touchTALKS A moving target: Assessing the role of EGFR-TKIs in early-stage NSCLC

Dr Stephen Liu presents the latest data and future directions of targeted therapy within the rapidly evolving treatment landscape for patients with early-stage NSCLC.

 
Video Chapter
What do the latest data tell us about the role of targeted therapy in early-stage NSCLC?

Dr Stephen Liu discusses the current status and the challenges of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). He reviews the latest data on the use of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in the adjuvant setting and their potential impact on clinical practice.

How do recent data impact the future mutation testing guidelines in NSCLC?

Dr Liu talks us through the journey of a patient with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), from diagnosis to surgical treatment and postoperative adjuvant therapy. He then describes the existing and emerging biomarkers and molecular tests which can aid the decision of whether a patient will benefit from adjuvant therapy and which therapy should be chosen.

How do recent data in early-stage NSCLC impact the current treatment pathway for EGFR-mutant NSCLC?

Dr Stephen Liu discusses the importance of involving a multidisciplinary team (MDT) in assessing the optimal treatment and managing patient care. He talks about the challenges in integrating testing for response to targeted therapy into the patient’s clinical pathway and how the involvement of the MDT can optimize clinical decision making.
