Lung Cancer

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.

Every individual is unique in their own way.

The Keytruda-Lenvima combination had promising anti-tumor activity for patients with pleural mesothelioma following disease progression after chemotherapy.

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.

Here are ways to become a patient advocate.

U.S. veterans face exposures during military service and disparities at home.

Friendship means the world throughout a cancer experience.

Managing side effects from lung cancer treatment with dose reductions is an approach experts have been using more, even though some patients voice concerns about lowering a drug’s impact on the disease.

Patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer responded well to the treatment of Trodelvy, according to preliminary results from a phase 2 trial.

Two phase 3 randomized trials focused on evaluating the safety and efficiency of anamorelin to treat adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer linked with weight loss and cachexia.
