Targeted therapy pralsetinib safely effectively treats lung and thyroid cancers with RET alterations
Results from the multi-cohort Phase I/II ARROW clinical trial, conducted by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center researchers, showed that a once-daily dose of pralsetinib, a highly selective RET inhibitor, was safe and effective in treating patients with advanced RET fusion-positive non-small

Newly approved drug effective against lung cancer caused by genetic mutation
The new drug sotorasib reduces tumor size and shows promise in improving survival among patients with lung tumors caused by a specific DNA mutation, according to results of a global phase 2 clinical trial. The drug is designed to shut down the effects of the mutation, which is found in about 13% of patients

during the op or not but find wearing a mask very uncomfortable because of this. Best Wishes, James.

Two new drug approvals (for patients with EGFR Exon 20 insertion and patients with KRAS G12C mutation)
Hi everyone, I know Denzie posted about at least one of the new drug approvals fbut I figured it can't hurt to post about the new approvals again so people are aware of them. With both approvals, I wanted to share why it's important to know what your biomarker test results. Sometimes healthcare professionals

Research suggests BMI may not be best obesity indicator to assess risk for lung cancer.
New research published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology (JTO) suggests the method used to calculate how obesity is measured may affect whether it is considered a risk factor for lung cancer. The JTO is an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. Although the

Lung cancer volunteer activities for kids
My husband appreciated this site. Reading everyone’s experiences gave him hope and knowledge, and he was thankful to members on this site who replied to his questions/concerns during his one year battle with Stage IV NSCLC. After losing their dad to NSCLC about 3 weeks ago, my kids (ages 10, 13 and 15

CT Promising for Sublobar Resection in Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
CT features may help identify which patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer are optimal candidates for sublobar resection, rather than more extensive surgery. This retrospective study included 904 patients (453 men, 451 women; mean age, 62 years) who underwent lobectomy (n=574) or sublobar

Do you want to have a friendly chat with a researcher about your experiences?
[We're still recruiting to this study in case there are any new members or people who still wanted to take part] Were you diagnosed with lung cancer within the last 12 months? Have your say about your experiences in the PEARL study - a research programme led by UCL and funded by Cancer Research UK.
