Research Highlights In The News From ESMO
Summary
- The ESMO 2022 Congress took place in Paris in September 2022, with around 29,000 delegates, including 5,000 online participants.
- The program featured a broad range of topics, including clinical trial results, translational studies, and health policy initiatives.
- A key theme discussed was the optimization of treatment for patients with locally advanced, resectable cancers.
- The phase II NICHE-2 trial showed that neoadjuvant treatment with ipilimumab plus nivolumab was safe and effective in non-metastatic mismatch repair-deficient colon cancer, with no disease recurrence after a median follow-up of 13 months.
- The phase II SWOG S1801 trial demonstrated that neoadjuvant pembrolizumab improved event-free survival and overall survival in patients with stage IIIB–IV melanoma.
- The phase III IPSOS trial found that atezolizumab extended overall survival and reduced adverse events in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without actionable driver alterations, compared to standard chemotherapy options.
