For nearly half of people diagnosed with lung cancer, immunotherapy can slow the disease but not stop it. Funded through a $4 million joint investment from the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the Weston Family Foundation, a new clinical trial aims to change that.

The interim results of the GCC.1 / S1823 study were presented at ASCO 2026 during the Genitourinary Cancer Session. The study focuses on patients with early-stage germ cell tumors and the blood biomarker microribonucleic acid (miRNA) 371a-3p (called miR371). The presence of miR371 may allow clinicians to identify patients at higher risk of relapse earlier and more accurately than current monitoring approaches.
Final results from the CCTG HN.9 (EORTC 1740-HNCG) were presented at ASCO 2026, highlighting the challenges of reducing treatment intensity while maintaining outcomes for patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer. The study evaluated a cisplatin-free treatment approach combining immunotherapy (durvalumab) with radiation therapy in patients with intermediate-risk, HPV-positive, locally advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
New findings presented at ASCO 2026 demonstrate that a structured exercise program for colon cancer survivors improves survival outcomes and reduces healthcare system costs.
