The Food and Drug Administration gave the green light to a phase 1/2 trial of KSQ-001EX for patients with melanoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer.

The recent FDA approval of the next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor Augtyro provides patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer another treatment option when the disease becomes resistant to other therapies.

As Shannen Doherty revealed her cancer diagnoses and upcoming podcast and a woman with breast cancer completed her bucket list, here is what’s happening in the oncology space this week.

Treatment with Imfinzi for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC and limited physical performance status offered beneficial overall survival and maintained quality of life.

A recent study revealed that patients with recurrent or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer tended to have better overall survival compared with those diagnosed with stage 4 disease.

A recent study found that healthy tissue near the sites of lung tumors may contain genetic information that could serve as a predictor of possible cancer recurrence.

Dr. Nabil Rizk, chief of thoracic surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center, explains that segmentectomy is “just a little bit more of a refined way of treating cancers.”

Diane Messick, a three-time lung cancer survivor, tells CURE® about her cancer journey which has included a segmentectomy, a lobectomy and radiation treatment since receiving her first diagnosis in 2017.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors and stereotactic radiosurgery do not increase the risk of necrosis among patients with NSCLC who have brain metastases, according to research.

New research revealed that genetic information near healthy tissue surrounding lung tumors may have a better change of determining recurrence in patients with lung cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Augtyro for patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer based on a phase 1/2 trial.
