Lung Cancer

After getting over the shock of being diagnosed with a rare cancer, I could only think about returning to my “normal” self, but I later discovered that the normal I was trying to return to would change.

For three-and-a-half years, my cancer was stable.

Patients treated with 12 months of Lixiana, an anticoagulant therapy, received a greater benefit than those treated with three months of the therapy.

The addition of Tumor Treating Fields to standard therapy tended to improve overall survival in patients with pretreated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

The use of Gavreto is shown to be effective and very well-tolerated in patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC, according to an expert.

When asked for recommended treatments for certain types of cancer, ChatGPT missed the mark about one-third of the time, research showed.

Someone was watching over me the day I was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer.

The Oncologic Drug Advisory Committee will review data to determine if Lumakras should gain FDA approval for certain patients with KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.

Chemoimmunotherapy was tested in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer to determine its effect based on different performance statuses.

I am a big believer in the proverbial toolbox.

The members of my lung cancer support group recently came up with some responses for when people ask us, "So you have lung cancer — did you smoke?"

Don’t waste your cancer.

This regular approval provides Gavreto as a treatment option for patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

Tecentriq, compared with chemotherapy, improved survival while maintaining quality-of-life in patients with non-small cell lung cancer considered ineligible for platinum-based chemotherapy.

I’ve heard of many stories of friendships dwindling after someone has been diagnosed with cancer. One thing about it is that I can relate.

Researchers conducting this trial will compare zipalertinib plus chemotherapy with chemotherapy alone in patients with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with the EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation.

Patients with non-small cell lung cancer who recently received surgery are more susceptible to wildfire smoke exposure, worsening their overall survival rate.

After being diagnosed with lung cancer, I found a group of patients with a similar diagnosis to me. Together, we protect each other like the clown fish and anemone at the bottom of the sea.

The treatment combination of Rybrevant and chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival rates for patients newly diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations.

A randomized clinical trial, CHEERS, determined that the combination of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) were ineffective as treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors.

I think it was Theodore Geisel (aka Dr Seuss) who said “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

A blood test protocol proved to be more effective than US Preventative Services Task Force criteria for predicting which patients are at a higher risk of dying from lung cancer.

Patients with both metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and preexisting diabetes mellitus have different outcomes depending on treatment and treatment combinations, particularly with Keytruda and chemotherapy

Patients 65 years and older with NSCLC and undergoing treatment with immunotherapy, chemotherapy and/or targeted therapy were more likely to have worse survival outcomes and declines in activity of daily living.

Patients with stage non-small cell lung cancer tended to have better outcomes when Opdivo was added to their pre-surgical chemotherapy treatment.
