Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyNivolumab versus sorafenib in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (CheckMate 459): a randomised, multicentre, open-label, phase 3 trial.
Single-agent nivolumab showed durable responses, manageable safety, and promising survival in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in the phase 1-2 CheckMate 040 study. We aimed to investigate nivolumab monotherapy compared with sorafenib monotherapy in the first-line setting for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. ⋯ Bristol Myers Squibb in collaboration with Ono Pharmaceutical.

Imaging is paramount for the early detection and clinical staging of breast cancer, as well as to inform management decisions and direct therapy. PET-MRI is a quantitative hybrid imaging technology that combines metabolic and functional PET data with anatomical detail and functional perfusion information from MRI. ⋯ In this Review, we discuss the rationale and summarise the clinical evidence for the use of PET-MRI in the diagnosis, staging, prognosis, tumour phenotyping, and assessment of treatment response in breast cancer. The continued development and approval of targeted radiopharmaceuticals, together with radiomics and automated analysis tools, will further expand the opportunity for PET-MRI to provide added value for breast cancer imaging and patient care.
