    Abstract The identification of actionable biomarkers and development of targeted therapies have revolutionized the field of lung cancer treatment. In patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), biomarker testing can inform selection of effective targeted therapies as well as avoid therapies that are less likely to be effective in certain populations. A growing number of actionable targets, including those involving EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, MET, KRAS, NTRK, RET, HER2, and PD-L1, can be identified with biomarker testing. More than half of patients with advanced NSCLC have tumors that harbor genetic alterations that can be targeted. When these patients are treated with targeted therapy, survival and quality of life may be significantly improved. In addition, broad-based molecular testing may detect alterations identifying patients who are potentially eligible for current or future clinical trials. Comprehensive biomarker testing rates in communities are often low, and turnaround times for results can be unacceptably long. There is an unmet need for widespread, efficient, and routine testing of all biomarkers recommended by clinical guidelines. New testing techniques and technologies can make this an attainable goal. Panel-based sequencing platforms are becoming more accessible, and molecular biomarker analysis of circulating tumor DNA is becoming more common. In this podcast, we discuss the importance of biomarker testing in advanced NSCLC and explore topics such as testing methodologies, effect of biomarker testing on patient outcomes, emerging technologies, and strategies for improving testing rates in the United States.

    Abstract Non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer all present with high morbidity and mortality. Systemic chemotherapies have historically been the cornerstone of standard of care (SOC) regimens for many cancers, but are associated with systemic toxicity. Multimodal treatment combinations can help improve patient outcomes; however, implementation is limited by additive toxicities and potential drug-drug interactions. As such, there is a high unmet need to develop additional therapies to enhance the efficacy of SOC treatments without increasing toxicity. Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that exert physical forces to disrupt cellular processes critical for cancer cell viability and tumor progression. The therapy is locoregional and is delivered noninvasively to the tumor site via a portable medical device that consists of field generator and arrays that are placed on the patient's skin. As a noninvasive treatment modality, TTFields therapy-related adverse events mainly consist of localized skin reactions, which are manageable with effective acute and prophylactic treatments. TTFields selectively target cancer cells through a multi-mechanistic approach without affecting healthy cells and tissues. Therefore, the application of TTFields therapy concomitant with other cancer treatments may lead to enhanced efficacy, with low risk of further systemic toxicity. In this review, we explore TTFields therapy concomitant with taxanes in both preclinical and clinical settings. The summarized data suggest that TTFields therapy concomitant with taxanes may be beneficial in the treatment of certain cancers.

    Abstract Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are the current recommended option for the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Resistance to first-generation TKIs led to the development of second- and third-generation TKIs with improved clinical outcomes. However, sequential administration of TKIs has led to the emergence of new EGFR resistance mutations and persistent tumor cell survival. This evidence highlights the potential role of EGFR in transducing growth signals in NSCLC tumor cells. Therefore, dual inhibition of EGFR using combinations of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and EGFR-TKIs may offer a unique treatment strategy to suppress tumor cell growth. Several clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of dual blockade of EGFR using anti-EGFR mAbs coupled with EGFR-TKIs in overcoming treatment resistance in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. However, a single treatment option may not result in the same clinical benefits in all patients with acquired resistance. Biomarkers, including EGFR overexpression, EGFR gene copy number, EGFR and KRAS mutations, and circulating tumor DNA, have been associated with improved clinical efficacy with anti-EGFR mAbs in patients with NSCLC and acquired resistance. Further investigation of biomarkers may allow patient selection for those who could benefit from anti-EGFR mAbs in combination with EGFR-TKIs. This review summarizes findings of recent studies of anti-EGFR mAbs in combination with EGFR-TKIs for the treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, as well as clinical evidence for potential biomarkers towards personalized targeted medicine.
