Controlling tobacco use is vital to managing the threat it poses to public health, but doing so requires a multi pronged approach.
Although smoking is clearly a major risk factor, pathogenic viruses acquired from consumption of red meat may be a synergistic causative factor.
Cabozantinib demonstrated safety and efficacy for treating patients with RET-rearranged lung cancer in an open-label, phase 2 trial.
A randomized phase 2 study found that 30 Grays (Gy) in 1 fraction is equivalent to 60 Gy in 3 fractions in terms of toxicity and survival.
Allowing patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to cross over demonstrated a progression-free survival (PFS) benefit.
Double mutations do not significantly decrease overall survival (OS), but do alter progression-free survival (PFS) under first line treatment.
Brigatinib has shown substantial clinical activity among patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have brain metastases.
A high percentage of patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) are elderly, but there is a lack of data concerning the efficacy and safety.
Institutional-level differences in the quality of care of patients with NSCLC are associated with differences in stage-stratified and overall survival (OS).
