Gunuganti, MD, an adjunct faculty member in the Division of Medical Oncology at the University of Texas Health San Antonio, as well as a hematologist and medical oncologist at Texas Oncology–San Antonio Northeast, to discuss current frontline treatment options in advanced, driver-negative non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
