Immunotherapy Works Effectively on Stage 2 and 3 Cancers

Dear Friend,

Immunotherapy drugs have become a valuable weapon in the fight against metastatic cancer, also known as Stage 4 cancer. Researchers are discovering that immunotherapy for cancer treatment can also have positive results when used during stages two and three of the disease.

Immunotherapy and Early-Stage Cancer

At the recent European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) congress in Madrid, one pharmaceutical company presented successful trial results for its immuno-oncology drug in treating mid-stage lung cancer. The manufacturer, AstraZeneca, is considered a latecomer to the I-O (Immuno-Oncology) field as compared to other more established companies.

For their part, Bristol-Meyers produced evidence regarding Opdivo, the company's widely used late-stage Immuno-Oncology drug. Opdivo has been shown to prevent relapses in melanoma patients when administered immediately post-surgery.

Supplementing Surgery with Immunotherapy

This method of following surgery with cancer treatment is referred to as adjuvant therapy. With the success of Opdivo, a number of trials are being conducted on adjuvant therapy using Immuno-Oncology drugs with a range of cancer types. Some trials are even focusing on neoadjuvant, or pre-surgery, treatment for breast, neck, and head cancers.

What's Next in the World of Immuno-Oncology?

If the trend of early-stage immunotherapy treatment continues, early detection becomes even more important than ever. According to Pascal Soriot, CEO of AstraZeneca, effective early treatment is a powerful incentive for increased use of screening methods.

Tumor Heterogeneity: Why Some Tumors Metastasize or Are Drug Resistant

Scientists have discovered that cancer cells can vary greatly between the original site and metastatic site, and even within a single tumor. This characteristic is referred to as tumor heterogeneity. Research has uncovered significant evidence demonstrating that cancer cells continue to evolve. Doctors are using this knowledge of tumor heterogeneity to prescribe combination therapies that attack multiple genetic and molecular targets.
