Subcutaneous nivolumab revolutionizes renal cell carcinoma care with faster, easier treatment

Subcutaneous injection of the immunotherapy nivolumab (brand name Opdivo) is noninferior to intravenous delivery and dramatically reduces treatment time in patients with renal cell carcinoma, as seen in the results of a large phase 3 clinical trial reported today at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, California.

Study identifies risk factors for deadly blood clots after lung cancer surgery

In patients who undergo pulmonary resection for lung cancer, a major potential postoperative complication is venous thromboembolism (VTE) - a condition that develops when a blood clot forms in a vein - which can lead to part of the clot breaking off and lodging in the lung, resulting in a pulmonary embolism (PE).

Prior exposure to common cold coronaviruses can train T cells to fight SARS-CoV-2

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found direct evidence that exposure to common cold coronaviruses can train T cells to fight SARS-CoV-2. In fact, prior exposure to a common cold coronavirus appears to partially protect mice from lung damage during a subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection.
