Raffaele Califano, ESMO 2019 –  FLAURA study in NSCLC

Intraoperative molecular imaging enables surgeons to utilise a cancer specific fluorescent dye to improve cancer removal. In this touchONCOLOGY interview, we speak with Dr Sunil Singhal (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA) to discuss intraoperative molecular imaging, with focus on its application in lung cancer. The presentation entitled ‘Intraoperative molecular imaging of lung cancer: The […]

First-line immunotherapy is a standard treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Prof. Gerard Zalcman (Bichat Hospital, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris; Institute of Cancer AP-HP Nord, Paris, France) joins touchONCOLOGY to discuss the IFCT-1701 phase III trial, investigating nivolumab plus ipilimumab, aiming to assess if 6-months nivolumab/ipilimumab duration was equivalent to continuation until progression […]

The mechanistic basis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) initiation in never smokers is unknown. The air pollutant, particulate matter, is known to be associated with the risk of NSCLC, however a direct cause and mechanism remains difficult to achieve. Prof. Charles Swanton (Francis Crick Institute, London, UK) joins touchONCOLOGY to discuss his study into […]
