Finding a target is only the start.
Ahead of #ESMO26, 🧬🎯 ESCAT v2 grades the evidence for benefit and resistance.
What does this result change for the person sitting in front of us?

Proud to be part of @OncoAlert . With the wealth of data coming out of #ESMO26 its helpful to have some select studies to key in on. Instead of taking one persons list we put together a group list based on Delphi consensus rules.
Immunotherapy and vaccine therapies clearly stealing the show, although still room for next generation targeted therapies too!

Ten abstracts that will shape lung cancer practice, picked by our faculty 🫁
Stand-outs for me: DeLLphi-305 moving tarlatamab into 1L maintenance, and the head-to-head KRAS G12C data in Krascendo 1. Do not skip DIAL either: it asks whether we can safely stop IO at 6 months 👇 #ESMO26 #LCSM #LungCancer

1️⃣ DeLLphi-305 (LBA3): tarlatamab + durvalumab, 1L maintenance in ES-SCLC
2️⃣ Krascendo 1 (LBA5): divarasib vs sotorasib/adagrasib in KRAS G12C NSCLC
3️⃣ SAFFRON (LBA6): osimertinib + savolitinib in EGFRm MET+ NSCLC post-osimertinib
4️⃣ OptiTROP-Lung04 (LBA67): final OS, sac-TMT vs chemo after EGFR-TKI

Thank you @DrShubhamPant @GIcancerDoc for your developing such an innovative and pragmatic guide to using Daraxonrasib. I know this will increase efficacy and decrease toxicities.
Thanks to @drallysonocean @allisonoconn @MPishvaian @GIMedOnc @YJanjigianMD (@myESMO chair) and all our GI faculty
We are determined to help improve care in both community and academic centres globally. We need to focus on prevention and early intervention.
Thanks to @letswinpc @KRASKickers and everyone working so hard here
@BenSasse for his braveness in telling his story @FiercePharma @statnews @endpts
Would love people’s comments on how we can improve this further. What else would you like to see?
Thanks to our amazing faculty. Hope to thank you in person soon @GlopesMd @montypal @AlisonBirtle @StephenVLiu @neerajaiims

As @RajaFlores points out, oncology has a language problem, including how to define "early stage". cancerletter.com/perspective…
For patients & families "early stage" sounds reassuring:
✅ Caught early
✅ Treated
✅ Cured
But in #lungcancer, even stages I and II have a significant risk of recurrence. I know firsthand how devastating it is to be diagnosed with Stage Ia, believe I'm cured, experience recurrence, and learn I have advanced-stage disease.
Of course staging matters. But stage is not a prognosis, and patients aren't statistics. For patients and families, the real question is, "What does that stage mean for me, my family, my life?"
Because understanding your stage is not the same as understanding your cancer.

Why are clinical trials so expensive? In part, this 🤦🏽♂️
Whether "sodium chloride 0.9%" even needs to be a con-med is story for another day...
But to have this many back-and-forth CRO queries over "TKO" prevents data coordinators from working on anything else!
In a word, oof.
