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
Atezolizumab shows little heterogeneity in efficacy in high PD-L1 expressers with stage II–IIIA NSCLC
Results from the subgroup analysis of the IMpower010 study also report some patterns of relapse that are in contrast with previously presented findings
Assessing pathological response after neoadjuvant treatment for NSCLC
Much progress has been made in the standardisation of pathological response but optimising viable tumour cutoffs for predicting long-term outcome after different treatment modalities and by histological type remain key areas for investigation
Encouraging results with savolitinib in NSCLC with MET exon14 skipping mutations
Overall survival data are in line with those from other MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors and show promise in a tumour subtype with poor prognosis
Patient-reported outcomes favour first-line three-drug combination in metastatic NSCLC
Health-related quality of life data from the POSEIDON study support previous efficacy findings for the benefits of a two-agent immunotherapy regimen plus chemotherapy over chemotherapy alone
Fred R. Hirsch receives the Heine H. Hansen Award 2022
In his Award Keynote Lecture at the European Lung Cancer Congress 2022, Prof. Fred R. Hirsch describes how ‘the tissue is still the issue’
How long should we give immunotherapy for?
The length of immunotherapy course for metastatic lung cancer was arbitrarily set at 2 years in clinical trials, but definitive studies investigating the optimum duration against the risk-benefit profile are lacking
How can we continue to improve outcomes for our patients with lung cancer?
Advances made in the treatment of advanced lung cancer are now being introduced at earlier stages of disease
Poziotinib does not meet the expectations to target insertion mutations in HER2 exon 20 in NSCLC
The tyrosine kinase inhibitor shows signs of efficacy in treatment-naïve NSCLC with HER2 exon 20 insertions, but its safety profile remains a limiting factor
Combining WEE1 inhibition with PD-L1 blockade shows promise in SCLC models
Blocking the tyrosine kinase cell-cycle progression regulator WEE1 may help to reinstate tumour immunogenicity and potentiate the effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors
