D'Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) played an important role in the phase III LIBRETTO-431 multicenter study, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of selpercatinib compared to control treatment, which consisted of platinum-based chemotherapy associated or not with pembrolizumab (immune checkpoint inhibitor) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The research was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), one of the most important scientific publications in the medical field, and included Dr. Milena Perez Mak, IDOR researcher and clinical oncologist at the São Paulo State Cancer Institute (Icesp). 

Published in the scientific journal “Religion, Brain & Behavior”, a study led by the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) evaluated and mapped the perceptions of over a thousand spectators participating in the Festival of the Nine Emperor Gods, a celebration that gathers approximately one million people in several Asian countries and has predominantly religious significance.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cancer type that originates in the bone marrow. Despite being considered a rare disease, it is the most common type of acute leukemia and progresses rapidly, necessitating immediate treatment.

This situation has prompted Latin American scientists to seek a comprehensive understanding of AML on their continent, with a primary focus on the therapies and diagnostic methods available for this population.
