shermandarlene+FollowLung Cancer Breakthroughs You Need to KnowMajor news for small cell lung cancer: new immunotherapy combos are giving patients real hope for the first time in years! Adding the chemo drug lignin to atezolizumab can give patients three extra months without cancer getting worse. Even more exciting, a new drug called Imdelltra is helping people live over a year—way up from the usual 6-9 months. Plus, these new treatments come with fewer nasty side effects, and more patients (even those with brain mets) can join clinical trials. The future is looking brighter! #LungCancer #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch #Health140Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowLung Cancer Drug Shrinks Tumors Fast!Big news for lung cancer treatment: Tagrisso (osimertinib) is showing way more tumor shrinkage before surgery than chemo alone for patients with EGFR mutations. In a new study, about 1 in 4 patients saw major tumor reduction with Tagrisso (either solo or with chemo), compared to just 2% with chemo alone. This could mean better outcomes and more hope for early-stage lung cancer patients. Definitely a game-changer to ask your doctor about if you or someone you know is facing this diagnosis! #LungCancer #CancerResearch #Tagrisso #Health894Share
