Panelists discuss how ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel) demonstrates superior outcomes compared to real-world physician’s choice of therapy in patients with late-line relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), with significantly higher response rates, deeper remissions, longer progression-free survival and potentially improved overall survival, though they acknowledge the challenges of cross-trial comparisons and emphasize the importance of considering patient-specific factors such as fitness, prior therapy exposure and treatment goals when weighing this one-time cellular therapy against sequential conventional approaches.

Anktiva is now approved for BCG-unresponsive papillary-only bladder cancer. Here’s what the bladder-sparing option involves, from timeline to risks.

The approval adds patients with high-grade papillary-only tumors, based on trial data showing a 62% complete response rate in patients with carcinoma in situ.

The 2026 cancer report found U.S. cancer death rates continued to fall from 2019 to 2023, largely due to lung cancer progress, while diagnoses rose slightly among women.

Patients with a newly identified tumor state had shorter survival following chemotherapy and immunotherapy, potentially helping doctors identify those at greater risk of poor outcomes.

Longer follow-up of the phase 2 LUNAR trial showed a 62% lower risk of progression, additional hormone therapy or death with 177Lu-PNT2002 plus radiation.
