Patients with high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer in East Asia get progression-free survival (PFS) boost with pembrolizumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), similar to those observed in the overall population of the phase III ENGOT-cx11/GOG-3047/KEYNOTE-A18 study.

STARGLO shines on first CD20xCD3 BsAb for DLBCL
