Updates in Oncogene-Driven NSCLC from Paris
Release date: 21-09-2022
Expiration date: 20-09-2023
Duration: 0.5 hours
The use of genomic profiling in tissue and liquid biopsy is expanding and provides a foundation for advancing precision medicine in lung cancer. New data are accumulating rapidly regarding the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy that has recently entered clinical practice, and the emerging strategies to target resistance mechanisms. In this Updates in Oncogene-Driven NSCLC, experts in the field discuss some of the new data on genomic profiling and targeted therapy in oncogene-driven NSCLC presented at the 2022 ESMO congress in Paris. Additionally, they will evaluate the potential impact of these findings on clinical practice and ongoing research.
This program is available with subtitles in the following languages:
