In a new JAMA Oncology study, Biagio Ricciuti, MD, PhD Dana-Farber found chemoimmunotherapy before surgery may offer a path forward for patients with advanced stage III non-small cell lung cancer. Read more: bit.ly/445t1li



Listen to this week's episode of the VJOncology Podcasts featuring João Alessi, MD and Alessandro Di Federico who discussed #LungCancer updates from #ASCO25 🎧Listen here tinyurl.com/yf7f3az7 They explore the potential of new agents like tarlatamab, and dive into pivotal trials in

Pleased to discuss some of the ASCO 2025 lung cancer highlights with my dear friend and colleague João Alessi, MD in this VJ Oncology podcast 👇

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare NSCLC histology that every thoracic oncologist has or will face in their practice. In this study led by Dr. Lingzhi Hong & Natalie Vokes MD Anderson Cancer Center, we characterized features & outcomes of patients w/ these tumors jto.org/article/S1556-…

New in JTO & JTO CRR - reinforces findings from this recent paper on pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas [👉🏽 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… ] with some interesting nuances ➡️ Chemo doesn’t add to benefit of ICI, esp for pleomorphic subtype. ➡️ Small numbers, but no difference between taxol

An important question in #BRAF+ #NSCLC — targeted therapy or #ICI first? Factors like PD-L1, smoking history, and CNS involvement may guide us. More to come from our global effort led by Alessandro Di Federico. OncoAlert Dana-Farber Fawzi Abu Rous, MD Marcelo Negrao Marina Garassino IASLC

On Tuesday, August 5, from 8 to 9 PM ET, Biagio Ricciuti, MD, PhD and I will be discussing what we currently know about the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC harboring mutations in STK11 and/or KEAP1 #TumorBoardTuesday

Singhi, MD H. Jack West, MD, FASCO 3/20 | #TumorBoardTuesday All 3 approaches are valid in PD-L1 ≥1% NSCLC. E.g., at 5 years: ✅ Pembrolizumab mono (KN042): OS 16.4 mo | HR 0.79 ✅ Pembrolizumab + chemo (KN189): OS 24.7 mo | HR 0.66 ✅ Nivo + Ipi + chemo (CM9LA): OS 15.8 mo | HR 0.73 But context matters...

Singhi, MD H. Jack West, MD, FASCO 4/20 | #TumorBoardTuesday While KEYNOTE-042 showed OS benefit for pembro monotherapy in PD-L1 ≥1%, this was driven by the ≥50% subgroup. In patients with PD-L1 1–49%, there was no OS advantage over chemo—underscoring the limited efficacy of pembro monotherapy in this group
