy, CAR-T Cells, and Dual-Specific Antibodies

The 2023 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting was held in Orlando, USA, from April 14 to 19, 2023. Every year, the AACR Congress reports numerous clinical, basic, and translational studies on cancer, especially innovative therapies in the preliminary phase I/II research stages. At this year's AACR conference, three clinical trials were reported in the lymphoma field, including anti-CD19 immunotherapy Tafasitamab, CD19/CD20 CAR naive/memory T cells, and bispecific quadrivalent antibody (innate cell engager) AFM13.
Dr. Yao Zhu talks to Dr. Nguyen: Advances in Radiotherapy and Surgical Treatment of Prostate Cancer at ASCO-GU 2023

Dr. Yao Zhu talks to Dr. Nguyen: Advances in Radiotherapy and Surgical Treatment of Prostate Cancer at ASCO-GU 2023

The 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GU 2023) has concluded. During this conference, several studies related to early-stage/ localized prostate cancer radiotherapy or surgical treatment were presented as oral reports. Among them, the FORMULA-509 study presented by Dr. Paul L. Nguyen of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard Medical School showed that for high-risk patients with biochemical recurrence after radical surgery, combining 6 months of ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy) with novel hormonal therapy on top of salvage radiotherapy can improve patient survival. "Oncology Frontier" invited Dr. Zhu Yao from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center to have a discussion with Dr. Nguyen, delving into the interpretation of the FORMULA-509 study and other prostate cancer surgery and radiotherapy-related research presented at the conference.
Exploring New Breast Cancer Risk Genes, Biomarkers, and Prognostic Models at AACR 2023

Exploring New Breast Cancer Risk Genes, Biomarkers, and Prognostic Models at AACR 2023

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) held its annual conference from April 14th to 19th, 2023 in Orlando, USA. With numerous reports on clinical, fundamental, and translational cancer research presented each year, this year's AACR conference delved deep into the realm of breast cancer. Research focused on the analysis of various susceptibility genes and risk-related biomarkers, aiming to discover new therapeutic targets and develop prognostic models, with the hope of providing improved services for patients.
New Data on KRAS G12C Inhibitor in the Treatment of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

New Data on KRAS G12C Inhibitor in the Treatment of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The 2023 annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) was held in Orlando, USA, from April 14th to 19th, 2023. Various important basic and clinical research results were presented at the conference, including the latest results of a Phase I study of IBI351 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors from China. According to the latest data from this Phase I dose-escalation study (NCT05005234), the Phase II recommended dose of IBI351 monotherapy for advanced KRAS G12C mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients shows good safety and promising efficacy.
Progress of ctDNA in predicting prognosis of patients with urological tumors

Progress of ctDNA in predicting prognosis of patients with urological tumors

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for predicting tumor prognosis and guiding individualized treatment is a hot topic in malignant tumor research. ctDNA exists in the peripheral blood of tumor patients in a cell-free state and can dynamically evaluate the tumor condition, overcoming tumor heterogeneity biases. The 2023 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting was held from April 14 to 19, 2023, in Orlando, USA. In this AACR conference, three ctDNA-related studies evaluated its application value in urological tumors.
