Biagio Ricciuti: Great conversation on the role of ICI in patients with NSCLC and driver mutations
Biagio Ricciuti shared a post by Narjust Florez on X, adding: ,
“I had a great conversation with the amazing Narjust Florez and Erin Schenk on the role of ICI in patients with NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer) and driver mutations.
The potential of immune therapies has yet to be realized for most of oncogene-positive lung cancers. We need to explore options beyond checkpoint inhibitors.”
Quoting Narjust Florez’s post:
“I hope you are ready for this discussion with Drs. Erin Schenk and Biagio Ricciuti.
I learned so much only in the first 5 minutes of this conversation about the use of IO in patients with NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer) and driver mutations.
Including:
-Toxicity
-Importance of NGS
-Prognostic and predictive markers
-The impact of tumor microenvironment
Lung Cancer is Considered the official IASLC (The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) podcast.”
