"Cancer"

For many patients after early lung cancer surgery, it is common for them to worry about recurrence. For this reason, many patients tend to undergo CT examinations more closely to ensure that they have not had a recurrence. However, a recent new study conducted by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that even with more frequent CT reviews, post-operative outcomes for lung cancer did not improve...

In recent years, scientists have begun to look at "transforming" cancer cells from life-threatening bad actors to help fight cancer.

Immunotherapy has been a very important treatment in recent years, with many patients in lung cancer, malignant melanoma and many other cancers experiencing dramatic improvements in prognosis with this cutting-edge therapy. In pancreatic cancer, however, progress in immunotherapy has been very slow and its effectiveness has been extremely limited.

With more and more new cutting-edge drugs emerging, the standard treatment paradigm for breast cancer is now rapidly changing, and the future is looking brighter for patients.

If pancreatic cancer is not treated in time, it will develop and become more and more serious as the disease progresses, and because the symptoms of pancreatic cancer are sometimes not obvious in the early stages of the disease, the disease is diagnosed in the middle and late stages.

The US FDA approved a new treatment for non-small cell lung cancer - Tremelimumab + Durvalumab + platinum-based chemotherapy. The triple combination therapy significantly improves efficacy and patient survival and has a good safety profile.

A three-drug combination regimen significantly prolongs survival in patients with HPV-positive cancers, new data from a clinical trial shows. For patients who had not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, it resulted in significant tumour shrinkage in 88% of patients, and even in patients who failed immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, 63% had significant tumour shrinkage.

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.

The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Adagrasib for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C mutations in non-small cell lung cancer. In the trial, the drug resulted in disease control in 80% of patients, of which, 43% had substantial tumour shrinkage.

Both laryngeal cancer and laryngitis are common diseases, but there are some differences between these two diseases. Therefore, it is necessary for us to learn more about the common knowledge of laryngeal cancer and laryngitis, which can help us to prevent and detect the diseases.
