Ahmet Dirican: Translating Neoadjuvant NSCLC Trials Into Daily Practice

Ahmet Dirican, Professor of Medical Oncology at Medicana International İzmir Hospital, shared a post on X:

“Neoadjuvant therapy is now standard in NSCLC – but can every patient complete the journey in the real world?

Clinical trials are promising. Real-world success, however, depends on:

  • Careful patient selection.
  • Rigorous performance status assessment.
  • Early surgical planning.
  • Strong multidisciplinary tumor board coordination.

In neoadjuvant strategies, the goal is not only response – it is safely delivering the patient to surgery. Timing matters. Logistics matter. Biology matters.”
