AN AUTHORITATIVE RESOURCE FOR EVERYTHING ABOUT CANCER
Research
The volume and pace of cancer research, from preclinical studies to clinical trials and FDA approvals, can make it challenging to stay informed. This section highlights the latest developments and translates complex scientific concepts into clear, accessible insights for both healthcare professionals and the broader public.
KSHV-Associated Multicentric Castleman Disease: A Distinct Diagnosis With Distinct Treatment Considerations
By Kathryn Lurain, MD, MPH
KSHV/HHV8-associated multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) shares clinical features with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease but has a distinct viral cause

Kidney Cancer Treatment Diversifies: Dual Immunotherapy, HIF-2α Inhibition, and TKI-Free Intervals
By Randy F. Sweis, MD
Frontline treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) now centers on a choice between dual immunotherapy and immunotherapy-TKI combinations, each with different tradeoffs in response rate versus durable remission.

Early-Stage Breast Cancer: Why Fewer Patients Need Chemotherapy, and More Need CDK4/6 Inhibitors
By Ruta Rao, MD
Genomic testing is increasingly identifying which early-stage, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients can safely skip chemotherapy, even among some node-positive premenopausal women.

Beyond G12C: KRAS Lung Cancer Is About to Become a Toolkit, Not a Single Target
By Benjamin Herzberg, MD
KRAS G12C is not the only KRAS mutation worth worrying about, and I think that idea is very close to being obsolete.

Enfortumab Vedotin Plus Pembrolizumab Reshapes Bladder Cancer, From Metastatic Disease to Surgery
By David VanderWeele, MD, PhD
For decades, platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin- or carboplatin-based regimens combined with gemcitabine) was the mainstay of treatment for metastatic urothelial cancer, with little improvement from added agents.
