Cancer Survival Rate Reaches Historic 70% in ACS 2026 Report

Aug 01, 2026

The American Cancer Society's 2026 statistics show a historic 70% 5-year relative survival rate for all cancers, up from 49% in the mid-1970s. Progress is attributed to earlier detection, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies, though disparities persist for American Indian and Alaska Native populations.

Myeloma Immunotherapies Show Promise, but Access Barriers Persist

Aug 01, 2026

Multiple myeloma immunotherapies like bispecific antibodies and CAR-T cells show high response rates and prolonged survival, but access is hindered by the need for initial hospital stays for bispecifics. Research indicates mezigdomide can reverse T cell exhaustion to boost these therapies, while longer-term CARVYKTI data show significant survival benefits.

FDA Accepts Iberdomide NDA; New Data on Myeloma Quadruplet Therapy and Ferroptosis Research

Jun 02, 2026

The FDA has accepted an NDA for iberdomide in combination with anti-CD38 antibodies for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. A phase 2 study reports a 39% near complete response rate for the DaraKPd quadruplet therapy with durable MRD negativity. Preclinical research shows the RXR agonist IRX4204 sensitizes myeloma cells to ferroptosis and enhances lenalidomide efficacy.

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.

Grail's NHS-Galleri Cancer Screening Trial Misses Primary Endpoint

Mar 09, 2026

Grail's NHS-Galleri trial of 142,000 participants failed to achieve statistically significant reduction in late-stage cancer diagnoses, though secondary endpoints showed four-fold improvement in overall cancer detection rate. Stock fell 48% following the announcement.

Cancer Survival Rates Reach 70% as Treatment Advances Show Impact

Feb 13, 2026

A new report from the American Cancer Society shows 70% of cancer patients now survive five years or more, marking the first time this milestone has been reached. Improvements are attributed to advances in immunotherapy, CAR T-cell therapy, and expanded screening programs.
