Data from the trial that led to the FDA approval demonstrated that Keytruda reduced the risk of progression or death in patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma by 35%, compared to Adcetris.

In an interview with CURE®, the president of the National Center for Health Research elaborates on the effort to protect patients from potentially serious side effects associated with getting breast implants, including breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

New guidance from the Food and Drug Administration recommends that the makers of breast implants include a black-box warning, a patient decision checklist and other information on product labels that will help protect them against a cancer and an autoimmune condition that can arise from use of the devices.
