Data from a study of a cancer vaccine combined with a PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor has recently been released, and the treatment has increased the survival of patients with advanced colorectal cancer by more than three times, with some patients surviving for more than 22 months so far.

Recently, the US FDA has granted orphan drug status to two new therapeutics in a row. One is a small molecule inhibitor, PCLX-001, for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia; the other is a T-cell therapy, ET140203, for the treatment of hepatoblastoma.

In our intestines, there are a wide variety of intestinal microorganisms, which are called intestinal microflora. Many studies have proved that they play an extremely important role in maintaining normal digestion and absorption, regulating immunity and preventing pathogen invasion.

Generally speaking, mild gastritis, i.e. superficial gastritis, does not increase the risk of gastric cancer, but if not adjusted in time, it may further develop into atrophic gastritis, which is a state of "precancerous lesion".

For brain cancer, the major obstacle to treatment is not the tumour, but the brain itself. How to break the "blood-brain barrier" and allow effective anti-cancer drugs to enter the brain to take effect has long been a key issue in brain cancer treatment. Recently, a new study has shown that a new type of pump can be implanted in brain cancer patients to safely break the blood-brain barrier and better treat brain cancer!
