An immunotherapy showed promising results in a small trial of rectal cancer patients, according to new research, but further study is needed and it is too early to call it a cure. @ErinBurnett talks to oncologist Dr. Andrea Cercek about the trial: cnn.it/39cq7Bx
In a new cancer drug trial, researchers treated patients who had rectal cancer with an experimental drug called "dostarlimab." In all 14 cases - the cancer vanished. Every single patient is now in remission. @AndreaCercek an oncologist who helped with the study tells me how.
Very proud of our study published in @NEJM. 100% clinical complete response with dostarlimab alone in mismatch repair-deficient locally advanced #RectalCancer. No radiation or surgery! @ASCO #ASCO22 @MSKCancerCenter nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
