Dr Thomas Stinchcombe, from Duke Cancer Center in Durham, North Carolina, highlights key abstracts in locally advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presented at the 2021 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
First, he reviews the IMpower010 trial, which compares atezolizumab vs best supportive care in patients with surgically resected NSCLC who had received adjuvant chemotherapy.
He then discusses surgical outcomes from the CheckMate 816 trial in patients with resectable NSCLC who had been treated with nivolumab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone.
Finally, Dr Stinchcombe discusses the IMPACT trial, which looked at adjuvant gefitinib vs cisplatin/vinorelbine in completely resected NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations.
