Mashup Score: 0American Society of Clinical Oncology Perspective: Raising the Bar for Clinical Trials by Defining Clinically Meaningful Outcomes - 2 year(s) ago
INTRODUCTIONSection: Cancer clinical trials have typically investigated agents or regimens in patients selected for study based primarily on tumor histology and clinical characteristics. This approach, when successful, has too often resulted in only small incremental improvements in overall survival (OS) that likely reflect the impact of agents with modest efficacy in a subset of the study…

Mashup Score: 1Adaptive immune resistance at the tumour site: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities - 2 year(s) ago
Tumours employ various tactics to adapt and eventually resist immune attack. These mechanisms are collectively called adaptive immune resistance (AIR). The first defined and therapeutically validated AIR mechanism is the selective induction of programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PDL1) by interferon-γ in the tumour. Blockade of PDL1 binding to its receptor PD1 by antibodies (anti-PD therapy) has…

Mashup Score: 9
PURPOSE To provide guidance on exercise, diet, and weight management during active cancer treatment in adults. METHODS A systematic review of the literature identified systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials evaluating the impact of aerobic and resistance exercise, specific diets and foods, and intentional weight loss and avoidance of weight gain in adults during cancer treatment, on…

Mashup Score: 1Pluto's uneven surface caused by volcanoes - 2 year(s) ago
Data culled from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft’s journey past Pluto in 2015 have been further analyzed, revealing that much of Pluto’s bumpy landscape got covered in ice via a process known as cryovolcanism. The report, published in Nature Communications, pinpoints many of the planet’s massive ice volcanoes that may still remain active.

Mashup Score: 0
The development of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has heralded a new era in cancer treatment, enabling the possibility of long-term survival in patients with metastatic disease, and providing new therapeutic indications in earlier-stage settings. As such, characterizing the long-term implicatio …

Mashup Score: 2Inappropriate censoring in Kaplan-Meier analyses - 2 year(s) ago
Edward Lynn Kaplan and Paul Meier worked separately analysing survival time data, both as graduate students at Princeton University and after graduation.1 In 1954, they independently submitted manuscripts to the Journal of the American Statistical Association, at which time John Tukey, their PhD mentor at Princeton and the journal’s editor, convinced them to combine their work into one manuscript.

This is a great article by two great investigators. Misuse of statistics lead either Twain or Disraeli to denote "lies, damned lies and statistics". Always read the methods section of every paper. Inappropriate censoring in Kaplan-Meier analyses https://t.co/ZxpPISMOHu
