As Dr Mita reported at the 2017 ASCO-SITC Clinical Immuno-Oncology Symposium, plinabulin is a small molecule with tumor-inhibiting and immune-enhancing effects.

Durability of benefit—the possibility for sustained remission in patients with previously incurable disease—is already one of the hallmarks of immunotherapy. According to recent statistical analysis, however, this durability may even exceed expectations.

According to data presented at the 2017 ASCO-SITC Clinical Immuno-Oncology Symposium, a single intravenous dose of an oncolytic virus can be highly effective in disseminated cancer as well.

According to preliminary data presented at the 2017 ASCO-SITC Clinical Immuno-Oncology Symposium, when used in combination with either ipilimumab or pembrolizumab, talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) demonstrated promising efficacy with minimal added toxicity.

Immune checkpoint therapy, specifically PD-1 blockade, has improved survival for patients with metastatic cancer, but not all patients respond to treatment.

I recently saw a definition of the word “navigate” that read: to plan and direct the route or course of a ship, aircraft, or other form of transportation, especially by using instruments or maps.

JONS speaks with Ms. Strusowski about the need for national metrics, the process of metric creation, and their intended use.

The authors present the results of an analysis of the evidence for patient navigation effectiveness to improve cancer screening rates.
