Clinical spectrum & outcome of KRAS-Mt aNSCLC. In RWD no influence of KRAS subtype (G12C vs non-G12C) on OS. At PD, mPFS 5.2 mo for docetaxel-treated and 7.6mo for oral KRASi-treated in KRAS G12C pts #elcc2025 #leuvenlungcancergroup

AIBED: Evaluation of biomarker testing and treatment paterns in Belgian lung cancer patients by means of AI and Natural Language Processing. Challenges of this method for data extraction and analysis still remain!

[Roberto Ferrara @RobertoFerrara_]

Radiomics to predict ILD in pacific study. Reticulation volume and total lung volume two promising features. Very elegant presentation from @DrJNaidoo #ESMO24 . Very high negative predictive value, perhaps room for improvement for positive predictive value (false positive rate).

A superb poster by @martheverhaert at #ESMO24 to present the results of the amazing work they are doing with the BITOX, the Belgian ImmunoTOXicity board of @mybsmo, thanks for being there to guide us in the treatment of rare and tricky toxicities 🤔🤓

Our poster 140P is up at #ESMO2024

Sampling site matters 🫁 Immunological changes in tumor-draining lymph nodes upon invasion are predictive of durable ICB response in NSCLC. Key rol for DCs 🔑

We did it 🎉

Our team VZN-KUL REspiratory Oncology team reached the finish line! Happy and proud to continue our contribution to highly needed cancer research 💪

Come see what our PhD student is up to @myESMO in Hall 8 #forx

[Els Wauters @ewauters]

BAM! He did it 🙌 Smooth defense, proudest promoter! Thank you @PierreVM0 for this enriching adventure. Also thanks to @LambrechtsDlab @ElenaDonders and the jury Andreas Pircher @sandrineaspesla @DrJNaidoo @AbhishekDGarg Thierry Voet

> CXCL10/CXCL8 in BALF as potential diagnostic tool

Collaboration with @hopkinskimmel @DrJNaidoo and @suresh_lab

[Christophe Deroose @deroose_c]

So grateful and proud to see my PhD student Elin Pauwels receive the Marie Curie award at #EANM22. Best scientific abstract out of >1500 accepted ones. Thx to entire study team. Great motivation to get Al18F-Oc reimbursed for SSTR PET. @officialEANM, @UZLeuven, @komop_tgkanker

Impressive data from the DESTINY-Lung01 trial for pts with #HER2 mutant #NSCLC, most of them with multiple lines of tx, showing:
⚪ ORR 52%, DCR 92%
⚪ mPFS 8.2m
⚪ mOS 17.8 m 🚨
But 26% of any grade #pneumonitis and 2 toxic deaths❗
