Combined immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chemoradiation (CRT) is approved in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) but optimal sequencing of CRT and ICB is unknown. NRG-GY017 (NCT03738228) was a randomized phase I trial of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) neoadjuvant and concurrent with CRT (Arm A) vs. concurrent with CRT (Arm B) in patients with high-risk node-positive LACC.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are becoming the standard of care for recurrent and metastatic cancer. Opioids, the primary treatment for cancer-related pain, are immunosuppressive raising concerns about their potential to interfere with the efficacy of ICIs. We hypothesize that exogenous opioids given for analgesia suppress antitumor immunity via T cell-mediated mu opioid receptor 1 (OPRM1) signaling.

Background: Management of patients with locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) when cisplatin is contraindicated is controversial. We aimed to assess whether radiotherapy with concurrent and adjuvant durvalumab would improve outcomes compared with radiotherapy with cetuximab.

Methods: NRG-HN004 was designed as an open-label, multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, phase 2/3 trial with safety lead-in conducted at 89 academic and community medical centres in North America.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the progression patterns and outcomes of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) patients with neck disease who received high-dose intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), focusing on those with unresected or partially resected tumors. !* -
  • The analysis included 40 patients treated from 2010 to 2020, revealing a median overall survival of 7.1 months and a median progression-free survival of 7.4 months for those with locoregional disease. !* -
  • The findings indicate that despite aggressive treatment, 53% of patients experienced loco-regional progression, predominantly in highly irradiated areas, emphasizing the need for improved targeting and strategy in treatment planning. !
