Drs. Ross Camidge and Corey Langer provide their perspective on the likelihood that molecular oncology principles and targeted therapies will become more broadly applicable for patients with squamous and other lung cancer subtypes.

Drs. Ross Camidge and Corey Langer offer their insights on how to approach a patient with gradual progression in a single site, especially in the brain, or more multifocal progression after a good initial response to a targeted agent for lung cancer.

Drs. Ross Camidge and Corey Langer offer their perspectives on the most encouraging emerging targets that could become valuable additions to our lung cancer treatment menu in the next several years.

Drs. Ross Camidge and Corey Langer discuss which patients with advanced NSCLC they would recommend should have a repeat biopsy if their initial tissue sample doesn't have sufficient tissue for molecular testing.

After the last several posts have discussed our friend and lung cancer expert Dr. Ross Camidge, we'll turn to the related topic of ROS mutations, which have been the subject of research by Dr. Ross Camidge (though apparently not named for him) and also researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital. This is a gene for a DNA repair protein, and the tyrosine kinase binding portion (the part that gets turned on to set off a cascade of downstream intracellular events) for ROS1 is very similar to that for ALK.
