[VIRTUAL] MET fusions as therapeutic targets in solid tumors () - Jul 22, 2021 - Abstract #ESMO2021ESMO_3044; Careful bioinformatic evaluation is mandatory to select patients who may benefit from MET inhibitor treatment. Based on our findings we conclude that detection of MET fusions can be a useful enrichment of biomarker testing in solid tumors and MET inhibitors might be considered if standards of evaluation are considered.

Journal, Checkpoint inhibition: Immune-checkpoint inhibitors for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: a synopsis of response rates. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 14, 2021 In sorafenib-experienced patients, nivolumab + ipilimumab (ORR 32%) provided the highest ORR among ICI-based regimens. Our findings emphasize high therapeutic potential of ICI-based therapies in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, though further studies are required to further validate and define their role in this context.
