Nectin-4 is an important target that has been shown to be available as a treatment for locally advanced and advanced bladder cancer. Based on this, Padcev (enfortumab-vedotin-ejfv), the first ADC drug (antibody-coupled drug) for uroepithelial carcinoma, has also received accelerated FDA approval for the treatment of locally advanced or advanced bladder cancer in patients who have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-L1, PD-1) and platinum-containing chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) or after surgery (adjuvant therapy). Adult patients with advanced or late-stage uroepithelial carcinoma (a common type of bladder cancer).

CAR-T therapy is a cellular immunotherapy treatment that has become very popular in recent years. This therapy uses genetic engineering techniques to upgrade the patient's immune T cells in vitro, before entering the body to exert a powerful anti-cancer effect. Currently, CAR-T therapy has performed very well in blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukaemia.

As more and more organisms become resistant to antibiotics, the threat to human health is increasing. The overuse of antibiotics leads to drug resistance. It is very important to limit the use of antibiotics. The research team of the University of Alberta in Canada has recently developed a hand-held detection instrument, which allows first-line clinicians to distinguish between patients with viral infection or bacterial infection within a few minutes, thus helping to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and overuse of antibiotics. Because antibiotics are only effective for bacteria, if the patient is infected with virus, there is no need to prescribe antibiotics.

When it comes to the breath detector, everyone will think of the thing used by the traffic police to check drinking and driving.

PET/CT and PET/MRI, the world's leading-edge imaging screening devices, have extremely significant advantages in the early screening and diagnosis of a wide range of benign and malignant tumours throughout the body, the nervous system and the cardiovascular system, and can detect tumours as small as millimetres, especially useful for the early detection and treatment of liver cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.

In the early stages of atherosclerotic disease, most patients have almost no clinical symptoms and develop in a latent state of insidiousness.

A new study has found that Istradefylline, a drug already approved to treat Parkinson's disease, not only reduces the toxicity associated with the chemotherapy drug cisplatin, but also boosts its cancer-fighting power, promising a potential treatment to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
