    Acquired Resistance to KRASG12C Inhibition in Cancer | NEJM
    Clinical trials of the KRAS inhibitors adagrasib and sotorasib have shown promising activity in cancers harboring KRAS glycine-to-cysteine amino acid substitutions at codon 12 (KRASG12C). The mecha...

    Does high tumor mutational burden (#TMB) impact immunotherapy outcomes in #NSCLC? This has been a challenging biomarker to interpret and incorporate into clinical practice. We looked at >1500 patients w/NSCLC treated with PD-(L)1 inhibitors: ja.ma/3Qrvf5y in @JAMAOnc.

    In lung cancer, we know the importance of detecting and targeting MET exon 14 skipping mutations, MET amplification, and MET fusions. Here, we describe another important molecular target: activating MET tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations. #LCSM

    Why do some lung cancers have high PD-L1 expression and others are PD-L1 negative? Very talented @lfspurr and @GLambertiMD describe clinical & genomic correlates of PD-L1 expression in NSCLC at #AACR2020 talk today and published in @Annals_Oncology #LCSM sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
