Great strides in immunotherapy and targeted therapy have revolutionized the management of previously devastating, advanced melanomas. Although these subfields continue to progress, novel approaches in intratumoral oncolytic therapy, adoptive cell therapy, and vaccine therapies are being developed as adjuncts or alternatives. Cytokines, meanwhile, are seeing a resurgence as a viable option as well. The array of effective agents will, in the next few years, provide options for therapy not only in the adjuvant or unresectable settings but also in the neoadjuvant settings. Perhaps, too, in earlier stage melanomas.

Background: Changes in amyloid beta (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau brain levels are known to affect brain network organization but very little is known about how plasma markers can relate to these measures. We aimed to address the relationship between centrality network changes and two plasma pathology markers: phosphorylated tau at threonine 231 (p-tau231), a proxy for early Aβ change, and neurofilament light chain (Nfl), a marker of axonal degeneration.
Methods: One hundred and four cognitively unimpaired individuals were divided into a high pathology load (33 individuals; HP) group and a low pathology (71 individuals; LP) one.

Background: Cancer-targeted therapies are progressively pivotal in oncological care. Observational studies underscore the emergence of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT), impacting patient outcomes. We aimed to investigate the causal relationship between different types of cancer-targeted therapies and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes through a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Introduction: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has emerged as a promising prognostic marker in various malignancies. However, its prognostic significance in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic impact of the SII in patients with SCLC after ICI use.

Background: Rimegepant, a novel oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, has been recently approved for the acute migraine treatment. While its efficacy was confirmed in randomized clinical trials, no data is available regarding real-life effectiveness and tolerability. GAINER, a prospective, multicentric study, aimed to evaluate rimegepant effectiveness and tolerability in the real-world setting.

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Recent advances in targeted therapies have opened new avenues for intervention in PDAC, focusing on key genetic and molecular pathways that drive tumor progression.
Methods: In this review, we provide an overview on advances in novel targeted therapies in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
