Approaches to Biomarker Testing in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Data from the phase 3 eXalt3 trial support the approval of ensartinib in adult patients with metastatic ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer.

Georgios Evangelou, MD, MSc, speaks to the potential utility of neoadjuvant capecitabine/temozolomide in well-differentiated atypical carcinoids.

These data support less restrictive clinical trial eligibility criteria for those with metastatic NSCLC. This is especially true regarding both targeted therapy and immunotherapy treatment regimens.

Terence T. Sio, MD, MS, highlights advances such as proton beam radiotherapy that may improve outcomes for those with non–small cell lung cancer.

For patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer, sacituzumab tirumotecan was given the breakthrough drug designation by the FDA.

Despite gaps in biomarker testing accessibility, the lung cancer survival rate has improved by 26% over the last 5 years.
