Here are a few highlights of cancer research news that have recently caught my attention:

• Researchers at allied cancer institutes have found that patients with melanoma receiving the drug nivolumab had longer periods of remission.  The complete study is published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
• Anti-psychotic drugs offer new hopes for patients with glioblastoma according to a study by researchers at the University of California, San Diego.
• Researchers at the Dana Farber Institute have found an “exceptional” response from targeted drugs while treating a patient with advanced bladder cancer.  The study is published in the journal Cancer Discovery.
