I hope that one day this will be included in our lung cancer screening strategy. People without smoking history deserves better screening!

Drugs being more of a tongue twister day by day – at Kansas City, MO
WHO assigns international nonproprietary names (INNs), aka common names or generic names, to drugs upon request from developers We all know T-DXd (DS8201a) = trastuzumab deruxtecan, SG (IMMU-132) = sacituzumab govitecan... but what about newer #ADCs? What INNs will they have?

Just published in JTO: authors.elsevier.com/c/1hcLO… STK11 and KEAP1 mutations confer less OS and PFS benefit in metastatic NSCLC, but ICI doublets might overcome the resistance. Thank you @RamSubraMD @dhruvsxu for guiding this project through!

Finished my first ITE… Such a long day, lots of thinking but more of guesses 😂. Will know how it went in the next couple of weeks, but for now the brain needs to rest
