Second-line tislelizumab + anlotinib + chemo shows potential to improve ES-SCLC survival
A treatment regimen combining tislelizumab, anlotinib, and two cycles of irinotecan in the second-line setting demonstrates favourable efficacy and safety in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), according to the results of the single-arm phase II ESTAIL study.
AI tool reads histology slides to predict lung cancer mutations
DeepGEM, a novel tool that harnesses artificial intelligence (AI), delivers accurate, timely, and economical gene mutation prediction from routinely acquired histology slides, enhancing the efficiency of lung cancer mutation screening, according to a study.
Music a perioperative aide for lung cancer patients?
Individuals with resectable stage IA to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who plan to receive minimally invasive lung surgery may benefit from intensity-based personalized music therapy (IBP-MT) suggests the phase II Music of Lung Health II study.
MARIPOSA update: Amivantamab-lazertinib bests osimertinib for EGFRm NSCLC at 3 years
The updated efficacy analysis of the phase III MARIPOSA trial continues to favour amivantamab plus lazertinib over osimertinib for first-line (1L) treatment of patients with EGFR-mutant (EGFRm) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Cemiplimab improves 5-year survival in advanced NSCLC
First-line cemiplimab monotherapy continues to provide durable overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) benefits at 5 years compared with chemotherapy in advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with PD-L1 expression ≥50 percent, according to the results of the EMPOWER-Lung 1 study presented at WCLC 2024.
Osimertinib after CRT safe, effective in unresectable stage III EGFR-mutated NSCLC
Treatment with osimertinib following definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) demonstrates a manageable safety profile in patients with unresectable stage III EGFR-mutated nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), reports a study presented at WCLC 2024.
