"Cancer"

Prostate cancer, which has been increasing in incidence worldwide in recent years, is now a more common cancer among Japanese men. Often, patients with prostate cancer have a poor prognosis and poor survival once they have developed multiple recurrent metastases after treatment with hormones and are difficult to treat with conventional radiotherapy.

Research suggests that gender-related differences in lung cancer survival are largely determined by known prognostic factors, suggesting an opportunity to explore gender differences in treatment preference, choice and accessibility.

DZD1516 is a reversible, selective HER2-targeting agent with full blood-brain barrier penetration. It has demonstrated good therapeutic response in phase I studies in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer, including breast cancer patients with central nervous system metastases.

A recent study led by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center on prostate cancer shows that by stopping the "transformation" of cancer cells in prostate cancer, new treatments are expected to overcome drug resistance.

A new study shows that for a common type of skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, immunotherapy before surgery resulted in the complete disappearance of tumours in 50.6% of patients and more than 90% in 12.7% of patients.

A study at Massachusetts General Hospital in the US demonstrated that Adagrasib alone and in combination with cetuximab delivered good results in patients with advanced colorectal cancer with KRAS G12C mutations, with 46% of subjects experiencing substantial tumour shrinkage and an efficacy rate of 100%.

A cutting-edge study from the University of California, San Francisco, recently showed that researchers have been able to make immune cells, which already recognize cancer cells, more powerful and durable through CRISPR gene editing tools, promising to become tireless, cold-blooded "cancer killers"!

Data from a study presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Medical Oncology in 2022 showed that lenvatinib in combination with Pembrolizumab could give 100% efficacy in this group of patients.
