Visiting Professors: Lung Cancer Edition — Part 1: Our discussion with Drs Levy and Lobins highlights the following topics as well as cases from Dr Lobins’s practice:
- Case: A man in his early 60s, a current smoker, with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of 80% experiences a dramatic response to first-line pembrolizumab but a recurrence of small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) during therapy (00:00)
- Activity and tolerability of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or with chemotherapy as first-line therapy in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (02:30)
- Duration of therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (05:28)
- Perspectives on the effects of recent advances in the management of lung cancer on the practice of oncology (09:16)
