Nivolumab plus chemotherapy does not improve PFS in EGFR-mutated NSCLC
CheckMate 722 trial fails to meet its primary endpoint in patients with cancer progressing on one or two prior lines of EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors
Tobacco use is still a neglected cancer risk factor in Asia
Tailored strategies based on existing technologies and digital tools are needed to help inform people in geographically difficult-to-reach communities
Dynamic immunoediting of tumours may hold the clue to effective treatment with immunotherapy
Success of immunotherapy is tied to tumour evolution from early- to late-stages, as a study in non-small-cell lung cancer highlights
Sotorasib improves PFS versus docetaxel in patients with pre-treated KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC
Results from the CodeBreaK 200 trial represent an improvement for a difficult-to-treat patient population
Could anti-PD-L1 be the best choice as front-line therapy in platinum-ineligible patients with NSCLC?
Findings show overall survival benefits with front-line atezolizumab versus single-agent chemotherapy, but questions remain regarding who might benefit
Lack of clinical benefit with adjuvant canakinumab in completely resected NSCLC
Negative results from the CANOPY-A trial do not support use in the adjuvant setting
A pathway from air pollution to lung cancer in non-smokers has been identified
In a study presented at ESMO Congress 2022, air pollution is shown to drive interleukin-1β release in cells with EGFR mutations to promote lung cancer development
Perioperative survival after bilobectomy is worse than lobectomy
Although bilobectomy remains a valid procedure, comparatively high mortality rates indicate that cautious use and appropriate patient counselling is required
Encouraging safety data for the use of durvalumab after sequential chemotherapy in stage III unresectable NSCLC
Findings from the PACIFIC-6 trial echo the benefits seen with durvalumab after concomitant chemoradiotherapy, representing a potential alternative for vulnerable and older patients
Results for two new third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors do not suggest advantages over osimertinib
Alternatives to osimertinib for first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated NSCLC are explored among Asian populations
