Nubeqa plus androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel to treat patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer lowered hospitalization rates but led to marginally longer lengths of stay compared with those treated with placebo, androgen deprivation therapy and docetaxel.

Approximately 40% of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer did not undergo certain types of tests that can be instrumental in treatment decisions.

Treatment with Zytiga, prednisone and Erleada plus another treatment regimen improved prostate cancer outcomes and did not change health-related quality of life outcomes.

Lynparza, Zytiga and prednisone led to improved progression-free survival and response rates in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

Cabometyx plus Tecentriq led to improved progression-free survival compared with novel hormonal therapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Circulating tumor DNA-based minimal residual disease lent insight into which patients with stage 2/3 colorectal cancer may be at higher risk for recurrence and which could benefit from postsurgical chemotherapy.

Patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma and poor liver function were more likely to experience serious side effects leading to regorafenib treatment discontinuation, researchers have found.

Patients with resectable mismatch repair-proficient and -deficient colorectal cancer had robust responses to neoadjuvant botensilimab/balstilimab.

In patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the combination of Tecentriq, tiragolumab and chemotherapy improved survival outcomes, research found.

In patients with TRK fusion GI cancers, Vitrakvi continued to show improvements regarding responses to treatment, survival and safety, research found.

Keytrida plus Lenvima improved survival and duration of response in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

The use of FOLFOXIRI for metastatic colorectal cancer was lower than one what expert was expecting.

The use of the chemotherapy regimen FOLFOXIRI plus Avastin has increased from 2013 to 2022 in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, particularly in patients aged 50 years and younger.
