New in experimental cancer therapeutics: Pre-clinical studies demonstrate that nimotuzumab conjugated to IRDye800CW is safe and does not exhibit toxicities commonly associated with EGFR targeting antibodies

New cancer survivorship study revealed that the use of antidepressants, sedatives and AEDs in patients with low-grad glioma was elevated at 1 year following surgery, compared to matched controls

New in cancer biology: Pilot study suggests that the lack of activation of immune system in the primary tumor might influence the multifactor process of ER+/HER2- breast cancers progression

New in cancer diagnostics: Kiritani et al. present a new rapid diagnostic system with ambient mass spectrometry and machine learning for colorectal liver metastasis

Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR): New study contributes to the mechanistic understanding of the clinically observed CADR during therapy with EGFR inhibitors
