Monday 25 May – Monday 1 June Scientists from Peter Mac, JCSMT and WEHI have discovered a new class of treatment that stops ovarian cancer cells to stop growing and, in some cases, die, the approach raising the stress levels inside the cells. UCLA research explains how gene disruption can lead to immunotherapy resistance. Ludwig Cancer Research has profiled the immune landscapes of brain tumours. A UCL trial has shown an immunotherapy more than doubled the progression-free survival time compared to chemotherapy for patients with a specific type of bowel cancer. A US data science team has developed an app that uses national cancer datasets to assess the risk of immediate treatment versus delayed treatment, depending on the patient’s individual characteristics, as well as the impact of COVID-19 in their community. |
