Many lung cancer patients will be detected by genetic testing to carry an EGFR mutation, and these patients can often control their tumours with EGFR-targeted drugs. Although targeted drugs are effective and have fewer side effects than chemotherapy, resistance to them inevitably occurs, after which they no longer work.

Bile duct cancer is a rare but highly malignant tumour that occurs in the human bile duct system and has long had a poor prognosis. Now, researchers at University College London and University College London Hospitals, in an international multi-centre trial, have identified potentially good treatments that may radically improve the lives of some patients with bile duct cancer.

Many women suffering from hyperthyroidism hope to become pregnant or have a second child, but hyperthyroidism is a chronic disease, which often cannot be cured for a long time. Many people mistakenly believe that hyperthyroidism and pregnancy are absolutely "incompatible" and "irreconcilable", which undoubtedly brings a lot of gloom to patients' family life.

Study Shows Drug Halves Recurrence Rate In Patients With Early-Stage EGFR-Mutated Lung Cancer!
A new clinical trial update shows that oxitinib (known as Teresa, or 9291) nearly doubled disease-free survival and halved post-operative recurrence rates in lung cancer patients carrying an early stage EGFR mutation!

In the last decade, the introduction of several immune checkpoint inhibitors such as CTLA-4/PD-1/PD-L1 and other immune drugs such as Keytruda and Opdivo have marked a major advance in cancer treatment by "liberating" immune T cells and giving them back their ability to attack cancer cells. However, previous data shows that only 10-30% of patients have a good outcome with these immunotherapies

Cutting-edge Medicine: Getting Immune Cells To Kill Immune Cells Can Actually Shrink Solid Tumours!
CAR-T therapy is a cellular immunotherapy treatment that has become very popular in recent years. This therapy uses genetic engineering techniques to upgrade the patient's immune T cells in vitro, before entering the body to exert a powerful anti-cancer effect. Currently, CAR-T therapy has performed very well in blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukaemia.
