Jarushka Naidoo, MHS, MBBCh, of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, University of Medicine and Health Sciences, discusses some of the key lung cancer data presented at the ESMO Congress 2023: CheckMate 77T, a phase III study of nivolumab, chemotherapy, and surgery for previously untreated resectable stage II–IIIB NSCLC; the ALINA study of alectinib vs chemotherapy in patients with early-stage ALK-positive NSCLC; and overall survival data from KEYNOTE-671, which established the role of chemoimmunotherapy and pembrolizumab. Dr. Naidoo also reviews data in small cell lung and thymic cancers.
