Guests/Speakers
Lysa Buonanno, Dr. David Carbone
In this ROS1 Biomarker video you will learn the answers to these questions:
- What is the best way to determine the next best treatment for #ros1 #biomarker lung cancer after progression?
- Should you get another biopsy after progression with ROS1 Biomarker lung cancer?
ROS1 Biomarker Lung Cancer
Patients with #ROS1 #Biomarker #lungcancer tumors are often treated with a type of targeted therapy called a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, or TKI.
In this video, Lysa Buonanno, who is a lung cancer patient and advocate, goes a little deeper with questions about ROS1 biomarker lung cancer. Dr. David Carbone, of The James Cancer Center at Ohio State University, provides the answers.
Dr. Carbone outlines the possible treatment plans for a patient with a ROS1 Biomarker tumor if their disease progresses while they are taking a TKI. Dr. Carbone suggests several different options, including:
- Continuing on the TKI but adding stereotactic radiation to shrink a small number of spots that are growing
- Taking another biopsy to look at the features of the tumor that made it resistant to the TKI
Overall, ROS1 lung cancer prognosis is improving through discoveries in lung cancer research. There are more treatment options now than ever, and a lot of reasons for hope for patients with ROS1 biomarker lung cancer.
