Rising early-onset colorectal cancer rates among young adults highlight the urgent need to explore lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors driving this trend.

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.
