Medical Xpress / Tam-Peli extends survival by nearly four months in relapsed small-cell lung cancer
The phase 3 TAISHAN-302 trial found that tambotatug pelitecan (Tam-Peli, YL201), a novel anti-B7-H3 antibody-drug conjugate, significantly improved overall survival, progression-free survival and objective response rate compared ...
Medical Xpress / Trial supports MRI surveillance over preventive brain radiation in small-cell lung cancer
Results from the international phase 3 SWOG S1827 MAVERICK trial show that brain MRI surveillance alone improved cognitive failure-free survival compared with MRI surveillance plus prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in ...
Phys.org / AI could make holiday planning easier for overwhelmed travelers
Generative AI could help overwhelmed travelers organize their thoughts, compare options and complete vacation plans they might otherwise abandon, according to new research from the University of Surrey.
Phys.org / Human embryo base editing can reach all cells but causes unpredictable genetic changes
A study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found that new cutting-edge techniques can accurately edit genes in human embryos—giving scientists indispensable tools for understanding ...
