The FDA withdrew Zepzelca’s accelerated approval for small cell lung cancer after the LAGOON trial failed to show longer survival. Its maintenance use with Tecentriq is unaffected.

In the phase 3 MAVERICK trial, people with small cell lung cancer who had regular brain MRIs instead of preventive whole-brain radiation kept their memory and thinking intact longer, with no clear survival difference so far.

The FDA has granted two Breakthrough Therapy Designations to AbbVie's investigational drug Temab-A, one for use in metastatic colorectal cancer and one for non-small cell lung cancer, based on early-phase trial data.

A Phase 3 trial of firmonertinib did not meet its main goal in a hard-to-treat lung cancer subtype, though the drug caused fewer serious side effects than chemotherapy.

A phase 3 trial found that adding Imdelltra to Imfinzi maintenance improved survival in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, while another drug's application was pulled. Here's what patients should know.

September brought new options for breast, lung, kidney, bile duct, skin and neuroendocrine cancers, plus a brain tumor scan and easier lung cancer treatment.

Ivonescimab outperformed Keytruda, a new myeloma drug lowered progression risk by 60% and more: the biggest phase 3 cancer results of September 2026.

After a lung cancer diagnosis, one Bronx writer reflects on faith, survivorship and learning that healing isn't a finish line, but a daily journey.

Dr. David DiBardino explains how intratumoral therapy is being studied to deliver treatment directly into tumors and potentially enhance radiation in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

In patients with advanced ROS1-positive lung cancer who had not previously received a ROS1-targeted drug, Jideytro also shrank tumors that had spread to the brain in all 10 evaluable patients.

An estimated 70% of patients with stage 3 lung cancer do not see their tumors respond to standard treatment. An expert explains why, and what a new approach aims to change.

Three new studies from WCLC 2026 show strong results in ROS1-positive NSCLC, EGFR-mutant NSCLC and relapsed small cell lung cancer, offering fresh options.

Four of seven patients had no visible cancer on scans in early data from CONVERGE, a trial testing a tumor injection meant to boost radiation in lung cancer.

FDA approves an updated Ibtrozi label for locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC, reflecting nearly four years of response data.

In the phase 3 DESTINY-Lung04 trial, patients with HER2-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with Enhertu went a median of 14.3 months without their disease worsening, compared with 8.3 months with immunotherapy plus chemotherapy.

In the phase 3 ADAURA trial, 79% of patients who took Tagrisso for three years after lung cancer surgery were alive at eight years, compared with 64% of patients who received a placebo.

WCLC 2026 brought new lung cancer data on HER2-mutant, PD-L1-positive and EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Here's what patients should know about three key studies.

Diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma at 21 and given 18 months to live, a survivor reflects on what turning 40 means nearly two decades later.

Lung cancer treatment has changed rapidly since 2021, with new targeted drugs, immunotherapy and treatments designed to overcome resistance.

FDA grants accelerated approval to Hyrnuo (sevabertinib) for certain patients with HER2-mutated, advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

T-cell engagers and other cellular therapies could help the immune system recognize and target lung cancer, including small cell lung cancer.

NEJM-published phase 1/2 data show RASONQUE achieved a 42% response rate and 89% disease control in RAS mutant metastatic lung cancer.

Lung cancer patient and her father, a cancer survivor and caregiver, share how community, hope and self-advocacy helped them through treatment.

Tagrisso plus Orpathys improved progression-free survival in patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer and MET overexpression, SANOVO trial shows.

Juanita Segura shares her nearly 12-year lung cancer journey, the power of community and why she advocates for biomarker testing and hope.
