Professor @drjnaidoo.bsky.social welcomed to the #BTOG25 stage as a Lung Cancer Legend & doesn’t disappoint. Lots of discussion on how we turn discussions on Small Cell Lung Cancer on its head. Lots of optimism in #SCLC coming from new standards & future treatments. #LCSM

Although @stephenvliu.bsky.social is hard to follow, we’ve just had an absolute tour de force by @drjnaidoo.bsky.social at #BTOG25 on #SCLC

➡️ Discusses NRG005 and the better outcomes for patients reviving twice daily radiotherapy.

➡️ Continued evidence of a benefit from PCI in LS-SCLC

With the successful role out of the TLHC programme, we now have a growing cohort of stage 1 SCLC patients. Hopefully this will become even more common, and work needed to understand optimal patient management @drjnaidoo.bsky.social #BTOG25

Sex and common germline variants impact the toxicity profile and pharmacokinetics of alectinib: a nation-wide cohort study in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer Alectinib, a small-molecule kinase inhibitor, is used as first-line treatment for anaplastic lymphoma kinase–positive (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Albeit generally well-tolerated, a considerable subset of patients requires dose adjustments due to drug-related toxicity. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes related to the metabolism of alectinib may upfront identify patients at risk for toxicity.

Can gender & genetics impact alectinib tox? @jtoonline.bsky.social

- 215pts with ALK+ NSCLC
- women had ⬆️g3+ tox (f v m: 56% v 34% p=0.001), 35% had ⬆️trough levels p<0.001
- Pts with SNP affecting alectinib metabolism (PPAR-α 209G>A) had ⬆️g3+ tox

Tables and Tornadoes: The Best Tools for the Job?

Tables (sometimes BIG) are among most routinely used tools to show data like baseline characteristics & AEs, while “tornado plots” are a standard figure to display AEs & sometimes other variables.

But could we do better, esp for live talks? (1/8)
