Dr. Mark Socinski covered the TAILOR trial, an Italian study directly comparing second line Taxotere (docetaxel) to Tarceva (erlotinib) in advanced NSCLC patients without an EGFR mutation, in the ASCO Lung Cancer Highlights program. However, as a preview to his comments you'll find in the podcast here, I'll share that he wasn't fond of the trial or the questionable value of the results from it.
Still, the trial is among the ones likely to be most discussed in the field of lung cancer from ASCO 2012, so it's worth hearing what it showed, along with an expert perspective of how to interpret it. Below, you'll find the audio and video versions of the podcast along with the transcript and figures.
