In a world-first clinical trial, researchers working with the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) have demonstrated that a structured exercise program significantly improves survival for colon cancer patients by reducing the risk of disease recurrence and new primary cancers.
The CCTG MA.40 (FINER) clinical trial, is a double-blind placebo controlled randomized phase III trial of fulvestrant and ipatasertib as treatment for advanced HER-2 negative and estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer following progression on first line CDK 4/6 inhibitor and aromatase inhibitor.
The ASCO 2025 Annual Meeting, is fast approaching and will be held from May 30 to June 3 in Chicago, Illinois -- This year the theme is of "Driving Knowledge to Action: Building a Better Future".
