TL;DR: Among previously untreated patients with metastatic melanoma, nivolumab alone or combined with ipilimumab resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than ipILimumab alone, and in patients with PD-L1-negative tumors, the combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade was more effective than either agent alone.

TL;DR: Elotinib can prolong survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer after first-line or second-line chemotherapy, and five percent of patients discontinued erlot inib because of toxic effects.

TL;DR: Among patients with advanced melanoma, significantly longer overall survival occurred with combination therapy with nivolumab plus ipilimumab or with n ivolumAB alone than with ipil optimumab alone.

TL;DR: Among patients with advanced melanoma, sustained long-term overall survival at 5 years was observed in a greater percentage of patients who received nivolumab plus ipilimumab or nivoliumab alone than in those who received ipil optimumab alone, with no apparent loss of quality of life in the patients whoreceived regimens containing nivolinumab.

TL;DR: Ipilimumab elicited a dose-dependent effect on efficacy and safety measures in pretreated patients with advanced melanoma, lending support to further studies at a dose of 10 mg/kg.
