A long-term clinical trial found that structured exercise after colon cancer treatment improved survival outcomes and reduced recurrence rates, offering evidence to support physical activity as part of survivorship care.
Tevimbra added to chemo before esophageal cancer surgery doubled complete response rates in a phase 2 trial, hinting at a future shift in standard care.
Removing and testing at least 18 lymph nodes during surgery was associated with more accurate staging and better survival rates for colon cancer patients, according to research presented today at the Society of Surgical Oncology 2025 Annual Meeting. The findings from researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center challenge the current standard of care for staging colon cancer, which calls for removal and examination of 12 lymph nodes.
