Recent advancements in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) treatments have greatly improved patient outcomes.

1. Targeted Therapy

• Atezolizumab (Tecentriq): A PD-L1 inhibitor that enhances the immune response against cancer cells.
• Osimertinib (Tagrisso): An EGFR inhibitor used for patients with specific mutations.
• Crizotinib (Xalkori): Targets ALK-positive NSCLC with significant efficacy.

2. Immunotherapy

• Nivolumab (Opdivo): A PD-1 inhibitor that has shown effectiveness in advanced stages.
• Combination therapies: Combining nivolumab with other agents has improved survival rates.

3. Chemotherapy

• New Regimens: Combining newer agents like pemetrexed with traditional chemotherapy.
• Maintenance therapy: Ongoing treatment post-chemotherapy to prolong survival.

4. Adjuvant Treatments

• Early-stage intervention: Clinical trials exploring adjuvant pembrolizumab post-surgery.

5. Biomarker Testing

• Expanded testing: Genomic profiling to identify the most effective treatment pathways.
• Liquid biopsies: Less invasive tests to monitor treatment response.

6. Clinical Trials

• Ongoing research: Numerous trials are underway to discover novel therapies.
• Personalized medicine: Tailoring treatments based on genetic profiles.
