Adding nivolumab to paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting boosted progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with resectable stage IIIA–B non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to results of the phase II NADIM II trial from Spain.

The use of the combination of palbociclib plus an aromatase inhibitor (AI) in the first-line treatment setting appears to confer survival advantage on patients with hormone receptor–positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HR+/HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (MBC), according to real-world data.

In the 3-year follow-up of the EMPOWER-Lung 1 study, first-line cemiplimab continued to outdo chemotherapy (CT) in providing survival benefit for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Moreover, in the second-line setting (patients with progressive disease [PD]), cemiplimab added to CT provided meaningful and durable objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS) benefit.

In the 6-year follow-up of the ECHELON-1 trial, a combination of the CD30-directed ADC* brentuximab vedotin and a chemotherapy (CT) regimen comprising doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A+AVD), showed a survival advantage over a combination comprising the same CT regimen plus bleomycin (ABVD) in patients with previously untreated stage III or IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL).

Baseline health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among patients with localized high-risk prostate cancer prior to radical prostatectomy is an important and a strong predictor of survival, suggests a study.
