Proud to share our latest publication in JCO Precision Oncology @JCOPO_ASCO @JCO_ASCO @RamSubraMD @BPonvilawan

In the largest study to date evaluating transcriptomic immune biomarkers in advanced NSCLC treated with immunotherapy, we found that:
• Immune-hot tumor microenvironments and high tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) signatures were strongly associated with improved immunotherapy outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma
• These biomarkers outperformed traditional markers like PD-L1 in predicting benefit
• Dynamic immune trafficking and activation may be key drivers of response to checkpoint inhibitors

Excited about the potential for RNA-based immune profiling to refine precision immunotherapy in lung cancer.

🎤 Excited to present at the #NCCN2025 Conference! @NCCN
📊 Racial Disparities in NSCLC Survival Outcomes: A Systematic Review & Meta-Analysis
✅ Asian/API patients had significantly better OS vs. White patients
❌ No significant differences in OS for Black or Hispanic patients
🔍 Our findings highlight genomic drivers & evolving treatment access. Let’s advance equity in lung cancer care.

Our paper recently published in @JAMANetworkOpen Doublet IO might be more beneficial in patients with pd-l1 negative squamous cell lung cancer
