EMCTO 2011: State of play in thoracic oncology

Prof Rolf Stahel, University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland and President of ETOP (the European Thoracic Oncology Platform), talks about the way the thoracic oncology has benefited from a multidiscipline approach and the movement towards personalised treatment. Prof Stahel also discusses Lungscape, an ETOP databank collating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) research from Europe's leading thoracic oncology research groups. This platform offers a decentralised virtual NSCLC biobank to help...

AACR 2011: Combination therapy targeting MEK and PI3K pathways shows anti-tumour activity

Dr Johanna Bendell - Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Nashville, USA. The combination of two compounds that inhibit two of the most frequently mutated cancer pathways is showing promise in an ongoing Phase I trial. The research, presented by Dr Johanna Bendell, tests a combination of GDC-0973, which inhibits MEK1/2 and GDC-0941, which inhibits PI3K. The patients received a combination of different doses of GDC-0973 and GDC-0941; these drug combinations were well tolerated and only produced with...

ASCO 2009: Lung cancer patients lacking MSH2 DNA repair protein fare better with chemo

Pierre Fouret, MD, PhD, Institut Gustave Roussy, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France: Speaking at ASCO 2009: Lung Cancer Patients Lacking MSH2 DNA Repair Protein Fare Better with Chemotherapy: An analysis from the International Adjuvant Lung Trial (IALT) reports that tumor levels of the MSH2 protein predict long-term response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy among patients with surgically removed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MSH2 is a protein that cancer cells use to repair...

Dr. Belani Discusses NSCLC Adjuvant Therapy

Chandra P. Belani, MD, Deputy Director, Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, Miriam Beckner Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Penn State Hershey Medical Center & College of Medicine, discusses recent changes to adjuvant therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Adjuvant therapy is the current standard of care for patients with resectable NSCLC. Various trials have suggested that the absolute improvement in overall survival from adjuvant treatment is 4.1-15%. Most practitioners assume...
