Latest Advances in Lung Cancer Research

Dana-Farber’s EQUAL study tests blood screening for EGFR mutations in Asian and Hispanic never-smokers at high lung cancer risk.

Dr. Ramalingam emphasizes community oncologists must prioritize molecular testing and lung cancer screening to improve patient access to treatments.

Dr. Suresh S. Ramalingam urges community oncologists to use molecular testing and expand lung-cancer screening — so more patients gain access to modern, personalized therapies.

Study shows 70 Gy radiation doses for lung cancer don’t increase pneumonitis risk and may improve survival compared to lower doses.

Dr. Suresh Ramalingam, a top cancer expert at Emory University, urges community oncologists to prioritize biomarker testing and lung cancer screening to ensure every patient benefits from the latest treatment breakthroughs — because advances only matter if all patients can access them.

Research develops hypoxic gene expression signatures to predict which muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients will respond to hypoxia-modifying therapies.

A new study shows adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy before lung cancer surgery significantly improves five-year survival rates in patients.

Study of 1,143 lung cancer patients shows improved MET exon 14 mutation detection methods help select better targeted treatments.
