Listen Later

Join us in this episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast as we dive into the highlights from the World Conference on Lung Cancer 2025! We are joined by Dr. Balazs Halmos, a thoracic medical oncologist at the Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center, to discuss three pivotal studies that are shaping the future of lung cancer treatment.

In this episode, we covered:

•⁠  ⁠FLAURA2 Trial: Discover the significant overall survival benefits of combining osimertinib with chemotherapy for patients with EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer, and how it compares to single-agent osimertinib.
•⁠  ⁠HARMONi Trial: Explore the intriguing yet complex findings of a new bi-specific antibody targeting PD-1 and VEGF in patients with progressive EGFR-mutated disease, and the implications of its current negative results.
•⁠  ⁠ALCHEMIST Trial: Learn about the role of crizotinib in the adjuvant setting for ALK-positive lung cancer and why it reinforces alectinib as the standard of care.

Tune in for an insightful discussion on the latest advancements in precision medicine, the importance of ctDNA, and the evolving landscape of lung cancer treatment.
