Patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation treatment may experience side effects that can lead to declines in physical functioning and increase healthcare utilization. According to a new study, yoga may help alleviate these negative side effects, especially when family caregivers also participate, and decrease the use of feeding tube placements and emergency department visits. The research will be presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium, taking place October 28-29 in Boston.

A new study showed that a text-based e-triage program in combination with routine laboratory testing could safely “fast track” patients to treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors, eliminating the need for an in-person assessment with their doctor, and save patients 66 minutes in total care time and 30 minutes in total wait time per visit to the healthcare center. The research will be presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium, taking place October 27-28 in Boston.

Results from the largest prospective study of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma show that radiation therapy can be omitted in patients who have a complete metabolic response after chemoimmunotherapy. The IELSG37 international study found that these patients may be spared from late toxicities without compromising the chances of cure. The research will be presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

Vorasidenib, an oral dual inhibitor of mutant IDH1/2 enzymes, significantly improved progression-free survival in patients with grade 2 gliomas, a type of malignant brain tumor with poor long-term prognosis. This treatment delayed disease progression and was well-tolerated. These findings represent a significant step forward in the treatment of grade 2 glioma with IDH mutations. The research will be presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
