Breakthrough Combo Therapy Shows Promise for KRAS G12C Lung Cancer Resistance

Two preclinical studies from Moffitt Cancer Center show that combining KRAS G12C inhibitors with CDK12/13 inhibitors produces a synergistic effect, delaying resistance by targeting both RAS-driven growth and repair/mitotic dependencies. Resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors arises from reactivated RAS signaling...

STK11 mutations correlate with poor prognosis for advanced NSCLC treated with first-line immunotherapy or chemo-immunotherapy according to KRAS, TP53, KEAP1, and SMARCA4 status

The therapeutic approach to advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) relies on dichotomizing non-oncogene-addicted and oncogene-addicted diseases according to predictive biomarkers [1–3]. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent the cornerstone of treatment for non-oncogene-addicted NSCLC Research ArticleVolume 199108058January 2025Open accessDownload Full...

Pattern of brain metastases and survival in lung adenocarcinoma with KRAS or EFGR mutation

Lung Cancer is the second most common cause of cancer and remains the leading cause of cancer death.[1,2] Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 81 % of lung cancers with most patients presenting in advanced stages.[3,4,5] NSCLC, in particular lung...
