Darolutamide significantly reduced the risk of metastatic progression and improved overall survival, compared with placebo, in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Pembrolizumab plus concurrent chemoradiation, followed by single-agent pembrolizumab, maintained survival benefits in patients with previously untreated, locally advanced stage III non–small cell lung cancer.
Overall survival outcomes for patients with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who had dose modifications of ribociclib in the phase 3 MONALEESA-2 trial were comparable to those seen among patients who received the standard dose.
Sugemalimab plus chemotherapy improved overall survival (OS) vs placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic non–small cell lung cancer, irrespective of PD-L1 expression or tumor histology.
Radiotherapy can safely be omitted from treatment plans following breast conserving surgery without jeopardizing recurrence rates for patients aged 55 years and older who have low-grade, T1N0, luminal A breast cancer with a Ki67 expression of 13.25% or less, according to findings from the LUMINA study.
