The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) provide recommended management patients with SCLC, including diagnosis, primary treatment, surveillance relapse, and subsequent treatment. This selection the journal focuses on metastatic (known as extensive-stage) which is more common than limited-stage SCLC. Systemic therapy alone can palliate symptoms prolong survival most extensive-stage disease. Smoking cessation counseling intervention...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is able to drive metastasis during progression of multiple cancer types, including non-small cell lung (NSCLC). As resistance immunotherapy has been associated with EMT and immune exclusion in melanoma, it important understand alterations T-cell infiltration the tumor microenvironment adenocarcinoma squamous carcinoma. We conducted an integrated analysis landscape NSCLCs through scores derived from a previously established 16 gene signature canonical...

Importance Tissue-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) of solid tumors is the criterion standard for identifying somatic mutations that can be treated with National Comprehensive Cancer Network guideline–recommended targeted therapies. Sequencing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) also identify tumor-derived mutations, and there increasing clinical evidence supporting ctDNA testing as a diagnostic tool. The value concurrent tissue profiling has not been formally assessed in large, multicancer...

Abstract Activating NRAS mutations are found in 15% to 20% of melanomas. Immune therapies have become a mainstay advanced melanoma treatment. We sought evaluate whether tumor genotype (e.g., mutations) correlates with benefit from immune therapy melanoma. identified 229 patients treated [IL2, ipilimumab, or anti-programmed cell death-1/ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1)] at three centers and compared clinical outcomes following for without mutations. Of the melanoma, 60 had mutation, 53 BRAF 116...

Abstract Background: Mutations in KRAS are among the most frequent oncogenic drivers with G12C mutation found up to ~13% of NSCLC. LY3537982 is an oral, highly selective, and potent inhibitor G12C, which preclinically delivers >90% sustained target occupancy. We present initial results from LOXO-RAS-20001, a phase 1 study patients (pts) G12C-mutant advanced solid tumors (NCT04956640). Methods: monotherapy dose escalation followed mTPI-2 method. Dose expansion cohorts included...

Importance Numerous studies show that early palliative care improves quality of life and other key outcomes in patients with advanced cancer their caregivers, although most lack access to this evidence-based model care. Objective To evaluate whether delivering via secure video vs in-person visits has an equivalent effect on non–small cell lung (NSCLC). Design, Setting, Participants Randomized, multisite, comparative effectiveness trial from June 14, 2018, May 4, 2023, at 22 US centers among...

Abstract Purpose: Seizure-related homolog protein 6 (SEZ6) is a novel target expressed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). ABBV-011, SEZ6-targeted antibody conjugated to calicheamicin, was evaluated phase I study (NCT03639194) patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC. We report initial outcomes of ABBV-011 monotherapy. Patients and Methods: administered intravenously once every 3 weeks during dose escalation (0.3–2 mg/kg) expansion. SEZ6-positive tumors (≥25% tumor cells ≥1+ staining intensity...
