Hossein Borghaei, DO, MS, discusses the importance of determining the most suitable treatment for patients with non–small cell lung cancer through the use of biomarker testing.

Stephen V. Liu, MD, discusses the benefits of conducting biomarker testing for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer and highlights the importance of waiting for the results before selecting a targeted treatment.

The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has recommended the approval of subcutaneous atezolizumab for all indications in which the intravenous formulation is approved, including certain types of lung, liver, bladder, and breast cancer

Concurrent administration of durvalumab and platinum-based chemoradiation failed to significantly improve progression-free survival over chemoradiation alone in patients with unresectable stage III non–small cell lung cancer, missing the primary end point of the phase 3 PACIFIC-2 trial.

After a re-examination procedure, the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has issued a positive opinion on the conditional marketing authorization application for adagrasib in the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C–mutated advanced non–small cell lung cancer whose disease progressed following at least 1 prior systemic treatment.

Stephen V. Liu, MD, discusses strategies for treatment and disease management for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer who are awaiting biomarker test results.

Ongoing research evaluating combination therapies for the frontline treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer could help improve survival outcomes for this patient population.

Nicholas C. Rohs, MD, delves into the details of the case study a patient who had a lung cancer relapse detected following a referral to a dermatologist due to pityriasis rubra pilaris.

Benjamin Besse, MD, PhD, discusses the results from the ATALANTE-1 trial and details the mechanism of action of the OSE2101 vaccine.

Richard Lazzaro, MD, FACS, discusses the advantages of standard low-dose computed tomography scans in lung cancer screening in high-risk individuals, as well as future opportunities to integrate biomarker-based assays into screening protocols to improve early detection.

Nicholas C. Rohs, MD, discusses a case study that he presented during the Interesting Cases session at the 18th Annual New York Lung Cancers Symposium®.

Benjamin Philip Levy, MD, discusses antibody-drug conjugates under investigation in patients with non–small cell lung cancer.

While there are considerable barriers to incorporating comprehensive genotyping, the use of circulating tumor DNA offers an improvement in molecular testing—and doing so earlier can accelerate the time to treatment and improve survival for patients with lung cancer.

As treatments for patients with stage IV non–small cell lung cancer continue to evolve, patients with PD-L1–negative disease represent a unique cohort and chemotherapy/immunotherapy or immunotherapy doublet regimens appear to be effective.

Although the emergence of immunotherapy have created additional treatment options for patients with various types of cancer, these agents are associated with significant toxicities and immune-related adverse effects.

Expert oncologist Alex Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, reviews primary results from the MARIPOSA study in advanced NSCLC following the ESMO 2023 annual meeting.

The expert panel discusses TROP2 as a target for patients with cancer who are receiving antibody-drug conjugates.

A review of antibody-drug conjugates approved for treatment of patients with breast, lung, or gastrointestinal cancers.

Ticiana Leal, MD, and Sandip P. Patel, MD, discuss clinical trials evaluating the use of patritumab deruxtecan in patients with non–small cell lung cancer and remaining unmet needs.

In their updated guidelines for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), ASCO has recommended the CDK4/6 inhibitor trilaciclib as a myeloid supportive agent for patients with untreated or previously treated extensive-stage SCLC who are receiving chemotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy.

Insights on managing antibody-drug conjugate toxicities for patients with gastric cancer.

A GI medical oncologist discusses the role of trastuzumab deruxtecan in the gastric cancer treatment space.

Clinical insights on where patritumab deruxtecan might fit in the treatment paradigm for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer.
