🫁 #ASCO26 #LungCancer WU-KONG28: 1L Sunvozertinib in EGFR exon20ins NSCLC Compared to carbo/pemetrexed, sunvozertinib improved: 🔹mPFS 10.3 vs 7.5 mo (HR 0.65; 95% CI, 0.50 to 0.85) 🔹12mo PFS: 46.1% vs 26.7% 🔹ORR: 58.9% vs 31.1% 🔹mDOR 11.2 vs 7.1 mo ⬆️G3 or higher AEs: 75.5% vs 56.7% Looking forward to seeing the presentation & discussion today during the metastatic NSCLC Oral Abstracts Session. Obvious concerns re: comparator arm and how would sunvozertinib perform against current SOC, chemo + amivantamab? and most importantly, when will this drug be available in the US? 🔗: nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJ… @ASCO #LCSM @OncodailyLung @OncBrothers @OncoAlert

Overall survival of first-line amivantamab plus lazertinib in atypical EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC. Updated results from the CHRYSALIS-2 study. Median OS ~3.5 years. @JoelNealMD #asco2026 #lungcancer

As I said when this study was first reported, it is a small study with many limitations. At best it is hypothesis generating, nothing more. Please don't accept it at face value.
Crucial reality check from @lungoncdoc: Association ≠ causation‼️ Headlines linking healthy diet/pesticides to young onset lung cancer wildly overstate limited observations without proper controls, confounder adjustment, or any assessment of causality. instagram.com/reel/DYATLHSvr…

Alicia is honoring her father, grandfather, and uncle by racing in the Chicago Triathlon. Alicia’s father’s passion for medical research inspired her career and to find an organization that supports lung cancer research. We are honored to have Alicia on the team and look forward to cheering her on this summer. Learn about Team LUNGevity and how an endurance race can transform lung cancer by visiting teamLUNGevity.org

I hate to be political on Twitter but really? Is anyone ok with this? I grew up in Minneapolis. This is not what Minnesotans believe. Stop this! youtu.be/4Do9E-zPCaM?si=zkfj… via @YouTube

Enough! I’ve lived in Boston most of my adult life but Minneapolis is my hometown. I’m heartbroken by this. Sending 2000 ICE agents to provoke & cause chaos is not making America great again. Stop it! Enough! npr.org/2026/01/08/nx-s1-567…

I love being an oncologist and I love advocating for this community, but I hate lung cancer. Losing incredible people like Angus, who poured SO MUCH strength and hope into this community, is the hardest part of this work. We miss you, my dear friend. Your impact lives on. 🤍

🔎 Early lung cancer screening saves lives, yet far too few eligible patients receive it. This article captures that gap and highlights the leadership of @DouglasEWood1 in pushing for improved access and awareness. seattletimes.com/opinion/ear…

As 2024 comes to a close, we would like to celebrate the advancements made in small cell lung cancer (#SCLC) that provide hope. This tremendous progress by clinical trials reflects the innumerable sacrifices made by such dedicated patients & their wonderful families. Thank you!

In this @AATSJournals article with @MDAndersonNews @lungoncdoc, we discuss clinicians’ responsibility to educate: Clear and evidence based messaging shape patient understanding, and social media is an important venue for sharing accurate information. jtcvs.org/article/S0022-5223…
