Rami Manochakian, MD, FASCO, on Updates on SCLC: No Longer Too Small to Ignore
ASCO 2026
Rami Manochakian, MD, FASCO, of Mayo Clinic Florida, summarizes an educational session at ASCO that reviewed the state of the field of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment. After decades of limited treatment progress, advances are being seen in immunotherapies, radiation therapy, bispecific T-cell engagers, antibody-drug conjugates, and radionuclide therapies.

John V. Heymach, MD, PhD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses results from the primary analysis of the multinational phase III WU-KONG28 trial, which looked at sunvozertinib monotherapy vs platinum-based therapy as first-line treatment for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR exon 20 insertions (Abstract LBA8500).

Danny Rischin, MD, of Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, talks about data from the disease-free survival analyses of the C-POST study, which were conducted per high-risk criteria and start time after radiotherapy. C-POST evaluated adjuvant cemiplimab-rwlc for patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) (Abstract 6083).
