Author Correction: The genomic landscape of response to EGFR blockade in colorectal cancer

In Extended Data Fig. 8 of this article, a micrograph shown in the left column (panel AZD) was inadvertently duplicated during figure preparation. The intended image was meant to show phospho-ERK (P-ERK) levels in a MAP2K1-mutant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) exposed to the MEK inhibitor AZD6244 (AZD). However, this image was accidentally overlaid with a micrograph from Extended Data Fig. 10 (left column, panel PAN), which displays P-ERK levels in an EGFR-mutant PDX exposed to panitumumab (PAN).

Lung cancer hijacks the brain to trick the immune system

For years, scientists have viewed cancer as a localized glitch in which cells refuse to stop dividing. But a new study suggests that, in certain organs, tumors actively communicate with the brain to trick it into protecting them. Scientists have long known that nerves grow into some tumors and that tumors containing lots of nerves usually lead to a worse prognosis.

The physician and researcher is leading a study that presented the first promising results of a colon cancer vaccine in a small group of patients suffering from a rare disease that makes them 17 times more likely to develop colon cancer than the general population.

Why cancer can come back years later - and how to stop it

When Lisa Dutton was declared free of breast cancer in 2017, she took a moment to celebrate with family and friends, even though she knew her cancer journey might not be over. As many as one-third of people whose breast tumours are cleared see the disease come back, sometimes decades later. Many other cancers are known to recur in the years following an initial treatment, some at much higher rates.

mRNA cancer vaccine shows protection at 5-year follow-up, Moderna and Merck say

As for side effects, the companies reported that little had changed from previous analyses; adverse events were similar between the two groups. The top side effects linked to the vaccine were fatigue, injection site pain, and chills. The results "highlight the potential of a prolonged benefit" of the vaccine combined with Keytruda in patients with high-risk melanoma," Kyle Holen, a senior vice president at Moderna, said. They also "illustrate mRNA's potential in cancer care," he said, noting that the company has eight more Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials going for mRNA vaccines against a variety of other cancers, including lung, bladder, and kidney cancers.
