Synergistic Growth Inhibition by Afatinib and Trametinib in Preclinical Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Models.

TL;DR: This study showed that afatinib inhibited oral squamous cell carcinoma cell proliferation via cell-cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase, and inhibited tumor growth in xenograft mouse models, and demonstrated reactivation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK1/2) pathway in vitro, which possibly reduced the effects of ErbB inhibition.

Emerging PD-1/PD-L1 antagonists for the treatment of malignant melanoma

TL;DR: The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors, which have revolutionized the treatment of metasta... as discussed by the authors, led to increased understanding of the interactive mechanisms between tumors and the immune system led to the development of the immune checkpoint inhibitor.

A multiple testing procedure for clinical trials.

TL;DR: The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.
