Targeted Therapy Shows Benefit in Rare Type of Thyroid Cancer

Treatment with the multitargeted agent vandetanib (Caprelsa) improved progression-free survival in patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), according to findings from a randomized clinical trial. Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vandetanib for the treatment of patients with MTC based on initial findings from the phase III trial. MTC is a rare cancer, accounting for only 5 percent of all thyroid cancer cases, and radiation and chemotherapy have limited effects once the cancer progresses to an advanced stage.

Annual Screening Chest X-Ray Does Not Reduce Lung Cancer Deaths

Annual screening for lung cancer using a standard chest x-ray does not reduce the risk of dying from lung cancer when compared with no annual screening, according to findings from the NCI-led Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) screening trial. The results from a median of nearly 12 years of follow-up were published online October 26 in JAMA.

Bacterium Linked to Colorectal Cancer in Two Independent Studies

Two independent research groups have identified a bacterium that is associated with colorectal cancer in the first studies to identify a potential link between this common cancer and an infectious agent. Further research is needed, however, to validate the findings and determine whether the bacterium plays a causative role in colorectal cancer, researchers from both groups stressed. The studies were published online October 18 in Genome Research.

Newer Cancer Drugs May Cause Thyroid to Function Abnormally

Over the last decade, many patients with cancer have benefited from the development of new targeted therapies and immunotherapies. But a common side effect of these agents may be unintended effects on the thyroid gland, according to a report published online today in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

BRCA Gene Mutations May Influence Survival, Treatment Response in Ovarian Cancer

Women with ovarian cancer who have a mutated form of the BRCA2 gene may be more likely to respond to standard chemotherapy and have better overall and progression-free survival than women without the mutation, according to a new study published October 12 in JAMA. The findings also suggested that women with BRCA1 mutations had better overall and progression-free survival than women whose tumors lacked the mutations, but these latter findings were not statistically significant.
