Treatment Practices for Extended-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Offering certain radiotherapy modalities based on disease burden may play a role in the outcomes of those with ES-SCLC, according to James Ninia, MD.

Practices are on the cusp of better understanding small cell lung cancer that in turn can help to advance treatment strategies for patients, says Gregory Peter Kalemkerian, MD.

Results showed of the phase 3 ADRIATIC study found that treatment with durvalumab elicited similar radiation pneumonitis incidences vs placebo for LS-SCLC.

In the final part of the small cell lung cancer podcast series, CancerNetwork® and Wade Iams, MD, discuss the future of treating patients with this disease.

BMS-986012 in combination with nivolumab/chemotherapy showed numerical PFS improvements in those with and without brain metastases at baseline.

The magnitude of benefit with durvalumab was particularly consistent within prophylactic cranial irradiation and radiation subgroups in the ADRIATIC trial.
