MARIPOSA shows a 25% OS benefit for amivantamab lazertinib vs osimertinib in newly diagnosed EGFR advanced #lungcancer. A big moment—but not a simple one. Side effects, IV treatment & QoL all matter. And right now, this option isn’t available for those in our UK EGFR community. Full results Weds at #ELCC25 #LCSM prnewswire.com/news-releases…

The review's deep dive into ALK's oncogenic role and emerging resistance to inhibitors is a call to action for innovative cancer therapies. As a cardiologist, I champion the need for sustained research investment, crucial for advancing patient care amidst the UK's challenging funding landscape.

Ultra-deep sequencing of high-risk neuroblastomas found oncogenic aberrations are more prevalent at diagnosis than once thought. ALK and RAS pathway aberrations confer inferior outcomes, emphasizing the need for novel therapeutic approaches. ascopost.com/news/march-2025…

Clonal and Subclonal Pathogenic Alterations at Diagnosis in High-Risk Neuroblastoma

A recent study identified the spectrum and clinical significance of clonal and subclonal pathogenic alterations in high-risk neuroblastoma.
