On January 7, 2021, leading experts in cancer immunotherapy presented the latest advances in cancer immunotherapy emerging from ESMO Virtual Congress 2020. After attending this webinar, participants were able to: Describe advances in immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies for highly...
The recent development and clinical implementation of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma have improved patient outcomes across subgroups. The rapid introduction of immunotherapeutic agents into the clinic, however, has presented significant questions...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dec. 23, 2020 MILWAUKEE – The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) commends the global biomedical community for coming together to develop and authorize safe and effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccines at unprecedented speeds. SITC stands with the world in hoping that rapid...
Immune effector cell (IEC) therapies offer durable and sustained remissions in significant numbers of patients with hematological cancers. While these unique immunotherapies have improved outcomes for pediatric and adult patients in a number of disease states, as ‘living drugs,’ their toxicity...
Colitis is one of the common immune-related adverse events that leads to morbidity and treatment discontinuation of immunotherapy. The clinical presentation, endoscopic and histopathological features and best management of this toxicity are not well defined. The authors conclude that clinically...
The risk–benefit calculation for corticosteroid administration in the management of COVID-19 is complex and urgently requires data to inform the decision. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of systemic inflammation associated with poor prognosis in both COVID-19 and cancer....
Adverse events (AEs) of special interest that arise during treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors, including immune-related AEs (irAEs), have been reported to be associated with improved clinical outcomes. The authors analyzed patients treated with avelumab from the JAVELIN Solid Tumor and...
Recent research suggests that baseline body mass index (BMI) is associated with response to immunotherapy. In this study, the authors tested the hypothesis that worsening nutritional status prior to the start of immunotherapy, rather than baseline BMI, negatively impacts immunotherapy response....
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide with a minority of patients being diagnosed early enough for curative-intent interventions. The authors report the first use of preoperative cabozantinib plus nivolumab to successfully downstage what presented...
