The ASCO Post Video Roundtable: Updates in Lung Cancer
In this video from The ASCO Post's video roundtable Updates in Lung Cancer, Drs. Justin F. Gainor, Ibiayi Dagogo-Jack, and Jyoti D. Patel discuss the management of NTRK fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Dr. Gainor presents the case of a 44-year-old man with a 5 pack-year history of tobacco exposure who was diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC; molecular testing was initially negative, but subsequent targeted next-generation sequencing revealed an NTRK1 fusion, a key oncogenic driver. The faculty discuss when and where to order additional molecular testing or next-generation sequencing in patients such as this. They review recent clinical data surrounding two agents approved by the FDA for NTRK fusion–driven lung cancer, larotrectinib and entrectinib.
