Small Cell Lung Cancer

Personalized recommendations for patients with non–small cell lung cancer with squamous histology could benefit from research on treatment choice and biomarkers, noted Blythe Adamson, PhD, MPH, principal quantitative scientist at Flatiron Health.

Efficacy and safety of atezolizumab as first-line therapy for metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high levels of PD-L1 expression is not known, the authors said.

Study results presented during the virtual European Society for Medical Oncology meeting demonstrated the superiority of cemiplimab (Libtayo) plus ipilimumab vs cemiplimab monotherapy for non–small cell lung cancer.

Data from the EMPOWER-Lung 1 trial of cemiplimab (Libtayo) monotherapy vs chemotherapy show why the fully-human monoclonal antibody could become a new treatment option for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The KRAS mutation occurs in 13% of non–small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and leads to worse outcomes in NSCLC.
