Imfinzi demonstrated unprecedented survival in unresectable, Stage III lung cancer with 43% of patients surviving five years
Updated results from the positive PACIFIC Phase III trial showed AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi (durvalumab) demonstrated a sustained, clinically meaningful overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) benefit at five years in patients with unresectable, Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had not progressed following concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT).
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death accounting for about one-fifth of all cancer deaths, and 80-85% of patients with lung cancer have NSCLC.
1-3 One in four patients with NSCLC are diagnosed at Stage III, where the majority of tumours are unresectable (cannot be removed with surgery).
KITCHENER People in Blair fighting a controversial land development for a warehouse are strategizing with others who have successfully fought against similar zoning orders. Earlier this year, the City of Cambridge approved the Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) for a proposed, million square-foot warehouse that fast tracks development. Since then, people who live nearby the possible site have been pushing against it. This includes starting a petition and hiring a lawyer who has fought against another MZO. “If anyone thinks the residents of Blair aren’t prepared to fight for their environment, for future generations, and for the rule of law then they are fooling themselves,” said lawyer David Donnelly.
KITCHENER Victoria Park was the scene of another outpouring of grief for the children whose lives were lost in Canada’s residential schools. Many gathered in the Kitchener park Thursday evening and placed tiny pairs of footwear, toys, and candles out at the bell tower in memory the children. One organizer of the event say this is not only a story that represents a dark chapter in Canada’s past, but also an ongoing struggle. “We just wanted to amplify the youth voices as well because I don’t think a lot of people understand the intergenerational trauma that a lot of youth face,” said co-organizer Jack Forler.
