Advanced lung cancer treatment can stop after two years: Study
A large, retrospective cohort study found that indefinite immunotherapy did not improve survival in patients with advanced lung cancer. Read More
Antibody treatment may shrink bile duct tumors
An antibody treatment in a study helped shrink tumors in some patients with bile duct cancer. The research, published Friday in the Lancet Oncology and presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s 2023 annual meeting, focused on patients whose tumors produce a high amount of the HER2 protein, causing cells to multiply too quickly.
