In a focused discussion, Anne Chiang, MD, PhD, explores the sequencing of later-line therapies for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC), emphasizing key factors to consider when making treatment decisions for patients who have progressed on initial therapy.
Video content above is prompted by the following questions:
After frontline therapy in limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC), how do you determine the appropriate second-line and subsequent therapy?
What patient-specific factors do you consider?
Other than clinical trial enrollment, what would you consider for second-line treatment?
Please briefly describe the SWOG umbrella protocol for ES-SCLC
Can we personalize treatment by identifying molecular subtypes that may be more responsive to certain therapies than others?
Please provide your insights on the potential for improved survival benefits with chemoimmunotherapy and consolidative thoracic radiotherapy in patients with ES-SCLC.
What additional research should be conducted to further validate the use of CIT and cTRT in this patient population?
Please briefly comment on key updates in SCLC recently presented at ASCO 2024 and discuss how these findings may impact the overall treatment landscape.
