Implementation guide designed to increase levels of lung cancer screening for heavy smokers
Immunotherapy Side Effects May Be More Common Than Thought
Higher rates of adverse events observed for immune checkpoint inhibitors in real-world settings
More Frequent Surveillance No Benefit After NSCLC Resection
More frequent postsurgical surveillance is not associated with improved survival
Models Project 79 Percent Drop in Lung CA Mortality by 2065
Annual number of deaths expected to continue to decrease despite growth, aging of U.S. population
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors May Up Lung CA Risk
Higher risk seen with ACEIs versus angiotensin receptor blockers; risk linked to duration of use
Durvalumab Extends Survival in Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung CA
Both overall and progression-free survival longer with durvalumab than with placebo
Thermal Ablation Acceptable for Early Lung Cancer
Regarding overall survival, thermal ablation non-inferior to radiation for primary treatment
Plasma-Based Genotyping Aids Targeted Tx of Metastatic NSCLC
Most patients who received targeted therapy based on plasma result achieved clinical response
In NSCLC, Longer Survival With Brigatinib Than Crizotinib
