Immunotherapy, TACE-based regimen may reshape HCC treatment landscape
In the EMERALD-1 trial, durvalumab plus bevacizumab (D+B) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) improved progression-free survival (PFS) in individuals with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) eligible for embolization.

Folic acid may induce toxicities in capecitabine-treated CRC patients
The presence of folic acid in plasma and intake of folic acid supplements appear to contribute to chemotherapy-induced toxicities in patients treated with capecitabine for colorectal cancer (CRC), reports a recent study.

Does radiotherapy improve survival in NSCLC patients with cachexia?
Palliative-intent radiation was performed more frequently in patients with advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and cachexia than those without weight loss. Unfortunately, tumour-directed therapy, whether in a curative or a palliative approach, proves inadequate in improving cachexia patient survival across all stages of the disease.

Treatment with sitravatinib plus nivolumab (sitra + nivo) results in numerically longer median overall survival (OS), albeit statistically nonsignificant, in patients with advanced nonsquamous nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with docetaxel, a study has shown.
