Shorter venetoclax durations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) yielded comparable survival outcomes in a new study, challenging treatment norms.

CEPHEUS trial lead investigator Saad Z. Usmani, MD, MBA, FACP, FASCO, explains how the trial both builds on current knowledge of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma and how transplant-ineligible status may affect therapeutic decision-making.

The timing of immunotherapy initiation is not a significant factor in the outcomes of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), a study found.

Andrew Kuykendall, MD, Moffitt Cancer Center, explains the goals of the VERIFY trial and why its data on rusfertide could have paradigm-changing implications for patients with polycythemia vera (PV) who currently rely on frequent phlebotomies for relief.

In the final part of an interview with Brian Slomovitz, MD, he highlights that the phase 3 ROSELLA trial demonstrates a safe, effective treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer that does not require biomarker testing.

Results for IRAKLIA show noninferiority for Sanofi's on-body delivery system for isatuximab, compared with IV administration. Patients overwhelmingly preferred the hands-free delivery option.

Structured exercise programs should be a part of the standard of care for colon cancer following adjuvant chemotherapy, authors of the CHALLENGE study recommended.

Zanubrutinib showed long-term efficacy in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and deletion of the 17p chromosome, with progression-free survival similar to patients without high-risk disease characteristics.

Colorectal cancer offered the earliest window into the trend of increased cancer incidence among those younger than age 50. Obesity is among the factors linked to rising rates of cancer in young adults.

Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who received luspatercept showed greater hemoglobin gains and transfusion independence compared with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in a real-world analysis.

Brian Slomovitz, MD, of Mount Sinai Medical Center, compares relacorilant plus nab-paclitaxel with existing treatments for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and highlights the ROSELLA trial’s global scope.

Leaders in oncology share why the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting remains a top global gathering for breakthroughs, networking, and lifelong learning.

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) face significant survival disparities and unmet needs for effective third-line treatments, highlighting urgent care gaps.

Relacorilant combined with nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) significantly improved progression-free and overall survival in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in the phase 3 ROSELLA trial, according to Brian Slomovitz, MD, one of the investigators.

Adding rusfertide to standard of care more than doubled the share of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) who did not meet criteria for a phlebotomy, according to data from the VERIFY trial.

Dirk Arnold, MD, PhD, medical director, Asklepios Tumour Biology Centre, discusses a phase 3 clinical trial investigating amivantamab in metastatic colorectal cancer.

Jill Feldman, cofounder and president, EGFR Resisters, shares the importance of being proactive in managing dermatologic toxicities in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)–positive lung cancer.

Oncology biosimilars significantly reduce financial toxicity in cancer care, as highlighted in 2 abstracts presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.

Danny Rischin, MD, medical oncologist, clinician researcher, Peter McCallum Cancer Centre, discusses a novel adjuvant treatment approach for patients with locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).

Quadruplet therapy is now the accepted standard for patients newly diagnosed with myeloma who are ineligible for transplant; there is debate whether all newly diagnosed patients should have this regimen.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan plus pertuzumab demonstrated statistically and clinically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) in HER2-positive breast cancer, potentially representing a new standard of care.

Ibrahim Aldoss, MD, associate professor, City of Hope, explores recent findings on ponatinib as a first-line treatment for Philadelphia chromosome–positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL).

Multicancer early detection tests are revolutionizing cancer screening by using liquid biopsies to screen for multiple cancers from a single blood sample, enhancing patient outcomes by identifying cancers earlier.

MATTERHORN offers another case of moving immunotherapy from metastatic to early-stage cancers.

Today, cancer stage and tumor size tell which patients will receive adjuvant chemotherapy. But the rise of biomarker testing and artificial intelligence could offer new tools for assessing risk.

An ASCO session on quality services shows how patient and caregiver engagement is crucial to gain better outcomes and cost savings from symptom monitoring efforts.

Vincent Picozzi, MD, medical oncologist and director of the Pancreaticobiliary Program at Virginia Mason, discusses findings from the PANOVA-3 trial, which represents a significant breakthrough in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LA-PAC) treatment.
