At the ESMO Congress 2025 held in Berlin, artificial intelligence demonstrated a pivotal role in reshaping cancer treatment through novel biomarker applications. Studies presented at this event showed how AI models analyzing pathology images, imaging data, and genomic profiles can improve predictions of patient responses to therapies. For example, in metastatic colorectal cancer, AI identified […]
At the 2025 ESMO Congress, interesting data was presented showing that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines significantly improve outcomes for cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. This large retrospective study, conducted by MD Anderson Cancer Center in collaboration with the University of Florida, analyzed clinical data from over 1,000 patients with various types of cancer treated between 2019 and […]
Gedatolisib, an inhibitor targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, in combination with darolutamide, an androgen receptor antagonist, is being evaluated as a treatment option for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In a phase 1/2 clinical trial, patients who had progressed on prior androgen receptor signaling inhibitors received once-weekly intravenous gedatolisib in doses of 120 mg or 180 […]
At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025 in Berlin, new clinical data from a Phase 1b dose escalation trial investigating ADVC001, a novel Lead-212-based PSMA-targeted alpha therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) was presented. The therapy utilizes a radioactive isotope, Lead-212, to deliver targeted alpha radiation to prostate cancer cells, aiming […]
The PRESTO trial, a phase 3 open-label study, evaluated androgen blockade intensification in patients with high-risk biochemically relapsed prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. This population featured rapid PSA doubling times and no detectable metastases. The study randomized 504 patients to 52 weeks of treatment with either androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone, ADT plus apalutamide, or […]
The final results of the phase 3 ENZARAD study, presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2025, reveal that intensifying androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with enzalutamide does not significantly improve metastasis-free survival (MFS) in the overall population of men with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Conducted across eight countries and […]
The Phase III PSMAddition trial presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress marks a meaningful advance in the treatment of prostate cancer that still responds to hormonal therapy but has already spread to distant sites. In this study, patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen–positive metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer received the radioligand therapy Pluvicto […]
A collaboration between Broad Clinical Labs, Roche Sequencing Solutions, and Boston Children’s Hospital has set a Guinness World Record for sequencing and analyzing a whole human genome in under four hours. The record, confirmed this month and documented in the New England Journal of Medicine, demonstrates that complete genomic workflows can be completed in less […]
A novel therapeutic approach combining lutetium-177 177Lu-PSMA-I&T and radium-223 (223Ra) shows encouraging results for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), as demonstrated in the recently reported AlphaBet trial published in The Lancet Oncology in October 2025. This phase 1/2 AlphaBet study is the first to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the […]
At the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Berlin, pivotal real-world data from the international ARON-3 study were revealed, advancing treatment insights for high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) with bone metastases. The ARON-3 study evaluated 841 patients receiving either doublet therapy, combining androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors […]
