Lung cancer screening tied to reduced mortality
In an observational study conducted in Poland, individuals who participated in a low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening programme had a reduction in all-cause mortality compared with a matched control group extracted from a general Polish cohort.

ALK+ NSCLC: Real-world patterns and outcomes of treatment after 1L brigatinib
Following first-line (1L) brigatinib treatment, most patients with ALK-positive (ALK+) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received an ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) as second-line (2L) therapy and experienced prolonged clinical benefit, a retrospective chart review of patients enrolled in the phase III ALTA-1L trial has shown.

Neoadjuvant cycles do not alter perioperative nivolumab benefit in resectable NSCLC
Treatment with nivolumab plus chemotherapy before surgery followed by nivolumab after surgery yields superior outcomes for patients with resectable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as compared with placebo plus chemotherapy, regardless of the number of completed neoadjuvant cycles, according to an exploratory analysis of the CHECKMATE 77T trial.

Amivantamab plus chemo tied to better outcomes in NSCLC
Treatment with amivantamab (ami) in combination with chemotherapy (chemo) results in substantially longer time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), time to subsequent therapy (TTST), and progression-free survival (PFS) after first subsequent therapy (PFS2) in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following progression on osimertinib, as shown in a postprogression analysis.
