Immunotherapy with ipilimumab improved progression-free survival (PFS) and prostate-specific antigen response compared with placebo, but improvement in overall survival (OS) failed to reach statistical significance in postdocetaxel metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). These results of a randomized phase 3 trial (CA184-043) were presented at the 2014 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Read More ›

Enzalutamide prolonged survival and delayed radiographic progression of disease in men who had not received chemotherapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), according to complete results from the phase 3 PREVAIL trial. Read More ›

Many molecularly targeted agents that inhibit different pathways of hepatocarcinogenesis are under clinical development, and novel targets are being assessed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These efforts were described by Andrew X. Zhu, MD, PhD, at the 2014 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. Read More ›
