The role of gut microbiota as a potential biomarker for first-line treatment selection in NSCLC has remained unclear. This biomarker study from the Phase III NIPPON trial by Hakozaki et al. provides new insights into this topic.

A study by @JackRaph et al. shows early mortality is common among patients with cancer treated with immunotherapy.

The study suggests the need for a predictive tool to improve patient selection for ICI treatment in routine clinical practice.

Important study. 1/5 pts over age 65 receiving std adj chemo received low relative dose intensity and had INFERIOR outcome. Reducing dose is not the first solution, choice of regimen, growth factors and supportive care are critical. @OncoAlert

Review of pathologic complete response (pCR) shows that evidence currently available does not support pCR used alone as a reliable surrogate endpoint in neoadjuvant randomized controlled trials for breast cancer. https://t.co/1tUsIC7tRD #BCSM

Analysis of overall survival data from the IMpower010 trial shows overall survival trend in favor of atezolizumab in the PD-L1 TC > 1% stage II-IIIA population but not in the all randomized stage II-IIIA or intent-to-treat population per research presented today at #WCLC22. #LCSM

[IASLC @IASLC]

In the initial NADIM trial, neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy was shown to be highly effective in patients with resectable stage IIIA #NSCLC. Today at #WCLC22, the researchers from the NADIM trial presented new data that supports the conclusions of the initial NADIM trial. #LCSM
