Immunotherapy-chemotherapy combo boosts survival for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

A study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers found that using a combination of experimental immunotherapy drugs with chemotherapy significantly improves progression-free survival and overall survival for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously undergone standard chemotherapy treatment when compared to those who received the targeted therapy regorafenib alone.

New AI model sets benchmark in digital pathology with superior cancer diagnostics

Researchers developed Prov-GigaPath, a whole-slide pathology foundation model using a novel vision transformer architecture. The model demonstrates superior performance in mutation prediction, cancer subtyping, and vision-language tasks. It leverages large-scale real-world data from over 30,000 patients to enhance clinical diagnostics.

Evaluating the performance of 3D power Doppler in differential diagnosis of adnexal masses

Three-dimensional power Doppler (3DPD) ultrasound has been used for assessing adnexal masses, and in this study, we aimed to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate its role in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses.

New study advocates for de-escalating breast cancer surgery in women aged 55 and older

Surgery involving sentinel lymph node biopsy for middle-aged women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer may do more harm than good, according to a new study led by University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center researchers.
