The Melanoma Research Alliance looks at the benefits and challenges of a cellular therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL).

After radiation, immunotherapy and chemo for melanoma, he tried an experimental therapy that uses TILs, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

Patients treated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes saw a 50% reduction in disease progression or death.

Patients who added Cabometyx to Opdivo and Yervoy had a 27% lower risk of disease progression or death.

An intravenous infusion of two immunotherapy drugs, Opdualag blocks activity of the proteins LAG-3 and PD-1.

Immunotherapy was far more effective than targeted therapy in extending survival for people with certain kinds of advanced melanoma.

A unique analysis measures treatment-free survival after immunotherapy in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

An advisory panel reviewed follow-up data on checkpoint inhibitors, voting to maintain four approvals and rescind two.

A combination of two immunotherapy drugs may be more effective than the current standard treatment, chemotherapy.

More people treated with Opdivo plus Yervoy reached the 6.5-year survival mark than those treated with either drug alone.

A larger Phase II trial has been launched to evaluate the combination’s efficacy and safety.

The immunotherapy combo improved overall survival compared with chemotherapy.

Metastatic kidney cancer patients with greater microbial diversity had better outcomes with immunotherapy.

The combination led to improved overall survival compared with chemotherapy.

A third of patients treated with Opdivo plus Yervoy experienced complete or partial tumor remission.
