Terapia de segunda línea para pacientes con cáncer pulmonar de células no pequeñas y con la cinasa de linfoma anaplásico (CLA) positiva.
Para los pacientes que progresaron a crizotinib, en este momento hay dos fármacos: ceritinib que se puede considerar si el paciente progresa con crizotinib, y hay otro fármaco llamado alectinib que es la tercera línea para pacientes que progresan en terapia dirigida para ALK.
Lo que uno tiene que saber, es que, por la resistencia adquirida a uno de estos fármacos, uno tiene que checar la biopsia porque puede ser que el paciente no responda a estas terapias y necesite quimioterapia.
Second line therapy for non-small lung cell cancer and with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (CLA) positive
For patients that progressed to crizotinib, in this moment there are two drugs available: ceritinib that can be considered if the patient progresses with crizotinib and the other drug is alectinib which is a third line treatment for patients that progressed with ALK targeted treatment.
What we have to know is that, for acquired resistance to one of these drugs, one has to check the biopsy because the patient might not respond to these therapies and might need chemotherapy.

Dr. Singhi's reprise about appropriate treatment, "Right patient, right time, right team".
An antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) works a bit like a Trojan horse. It has three main components:
Bispecifics, or bispecific antibodies, are advanced immunotherapy drugs engineered to have two binding sites, allowing them to latch onto two different targets simultaneously, like a cancer cell and a T-cell, effectively...
The prefix “oligo–” means few. Oligometastatic (at diagnosis) Oligoprogression (during treatment)
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.

Biomarkers are genetic mutations (like EGFR, ALK, KRAS, BRAF) or protein levels (like PD-L1) in tumor cells that help guide personalized treatment, especially NSCLC, directing patients to targeted therapies or immunotherapies...

A Brief Tornado. I love the analogy Dr. Antonoff gave us to describe her presentation. I felt it earlier too and am looking forward to going back for deeper dive.
