There were no major differences in survival when comparing intravenous and intraperitoneal chemotherapy plus Avastin in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, research shows.

“These results position mirvetuximab soravtansine to become a practice-changing, biomarker-driven, standard-of-care treatment option for patients with (high folate receptor-alpha)-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer,” noted one of the study authors.

Zejula plus Avastin led to promising progression-free survival rates with no new side effects for patients with newly diagnosed, advanced ovarian cancer.

Patients treated with Lutetium-177 PSMA-617 tended to experience improvements in quality of life related to the aches and pains that can come from bone metastases.

In a recent clinical trial, treatment with Bavencio plus Inlyta produced promising outcomes in the presurgical treatment of patients with non-metastatic, clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Treatment with Cabometyx before surgery in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer, may provide benefits, although further research is required before a decision is made about its role in presurgical treatment.

Although the data failed to identify a predictive biomarker in patients with advanced kidney cancer, an expert from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York notes that the results indicate that no one should be excluded from receiving Lenvima plus Keytruda.

Tecentriq failed to meet the progression-free survival goal in a trial analyzing the immunotherapy agent in advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.

Patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were taking other medications or had health complications still derived a survival benefit from treatment with Nubeqa, research showed.

Fotivda – a TKI drug that was approved last year – not only improved survival outcomes, but was also very tolerable in terms of side effects for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Prehab and rehab may help patients with cancer who are receiving CAR-T cell therapy return to health or even better, but there are still challenges.
