It's personal because we live it, we experience loss from it, we fear it, we question it, we hate it...but most of all - we JUST want to LIVE despite it! #younglungcancer @florez_Lab@ EGFR Resisters @alkpositiveinc Narjust Florez, MD, FASCO Oncogene Cancer Research RETpositive
New #clinicaltrial will examine a novel oncolytic virus called MEM-288 in combination w the immunotherapy agent, Opdivo (nivolumab), in #lungcancer Moffitt Cancer Center. Aim to determine ORR of MEM-288 + Opdivo
Those w EGFR or ALK must have been treated w a TKI.

Stephen V Liu, MD Marina Garassino Real world compliance with full dose adjuvant therapies is much lower than in trials
🇬🇧 adjuvant Osimertinib RWE study found dose reduction rate double that of ADAURA
Suspect we might see similar with adjuvant Alectinib?
Insightful discussion from top thoracic oncologists on #EGFR + #LungCancer treatments. Trials like FLAURA2 & MARIPOSA reveal promising options, but also highlight how complex treatment decisions can be in the face of data gaps. Eric K. Singhi, MD Sandip Patel MD Maya K. Khalil, MD
Thank you Oncogene Cancer Research for inviting me to talk about one of The Christie NHS #ePROMs work presented at BTOG
✅Fill the gap in patient monitoring during/after RT using ePROMs
✅Adapt our care to the patient needs
❌One-size-fits-all follow-up model
Next, present similar…
How can we improve the patient experience around #radiotherapy ?
Dr Thitikorn Nuamek (Thitikorn Nuamek (Pao)), Clinical Research Fellow The Christie Charity, shared research @BTOG using online patient questionnaires which highlighted gaps to do just this. Have a listen to his recap.
