🫁 New AATS Expert Consensus Document on N2+ NSCLC
It was a pleasure and great learning to contribute to the 2026 @AATSHQ Expert Consensus Document on the evaluation and management of N2+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) under the leadership of Philip Linden and Thomas D'Amico.
The management of N2-positive NSCLC remains one of the most complex areas in thoracic oncology!
This new consensus document provides updated recommendations on staging, patient selection and treatment strategies, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary decision-making and close collaboration across specialties. 🤝🫁
Many thanks to the @AATSHQ and all colleagues involved in this collaborative effort.

🔥CheckMate 77T: Biomarkers of nivolumab benefit in resectable NSCLC
🆙 @Nature
🎯ctDNA clearance before surgery: 66% (nivo) vs 38% (placebo); 50% of clearance pts achieved pCR with nivo
🎯KEAP1/STK11/CDKN2A/SMARCA4 alterations: EFS prolonged with nivo (HR 0.48) despite historically poor prognosis

Nature publication today from Dr. Tina Cascone et al with tremendous detail on biomarkers from CheckMate 77T predicting benefit from perioperative nivolumab in patients with resectable NSCLC. Amazing amount of detailed data in this @Nature paper.

#LungCancer can develop genetic changes during treatment. ctDNA may help us detect some of those changes through a blood test.
A new JAMA review looks at liquid biopsy for treatment selection, response, resistance and recurrence.

‼️ A tumour isn’t necessarily the same all the way through.
Different populations of cancer cells can exist within it and evolve over time, including under the pressure of treatment.
A new Nature Cancer review looks at how understanding and tracking that evolution could lead to better ways to diagnose, monitor and treat cancer.
#LungCancer research has been central to building that understanding. #LCSM
