Immunotherapy Expands to Earlier Cancer Stages Across Multiple Tumor Types

Mar 24, 2026

Immunotherapy is increasingly used in earlier cancer stages before or after surgery across seven tumor areas. Research shows neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy can reduce recurrence risk and improve immune recognition of tumor cells. However, challenges remain including side effects, costs, and determining which patients benefit most from earlier treatment.

Cancer Survival Rates Reach 70% Milestone as Research Advances Continue

Mar 02, 2026

For the first time, 70% of cancer patients in the U.S. survive five years or more after diagnosis, according to the American Cancer Society's 2026 report. Advances in immunotherapy, CAR T-cell therapy, and screening technologies have driven significant improvements, particularly for lung cancer and myeloma. The definition of successful cancer care is evolving beyond survival to focus on quality of life and durable remissions.

Precision Oncology Extends Survival for Lung Cancer Brain Metastases

Feb 20, 2026

Precision oncology has transformed brain metastases treatment from lung cancer, extending survival from 6-12 months to 3-5 years through targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and radiosurgery. With 100,000-200,000 annual cases in the US, multidisciplinary approaches now manage this once-terminal condition as a chronic disease.

New Approaches Target Cancer Proteins and Immune Disease Pathways

Mar 10, 2026

Researchers unveil tumor-intrinsic role of PD-L1 in lung cancer progression and develop systematic method for discovering molecular glues that selectively degrade disease proteins, while advances in immunology research aim to improve care for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
