    Abstract For advanced metastatic non-small-lung cancer, the landscape of actionable driver alterations is rapidly growing, with nine targetable oncogenes and seven approvals within the last 5 years. This accelerated drug development has expanded the reach of targeted therapies, and it may soon be that a majority of patients with lung adenocarcinoma will be eligible for a targeted therapy during their treatment course. With these emerging therapeutic options, it is important to understand the existing data on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), along with their efficacy and safety for each oncogene-driven lung cancer, to best guide the selection and sequencing of various therapeutic options. This article reviews the clinical data on ICIs for each of the driver oncogene defined lung cancer subtypes, including efficacy, both for ICI as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or radiation; toxicities from ICI/targeted therapy in combination or in sequence; and potential strategies to enhance ICI efficacy in oncogene-driven non-small-cell lung cancers.

    Abstract Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that presents with multiple lung tumors (MLTs) poses a challenge to accurate staging and prognosis. MLTs that arise as clonally related secondary metastases from a common primary are higher stage and often require adjuvant chemotherapy or may in fact be incurable stage IV lesions. Conversely, MLTs that represent distinct primaries have a better prognosis and may be overtreated if inappropriately classified as related secondaries. Historically, pathologic and radiographic criteria were used to distinguish between primary and secondary MLTs; however, the advent of genomic profiling has demonstrated limitations to these historic classification systems. In this review, we discuss the use of molecular profiling to distinguish between primary and secondary lung cancers, with a focus on the insights gleaned from whole exome sequencing (WES) analyses. While WES is not yet feasible in routine clinical practice, WES studies have helped elucidate the clonal relationship between primary and secondary lung cancers and provide important context for the application of targeted sequencing panel-based analyses.

    Abstract <b/> Assessing the benefit of routine panel-based genomic sequencing of tumor tissue remains a critical need in clinical oncology. Jordan and coauthors report on 860 patients with metastatic or recurrent lung adenocarcinoma from a single institution with prospectively sequenced tumors using a targeted gene panel of >300 genes to guide therapy. Their results suggest that early prospective tumor sequencing, including non-standard-of-care predictive biomarkers combined with careful clinical annotation, can guide therapy, improve clinical outcomes, and accelerate the development of biomarkers and drugs.

    Abstract The identification of biomarkers plays a crucial role in personalized medicine, both in the clinical and research settings. However, the contrast between predictive and prognostic biomarkers can be challenging due to the overlap between the two. A prognostic biomarker predicts the future outcome of cancer, regardless of treatment, and a predictive biomarker predicts the effectiveness of a therapeutic intervention. Misclassifying a prognostic biomarker as predictive (or vice versa) can have serious financial and personal consequences for patients. To address this issue, various statistical and machine learning approaches have been developed. The aim of this study is to present an in-depth analysis of recent advancements, trends, challenges, and future prospects in biomarker identification. A systematic search was conducted using PubMed to identify relevant studies published between 2017 and 2023. The selected studies were analyzed to better understand the concept of biomarker identification, evaluate machine learning methods, assess the level of research activity, and highlight the application of these methods in cancer research and treatment. Furthermore, existing obstacles and concerns are discussed to identify prospective research areas. We believe that this review will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, providing insights into the methods and approaches used in biomarker discovery and identifying future research opportunities.

    Abstract Purpose: In patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and oncogenic driver mutations treated with effective targeted therapy, a characteristic pattern of tumor volume dynamics with an initial regression, nadir, and subsequent regrowth is observed on serial computed tomography (CT) scans. We developed and validated a linear model to predict the tumor volume nadir in EGFR -mutant advanced NSCLC patients treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).
    Materials and methods: Patients with EGFR -mutant advanced NSCLC treated with EGFR-TKI as their first EGFR-directed therapy were studied for CT tumor volume kinetics during therapy, using a previously validated CT tumor measurement technique. A linear regression model was built to predict tumor volume nadir in a training cohort of 34 patients, and then was validated in an independent cohort of 84 patients.
    Results: The linear model for tumor nadir prediction was obtained in the training cohort of 34 patients, which utilizes the baseline tumor volume before initiating therapy (V 0 ) to predict the volume decrease (mm 3 ) when the nadir volume (V p ) was reached: V 0 -V p =0.717×V 0 -1347 ( P =2×10 -16

    R2 =0.916). The model was tested in the validation cohort, resulting in the R2 value of 0.953, indicating that the prediction model generalizes well to another cohort of EGFR -mutant patients treated with EGFR-TKI. Clinical variables were not significant predictors of tumor volume nadir.
    Conclusion: The linear model was built to predict the tumor volume nadir in EGFR -mutant advanced NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs, which provide an important metrics in treatment monitoring and therapeutic decisions at nadir such as additional local abrasive therapy.
