A study has identified how an existing medication could improve immunotherapy outcomes for fibrolamellar carcinoma. The rare liver cancer currently has no cure and often spreads before detection. Researchers demonstrated the approach using patient tumor samples.

A Phase II randomized trial found that a six-week, home-based walking and resistance program improved attention test performance and reduced reports that others noticed cognitive problems among patients receiving chemotherapy. Low-dose ibuprofen improved some attention measures but showed mixed results on memory outcomes. The study was published in Cancer.
