Dr. Halmos on Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in NSCLC

November 14th 2022

Balazs Halmos, MD, discusses the importance of testing for HER2 mutations and exon 20 insertions, which are emerging new targets in non–small cell lung cancer, and how fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki meets needs for patients with HER2-mutant disease.

Dr. Kris on Immunotherapy in NSCLC Without Driver Mutations

November 14th 2022

Mark G. Kris, MD, discusses the role of immunotherapy in patients with non–small cell lung cancer without driver mutations.

Checkpoint Inhibitor Challenges Warrant Consideration for a Targeted Approach in NSCLC

November 14th 2022

In treating patients with locally advanced non–small cell lung cancer, one must consider multiple factors when deciding whether to treat them with immunotherapy or a targeted approach, even though the optimal treatment sequence has yet to be definitively established.

Osimertinib Remains the Preferred Frontline Choice for EGFR-Mutated NSCLC

November 14th 2022

Osimertinib remains the preferred first-line therapy for patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer. However, for those with classic EGFR mutations, the day is fast approaching when physicians will add chemotherapy to first-line treatment with the EGFR TKI based on ctDNA results.

Targeting the ‘New Kids on the Block’ in NSCLC: EGFR Exon 20 and MET Exon 14 Skipping Mutations

November 14th 2022

Investigators are harnessing comprehensive molecular profiling to detect new targets, optimize existing treatment regimens, and develop novel therapies for patients with EGFR and MET exon 20–insertion positive non–small cell lung cancer.

Dr. Saxena on a Challenging Case of NSCLC

November 8th 2021

Ashish Saxena, MD, PhD, discusses a challenging case of a patient with non–small cell lung cancer.

Dr. Zauderer on the Importance of Optimizing Care in Mesothelioma

November 8th 2021

Marjorie G. Zauderer, MD, discusses the importance of optimizing care for patients with mesothelioma.

Overcoming Mechanisms of Resistance Remains at the Forefront for EGFR-Mutant NSCLC

November 8th 2021

Although next-generation TKIs have helped to overcome resistance in EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer, a more complete understanding of resistance mechanisms may lead to the ability to overcome resistance to the next generation of these drugs.

KRAS G12C Inhibitors Enter the Spotlight in NSCLC

November 8th 2021

The era of direct inhibitors to treat KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer has arrived in the clinic.

Future of Lung Cancer Treatment Looks Bright With Emerging Technologies, Novel Discoveries

November 8th 2021

Mark G. Kris, MD, discusses recent progress in non–small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, efforts being made to address unmet needs in these paradigms, and ongoing research that is generating excitement.

Examining New Approaches to Management of Immune-Related AEs in Lung Cancer

November 6th 2021

With the rise of immunotherapy, patients with lung cancer are experiencing improved outcomes that have allowed for prolonged survival, but it is important to ensure that the adverse effects associated with these novel agents are effectively managed so that their achieved efficacy does not come at the cost of quality of life.

Immunotherapy/Chemo Combos Remain Go-To Option in Growing Small Cell Lung Cancer Paradigm

November 6th 2021

Chemoimmunotherapy is the new frontline standard of care for patients with small cell lung cancer, and other novel agents, such as, bispecific T-cell engagers are in the pipeline and gaining momentum for those who experience disease progression.

Timing of Immunotherapy Stoppage in Lung Cancer Varies Depending on Progression, AEs, and Cure

November 6th 2021

Each situation for stopping immunotherapy in lung cancer has its own complex nuances to consider before the decision is made to cease treatment.

Dr. Brahmer on the Utility of Consolidative Immunotherapy Vs Targeted Therapy in NSCLC

November 6th 2021
