Mashup Score: 0
Researchers at the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have discovered a new metabolic vulnerability in a highly aggressive form of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These findings could pave the way for new treatments for patients with mutations in two key genes—KRAS and LKB1. Patients whose tumors contain both of these mutations, known as KL tumors, have poor…

Mashup Score: 0Potential Combined Drug Therapy for NSCLC - 3 year(s) ago
Most lung cancers are of a type called non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). This type of cancer is relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, so NSCLC therapies are usually based on drug treatment. Alectinib is a drug commonly used for treating patients with NSCLC.

Mashup Score: 1Immunotherapy Creates Balancing Act for Patients With NSCLC - 3 year(s) ago
The results of a large, retrospective study of patients who received a form of immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) revealed that patients may get more than one immune-related side effect, and identified a correlation between these multisystem immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and improved patient survival.

Neoadjuvant atezolizumab was well-tolerated by patients with stage IB-IIIB lung cancer, according to the primary analysis of the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) 3 study. “The LCMC3 study is a unique trial in that it is the largest monotherapy trial of checkpoint inhibition in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),” noted Jay M. Lee, MD, from the UCLA Medical Center, who presented…
