TL;DR: The inhibition of ALK in lung tumors with the ALK rearrangement resulted in tumor shrinkage or stable disease in most patients, and the drug resulted in grade 1 or 2 gastrointestinal side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The CTC-chip successfully identified CTCs in the peripheral blood of patients with metastatic lung, prostate, pancreatic, breast and colon cancer in 115 of 116 samples, with a range of 5–1,281CTCs per ml and approximately 50% purity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotypic and Histological Evolution of Lung Cancers Acquiring Resistance to EGFR Inhibitors

TL;DR: Detailed genetic and histological analysis of 37 patients with drug-resistant non–small cell lung cancers carrying EGFR mutations provides new insights into the shifting sands of drug resistance evolution in lung cancers and suggests that serial biopsies may be essential in the quest to reverse or even prevent the development ofdrug resistance.

Phase III Study of Afatinib or Cisplatin Plus Pemetrexed in Patients With Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma With EGFR Mutations
Lecia V. Sequist,James Chih-Hsin Yang,Nobuyuki Yamamoto,Kenneth J. O'Byrne,Vera Hirsh,Tony Mok,Sarayut Lucien Geater,Sergey Orlov,Chun-Ming Tsai,Michael Boyer,Wu Chou Su,Jaafar Bennouna,Terufumi Kato,Vera Gorbunova,Ki Hyeong Lee,Riyaz Shah,Dan Massey,Victoria Zazulina,Mehdi Shahidi,Martin Schuler +19 more
TL;DR: The LUX-Lung 3 study as mentioned in this paper investigated the efficacy of chemotherapy compared with afatinib, a selective, orally bioavailable ErbB family blocker that irreversibly blocks signaling from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB1), human epIDERmal growth factors receptor 2 (HER2/ERbB2), and ErbbB4 and has wide-spectrum preclinical activity against EGFR mutations.
Phase III study of afatinib or cisplatin plus pemetrexed in patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutations

TL;DR: Afatinib is associated with prolongation of PFS when compared with standard doublet chemotherapy in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma and EGFR mutations.
