Advances in ALK Targeted Therapy for Neuroblastoma

Significant advances have been made to understand the association between ALK genetic aberrations and disease prognosis in neuroblastoma. ALK targeted therapies are evolving quickly and several randomized controlled trials of ALK inhibitors are underway or nearing completion in adult cancers. Ongoing research will bring new challenges and newer technologies to fully define the pathogenic and pr...

Advances in the targeted therapy of liposarcoma

Liposarcoma (LPS) is the most common type of soft-tissue sarcoma. Complete surgical resection is the only curative means for localized disease; however, both radiation and conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy remain controversial for metastatic or unresectable disease. An increasing number of trials with novel targeted therapy of LPS have provided encouraging data during recent years. This revie...

Advances in targeted therapy for melanoma.

Metastatic melanoma remains an aggressive malignancy conferring a very poor prognosis, and standard chemotherapeutic and immunologic treatments have not demonstrated an overall survival benefit. No molecularly targeted therapy is approved for the treatment of advanced melanoma. Melanoma is a molecularly heterogeneous malignancy, and optimal treatment in a given patient is likely to depend on th...
