Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States and has been shown to cause considerable symptom burden in both patients and their caregivers.

What you need to know about discussing clinical trials with your patients.

Can your patients benefit from animal-assisted therapy?

Pembrolizumab as second-line therapy improved overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal cancer and high PD-L1 expression compared with chemotherapy, according to findings from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-181 study presented at the 2019 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.

Adjuvant treatment with durvalumab, a checkpoint inhibitor, in patients with residual disease after trimodal therapy for advanced esophageal or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma was associated with a 79% 1-year relapse-free survival rate in a phase 2 clinical trial.

The era of immunotherapy has opened new perspectives in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is one of the tumors most highly infiltrated with cluster of differentiation T cells and PD-1 expression, partially accounting for its sensitivity to immunotherapy.

First-line therapy with pembrolizumab plus axitinib significantly improved overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rates compared with standard-of-care sunitinib in patients with clear cell metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in KEYNOTE-426.

The combination of the PD-1 inhibitor durvalumab and the CTLA-4 inhibitor tremelimumab added to best supportive care improved overall survival (OS) by >2 months compared with best supportive care alone in a phase 2 randomized trial of unselected patients with refractory colorectal cancer (CRC).

The word “acuity” is used frequently in healthcare literature; however, the true concept of acuity is sometimes misunderstood.
