Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

Defining comprehensive biomarker-related testing and treatment practices for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: Results of a survey of US oncologists

Kathryn F. Mileham et al.

Summary: The study found that most oncologists in the United States conducted biomarker testing in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, but the turnaround time of test results impacted treatment decisions. Community providers and generalists were more likely to initiate non-targeted treatment while waiting for results compared to academic providers.

Strategies for the successful implementation of plasma-based NSCLC genotyping in clinical practice

Charu Aggarwal et al.

Summary: Genotyping is crucial for patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC, and analyzing ctDNA from liquid biopsy samples offers the potential to extend the benefits of genotyping. Tumor genotyping guides treatment decisions for advanced-stage NSCLC patients, with ctDNA testing emerging as a key non-invasive option. Through the integration of ctDNA-based genotyping into routine clinical practice, effective genotyping may be utilized in nearly all patients with advanced-stage NSCLC.

Four-Year Survival With Durvalumab After Chemoradiotherapy in Stage III NSCLC-an Update From the PACIFIC Trial

Corinne Faivre-Finn et al.

Summary: In the Phase 3, placebo-controlled PACIFIC trial, consolidative durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy showed significant improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival for patients with unresectable, stage III NSCLC, with consistent benefits observed approximately 4 years after treatment. Durvalumab demonstrated durable benefits with a higher 4-year survival rate and progression-free survival rate compared to placebo.

Liquid Biopsy for Advanced NSCLC: A Consensus Statement From the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer

Christian Rolfo et al.

Summary: Although precision medicine has had mixed impact on clinical management of patients with advanced-stage cancer overall, the advances have been dramatic for NSCLC, specifically lung adenocarcinoma, due to genomic complexity and increasing number of druggable oncogene drivers. Liquid biopsy serves as a practical alternative source for investigating tumor-derived somatic alterations, offering a minimally invasive approach for selecting targeted therapies. The most extensively studied methodology is plasma circulating tumor DNA, which has wide adoption as an alternative to tissue tumor genotyping, particularly in solid tumors like NSCLC.

Knowledge and Practice Patterns Among Pulmonologists for Molecular Biomarker Testing in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Adam H. Fox et al.

Summary: There are significant differences among pulmonologists in the evaluation of advanced NSCLC, varying knowledge of available biomarkers and the importance of targeted therapies. Interventional training appears to drive improved knowledge and practice for biomarker testing more than practice setting, indicating the need for improvements in tissue acquisition and interdisciplinary coordination for universal and comprehensive testing for eligible patients.
