Lung Cancer

In an interview with OncLive, Mark G. Kris, MD discusses how the treatment of patients with metastatic lung cancer today bears scant resemblance to what it was when he entered the field 4 decades ago.

The phase 3 ADAURA trial continues to generate a lot conversation, debate, and excitement in the lung cancer community after results showed that adjuvant osimertinib showed a statistically significant improvement in disease-free survival in patients with stage IB-IIIA EGFR-positive non–small cell lung cancer, making it the first agent to do so in the space.

Treatment with afatinib followed by osimertinib resulted in a median overall survival benefit of almost 4 years in US patients with EGFR T790M–positive non–small cell lung cancer in the real-world setting.

In a special OncLive video program, The Board, Joshua M. Bauml, MD, led a discussion regarding key abstracts that were presented during the 2020 ASCO Virtual Scientific Program in non–small cell lung cancer .
