Monthly SC amivantamab plus daily lazertinib demonstrated strong efficacy and tolerability in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, providing a convenient alternative to IV dosing.

Personalized testing is preferred for patients with NSCLC with mutations, but there are challenges to implementing this testing, said Yang Xia, MD, PhD.

Central nervous system (CNS) metastases in EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain a major challenge, with emerging therapies and evolving trial designs aiming to improve outcomes and address unmet needs.

Uncommon EGFR mutations in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain challenging to treat, but new tyrosine kinase inhibitors, bispecific antibodies, and a proposed “PACCage insert” framework provide opportunities to advance precision therapy.

Treatment of EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is shifting toward next-generation sequencing and combination regimens that improve survival but increase toxicity, requiring individualized care.

Antibody-drug conjugates are rapidly reshaping the treatment landscape of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with advances in design, clinical efficacy, and regulatory approvals tempered by ongoing challenges in toxicity, resistance, and biomarker optimization.

Bispecific antibodies are emerging as a transformative class in advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with agents such as amivantamab and zenocutuzumab already demonstrating clinical benefit and a broad pipeline of investigational therapies showing promise in overcoming resistance.

National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), and the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) offer complementary yet distinct frameworks for lung cancer care, reflecting differences in evidence evaluation, regional adaptation, and policy integration.

Efren Flores, MD, of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, discussed the findings of a subanalysis of the Screen ASSIST tobacco cessation clinical trial.

Surbhi Singhal, MD, of the University of California Davis, discussed disparities in biomarker testing among patients diagnosed with stage IV nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Renal denervation modestly lowers blood pressure, with durable long-term benefits, according to Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH, MBA.

The American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) marked its 40th anniversary this year at the ASPC Congress on CVD Prevention in Boston, held August 1-3, with 3 days of debates, presentations, oral abstracts, and posters.

Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH, MBA, of Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, spoke at the recent ASPC 2025 Congress on CVD Prevention to illustrate both the benefits and risks associated with renal denervation.
