Why a Targeted Therapy Is Better Than Immunotherapy For Some Patients With Inoperable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Yale Cancer Center/Smilow Cancer Hospital

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, tends not to respond well to immunotherapy treatments, including durvalumab. However, Yale Cancer Center (YCC) researchers recently reported in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology that the targeted therapy osimertinib, when administered after chemotherapy and radiation, is associated with significantly improved progression-free survival (living without the cancer worsening).

Novel Immunotherapy Selectively Targets Malignant T Cells
Yale Cancer Center/Smilow Cancer Hospital

One major hurdle in the development of safe and effective immunotherapies has been the risk of depleting healthy T cells during CAR-T treatment that seeks out and kills cancerous T-cells. In a new study published in Nature Communications, Yale Cancer Center researchers have developed a novel CAR-T cell therapy designed to efficiently kill cancerous T cells while leaving most healthy cells intact.
