The antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab tirumotecan demonstrated significant survival benefits in pretreated EGFR-mutated NSCLC, with median overall survival of 20.0 months versus 13.5 months for docetaxel. The treatment also showed superior progression-free survival and objective response rates with a favorable safety profile compared to chemotherapy.

Precision oncology has transformed brain metastases treatment from lung cancer, extending survival from 6-12 months to 3-5 years through targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and radiosurgery. With 100,000-200,000 annual cases in the US, multidisciplinary approaches now manage this once-terminal condition as a chronic disease.
