This review encompasses nine recent studies in oncology, highlighting the application of innovative therapies and drug combinations in the treatment of lung cancer.

The phase 3 EXTENTORCH trial has demonstrated the potential of toripalimab plus chemotherapy as a new standard first-line therapy for ES-SCLC, with a median progression-free survival of 5.8 months.

This phase 2 trial demonstrated that tarlatamab showed antitumor activity with durable objective responses and promising survival outcomes in patients with previously treated small-cell lung cancer. With a manageable safety profile and no new safety signals identified, tarlatamab could represent a significant advancement in the treatment landscape for these patients.

Explore how high-dose hyperfractionated thoracic radiotherapy is setting new standards in LS-SCLC treatment.

New research indicates that PCI offers significant survival advantages over TRT in treating extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, challenging existing treatment protocols.

Explore the complexities of treating small cell lung cancer (SCLC) after platinum-based therapy failure, including insights into immune checkpoint inhibitors, the preference for lurbinectedin, and the potential of liquid biopsies.
