50. ASCO 2023 - Metastatic NSCLC

Every epic journey has that moment when the end is in sight. The start of the last lap of the race, the final dramatic encounter with the main villain. On this episode of Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind, that villain is metastatic lung cancer, with a particular focus on EGFR mutant disease. There have been a lot of questions raised about the best next step after the failure of the star of ASCO 2023: osimertinib. Here, Josh and Michael examine three breaking studies that seek to shed some light on the slowly-unravelling mystery of how to best sequence and treat EGFR mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Finally, as we surpass fifty episodes, we wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has joined us on Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind so far. We have gone from two guys completely ignorant to the ways of podcasting to two guys almost completely ignorant to the ways of podcasting with a burgeoning, supportive and engaging community. For that, we cannot thank you enough. We love bringing this content to you, and we cannot wait for the next fifty episodes. We have a lot of exciting stuff yet to come!
