Beliefs and Attitudes Towards Cancer Prevention Among Anti-vaxxers, Flat Earthers, and Reptilian Conspiracists: Online Cross Sectional Survey The fact that more than half of the 1,494 survey respondents agreed that “It seems like everything causes cancer” underscores the challenge society faces in separating real causes from mythological ones as a result of widespread information. Contrary to their counterparts, those who believed in conspiracies, disapproved of the COVID-19 vaccination, or supported alternative medicine were more likely to support the fictitious causes of cancer while being less likely to support the real causes of cancer. These findings imply a clear link between online disinformation and ensuing unhealthy choices, which may account for an additional portion of cancer that is preventable.

Medical oncologists, pulmonologists, pathologists, oncology nurses, pharmacists, and other oncology HCPs who treat patients with lung cancer should be better able to describe ideal evidence-based treatment selection and sequencing recommendations for the use of immuno-oncologic therapy in patients with early-stage NSCLC and evaluate clinical trial data of emerging immunotherapy-based agents in the treatment after completing this three-chapter, 0.50-credit CME activity.

Event-free survival (EFS) was significantly increased with enasidenib compared to conventional care regimens (CCR) in this open-label, randomized, phase 3 trial; overall survival (OS) was complicated by early dropout and usage of later AML medications. The older R/R mutant-IDH2 AML group received notable morphologic and hematologic responses from enasidenib as opposed to CCR.

In this multinational, phase 3, head-to-head trial (ALPINE), patients who received zanubrutinib — a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor with greater specificity– rather than the BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, had significantly longer progression-free survival in individuals with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL, and zanubrutinib was linked to fewer cardiac side events.

The decision to remove Lumoxiti from the US market was attributable to its extremely poor clinical uptake because there were other treatment choices available, according to AstraZeneca’s letter to healthcare professionals. Its limited uptake may also have been caused by the complicated administration, the requirement for toxicity prophylaxis, and the need for safety monitoring. The elimination has nothing to do with the drug’s efficacy or safety.

In this single-group, phase 1-2 trial, sotorasib (LUMAKRAS, Amgen) demonstrated antitumor effect in patients with KRAS p.G12C-mutated advanced pancreatic cancer who had undergone prior therapy and had an acceptable safety profile.
