Drs. H. Jack West, Joan Schiller, and Isabel Preeshagul gathered this past year (virtually) to review information presented at ASCO and ESMO 2021, regarding patients dealing with a Lung Cancer diagnosis.

For this series, the doctors discuss new trials for patients with NSCLC and SCLC.  The video discussions cover the following topics:

  • IMpower010: Atezolizumab after Chemo in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Surgical Outcomes and Checkmate 816: Addition of Nivolumab in Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • FDA Analysis of Immunotherapy With or Without Chemo in Advanced NSCLC and Low PDL-1
  • Poseidon Trial: Durvalumab +/- Tremelimumab vs. Chemo Alone
  • Carbo/Pemetrexed/Pembro and Acquired Resistance in EGFRm+ or ALK+ NSCLC
  • Immune Therapy for Brain Metastases
  • CodeBreak 100: Sotorasib in KRAS G12C Mutation
  • Amivantamab and Mobocertinib for EGFR Exon 20
  • Amivantamab + Lazertinib in EGFR Mutation, Patritumab Deruxtecan in EGFR Mutation-Positive Acquired Resistance
  • MYLUNG Consortium: Overall Biomarker Testing
  • Lurbinectedin in Small Cell Lung Cancer and the Failed Atlantis Trial
  • Circulatory Tumor DNA

There will be a discussion, “Studies in Oligometastatic NSCLC: Current Data and Definitions,” which will focus on what we...

Radiation therapy is primarily a localized treatment, meaning it precisely targets a specific tumor or area of the body, unlike systemic treatments (like chemotherapy) that affect the whole body.
