HPV-related cancer diagnoses more common in AYA cancer survivors

A team of researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute and the University of Utah (the U) found that human papillomavirus-related cancer diagnoses are more common in adolescent and young adults (AYAs) who have previously had cancer.

19 Apr 2023

Researchers discover the molecule responsible for guiding T cells toward tumors

Immunotherapy, particularly CAR T-Cell treatment for cancer, is extending the lives of many patients. But sometimes the therapy randomly migrates to places it shouldn't go, tucking into the lungs or other noncancerous tissue and causing toxic side effects.

New report provides comprehensive statistics on cancer in young Australians

This media release contains information some readers may find distressing as it refers to data about cancer incidence and deaths among adolescents and young adults.

18 Apr 2023

Experimental mRNA vaccine plus an immunotherapy reduced the likelihood of melanoma recurrence

The combination of an experimental mRNA vaccine with an immunotherapy reduced the likelihood of melanoma recurring or causing death by 44% when compared to immunotherapy alone, a new clinical trial shows.

17 Apr 2023

Many melanoma patients could avoid the risk for toxicity from combination therapies, study suggests

Data from a national clinical trial shows that a striking 89% of patients with desmoplastic melanoma responded to immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) alone, suggesting that many patients could avoid the risk for toxicity from combination therapies and achieve cancer control with this approach to treatment.

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) has become a promising immunotherapy tool to help treat advanced melanoma.

10 Apr 2023

Immunotherapy response in patients with advanced melanoma depends on prior treatments

Research led by scientists at UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that responses to a type of immunotherapy called PD-1 checkpoint blockade in patients with advanced melanoma depended on whether or not they had previously received another immunotherapy – CTLA-4 blockade – as well as other factors.
