ASCO 2024 | Biomarkers and Efficacy Analysis of Immunotherapy Combinations for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

ASCO 2024 | Biomarkers and Efficacy Analysis of Immunotherapy Combinations for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

The efficacy of endocrine therapy in advanced prostate cancer patients is poor, with most ultimately progressing to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Although previous single-agent immunotherapies have shown limited success in prostate cancer, recent studies indicate that combination immunotherapies exhibit higher antitumor activity in patients with metastatic CRPC (mCRPC). At the recent ASCO Annual Meeting, a study analyzed the efficacy of different immunotherapy combinations for mCRPC patients and examined potential biomarkers.
Can COVID-19 Vaccination Help Long COVID Symptoms?

Can COVID-19 Vaccination Help Long COVID Symptoms?

A recent study in The Journal of Infection suggests that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may accelerate symptom resolution in individuals with ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 (OSC) and post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Using data from the ZOE COVID Symptom Study app, researchers found that vaccinated individuals experienced greater improvement in symptoms like fatigue and brain fog compared to unvaccinated individuals.

New Breakthrough in SARS-CoV-2 Immunotherapy

A recent study published in Emerging Microbes & Infections introduces C10, a pan-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that offers a novel approach to combating COVID-19. Unlike traditional neutralizing antibodies, C10 targets infected lung epithelial cells and mediates their elimination via NK cell-driven antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).

Research Progress丨Analysis of Platinum Intolerance and Treatment Outcomes in First-Line Treatment of Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Patients

Research Progress丨Analysis of Platinum Intolerance and Treatment Outcomes in First-Line Treatment of Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Patients

Advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients have a poor prognosis with a low 5-year survival rate. Since the 1980s, platinum-based chemotherapy has been the standard first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic UC (la/mUC), but the benefits are limited. The real-world tolerance and treatment outcomes of platinum therapy remain unclear. This year's study analyzed data from advanced UC patients in the United States. This article summarizes and organizes the findings for our readers.
