Highlighted Cancer Advances in Oncology at ESMO 2024

Cancer Innovations at ESMO 2024

The ESMO Congress serves as a pivotal platform for sharing significant updates in oncology, with an emphasis on cancer research and treatment strategies.

Key Findings from ESMO 2024

• Nivolumab & Tivozanib Fail in Renal Cell Carcinoma: The phase 3 TiNivo-2 study revealed no benefit from the combination therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
• Adagrasib vs Docetaxel for KRAS G12C-Mutant NSCLC: Adagrasib offered superior outcomes over docetaxel for patients with KRAS G12C mutations.
• T-DXd Effective for HER2+ Breast Cancer with Brain Mets: T-DXd showed promising results in HER2-positive breast cancer patients with brain metastases and consistent progression-free survival rates.
• Pembrolizumab Improves Survival in Early-Stage TNBC: KEYNOTE-522 trial demonstrates a survival benefit with pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy.
• Lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab for Thymic Tumors: The combination therapy showed a promising progression-free survival rate in patients with thymic carcinoma.
• LITESPARK-005: Belzutifan Shows Promise in Clear Cell RCC: Belzutifan outperformed everolimus for advanced renal cell carcinoma.
• Promising Dato-DXd Findings for Endometrial & Ovarian Cancer: Dato-DXd showed manageable toxicity and effectiveness in advanced ovarian and endometrial cancer.
• Melanoma Treatment Advances: Fianlimab & Cemiplimab: These treatments demonstrated persistent clinical activity in advanced melanoma patients.
• Zipalertinib Effective in EGFR Exon 20-Mutated NSCLC: Zipalertinib showed promising efficacy in NSCLC patients with specific mutations.
• Radium-223 & Enzalutamide Boost Prostate Cancer Outcomes: This combination therapy improved outcomes for prostate cancer with bone metastases.
