    Years of research into the molecular biology of lung cancer have uncovered the complexities of this deadly disease and what drives it. Today, we know there are several different driver mutations that may be underlying causes of lung cancer, and correctly identifying them is a crucial first step to an accurate diagnosis. We spoke with Jyoti Patel, MD, Professor of Medicine at Northwestern…

    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…

    The FDA recently approved the PD-1 inhibitor cemiplimab-rwlc for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score ≥50%), as determined by an FDA-approved test.

    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.

    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…
