Personalized therapy for non–small cell lung cancer has evolved significantly with the advent of comprehensive molecular testing.

Closing insights into managing EGFR-mutant NSCLC, from evolving treatment options and sequencing strategies to addressing unmet needs and the importance of comprehensive genomic testing.

Unmet needs in EGFR exon 20 insertion lung cancer, emphasizing the importance of early identification, selectivity against wild type EGFR, CNS activity, and mechanisms of resistance.

Experts discuss the rapidly evolving treatment landscape for EGFR exon 20 insertion lung cancer, highlighting recent advancements in therapies, clinical trial results, and the quest for first-line treatment options, providing valuable insights into managing this unique patient population.

Learn about the latest developments in the treatment of lung cancer, focusing on EGFR mutations, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), targeted therapies, and biomarker-driven approaches to improve patient outcomes in various stages of the disease.

Shared insight into the complexities in treating EGFR mutant lung cancer during the second-line therapy phase, including safety profiles of different treatment regimens, managing toxicities, and ongoing research to improve patient outcomes.

Experts consider the influence of combination therapies on EGFR-mutant lung cancer treatment, including the impact on central nervous system (CNS) response, challenges in CNS metastases management, and the potential alternatives to whole-brain radiation.

Explore significant updates in the field of EGFR-mutant lung cancer treatment, focusing on the introduction of combination therapy in the first-line setting, including the FLAURA2., MARIPOSA, and RAMOSE trials, offering improved progression-free survival and potential implications for patient care.

Insights into diagnosing EGFR-mutant lung cancer and explores evolving first-line treatment strategies, incorporating recent developments, combinations, and clinical trial data, while addressing challenges in testing and patient management.

In this review, we discuss recent clinical investigations that highlight the effects of novel compounds targeting EGFR, ALK, and other receptor oncogenes, as well as the promise of immunotherapy in lung cancer CNS disease.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Ongoing research into the molecular basis of lung cancer has yielded insight into various critical pathways that are deregulated in lung tumorigenesis, and in particular key driver mutations integral to cancer cell survival and proliferation.

Ganti and colleagues have provided a brief review on the diagnosis of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and the roles of chemotherapy and surgery in its management. Notably, in the past three decades, the most significant progress in the treatment of SCLC has mainly involved the use of radiotherapy. Thus, to complement their assessment, we will provide an overview of the role of radiation in the management of limited-stage and extensive-stage SCLC.
