Immunotherapy timing key to survival in small cell lung cancer treatment

People with limited-stage small cell lung cancer may benefit from adding immunotherapy to chemoradiation, but not if both treatments are given at the same time, new research finds.

Standard chemoradiation outperforms de-intensified treatments in HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer

Researchers looking to de-intensify radiation treatments for people with early-stage, HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer to prevent long-term side effects halted a large, randomized phase II/III trial after patients in the control arm reached a record high, two-year progression-free survival rate of 98%.

Spirituality and distrust influence Black patients' participation in cancer trials

Spiritual beliefs and a historically-based distrust of clinical research may factor into Black patients' decisions about whether to participate in cancer trials, according to surveys of patients treated at two Baltimore medical centers.

Atherosclerosis burden and progression predict all-cause mortality

A study carried out at Mount Sinaí Fuster Heart Hospital in New York in collaboration with the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid provides important new information about atherosclerosis, a disease in which lipids (cholesterol) and other substances accumulate in plaques on the arterial wall, causing the vessels to harden and narrow, and increasing the risk of severe cardiovascular conditions.

Outpatient CAR-T therapy shows promise for treating lymphoma patients

In the largest prospective study to date examining the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy in a community setting on an outpatient basis, patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) responded well to treatment with few serious side effects, according to results published today in Blood Advances.

Two genetic variants linked to Alzheimer's trigger microglial inflammation in females

Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have found that two genetic variants that confer high risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) together trigger a harmful inflammatory response in the brain's immune cells, particularly in females, in a preclinical model.

New insights into astrocytes offer hope for Alzheimer's treatment

A research team led by Dr. Hoon Ryu from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Sang-Rok Oh) Brain Disease Research Group, in collaboration with Director Justin C. Lee of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, President Do-Young Noh) and Professor Junghee Lee from Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, has uncovered a new mechanism involving astrocytes for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and proposed a novel therapeutic target.
