At #ASCO24, we’re sharing intracranial outcomes data from LIBRETTO-431, a phase 3 study investigating front-line use of a selective RET inhibitor in patients with RET fusion+ advanced #NSCLC. Read the results here: e.lilly/4aB9ARm #CancerResearch #LungCancer #LCSM

Very important questions regarding management of other oncogene addicted nsclc in light of this data!
Dr. @LeciaSequist with a brilliant #ASCO24 discussion of LAURA and #EGFR NSCLC. Do we apply this paradigm now to subtypes with CNS active agents that have long term safety data like #ALK and #RET? I think so!

Excellent discussion from @LeciaSequist We can’t do the same for all oncogene driven tumours. Worth considering if there is CNS penetration and low tox. Access will be issue. #LCSM #ASCO24

Our latest blog features @TejasPatilMD as he highlights the importance of teamwork in #lungcancerresearch and why his work to study #MET & #EGFR signaling pathways may help us overcome drug resistance in multiple types of lung cancer. lungevity.org/blogs/kicking-… #RET #lcsm

Every year since 2018 we have gathered 5 or more year survivors of lung cancer together at CU to show others that hope has a face. This is the May 11th 2024 gathering. Rock on!
