NCCN Guidelines® for ROS1 fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have evolved in important ways, and for patients, these changes can have a real impact on outcomes and quality of life. We asked Georgetown University’s Dr. Stephen Liu to explain what these updates mean for your care and the topics you should be bringing to […]

ALK-positive (ALK+) lung cancer is a type of lung cancer driven by a genetic change called an ALK fusion. Georgetown University’s Dr. Stephen Liu explains, “ALK+ refers to a cancer that has an ALK fusion or a chromosomal rearrangement within the ALK gene.” This change acts like an “on switch,” fueling cancer growth. ALK fusions […]

With some new changes to the NCCN Guidelines® for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that affect patients with a ROS1 fusion or an ALK mutation, you may be wondering if these updates affect you. We asked Georgetown University’s Dr. Stephen V. Liu to break down the latest guidance for these subgroups. https://vimeo.com/1105210909/098bfadf14?ts=0&share=copy Transcript The transcript […]

Is it possible for your non-small cell lung cancer to be ALK-positive and have a ROS1 fusion? Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Dr. Stephen V. Liu explains how this could happen with on-target resistance and the potential treatment paths your care team may recommend in this scenario in this Precision Minute recap. https://vimeo.com/1096912989/15b430dbe4?share=copy Transcript […]

Testing for ROS1 fusions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is essential for identifying patients who may benefit from highly effective targeted therapies. We asked thoracic oncologist Dr. Stephen V. Liu to explain ROS1 fusions, how ROS1 inhibitors work, and what you can expect if you’re on these newer treatments in this “Precision Minute” recap. […]

What does it mean to have ALK-positive lung cancer, and why does it matter for your treatment? Georgetown University’s Dr. Stephen V. Liu offers the latest advances in ALK inhibitors and how these drugs are transforming care for many non-small cell lung cancer patients. Learn how these therapies work, how long they remain effective, and […]

The role of biomarker testing in personalized lung cancer treatment Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a complex diagnosis with many different subsets that can be difficult to navigate. In our webinar with Mass General Cancer Center’s Dr. Jessica Lin, we break down some of the mutations that occur in NSCLC and how biomarker testing […]

Biomarker testing is a critical component for identifying genetic mutations and resistance mechanisms for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We had the honor of hosting Mass General Cancer Center’s Dr. Jessica Lin for a webinar on how advancements in biomarker testing are transforming the landscape of lung cancer care and treatments. You can […]

We recently hosted Dr. Martin F. Dietrich, a medical oncologist at the Cancer Care Centers of Brevard and an assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Central Florida, for a recent Outcomes4Me “Ask the Expert” webinar. You can watch Dr. Dietrich’s full webinar, below. Watch the full replay here  We’ve transcribed some of […]

Understanding ALK Mutations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ALK gene mutations can drive the growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) is a protein involved with sending signals to normal cells and is believed to be involved with the development of the nervous system. Unfortunately, the ALK gene can develop mutations […]
