Have to go, but even though new therapies give hope, there is still a lot of room for improvement and need for research.

Things are changing so fast it is hard to keep up with the new treatments. Second opinions help. Also join IASLC and go to World Lung Conf.

There are many types - and many targets within each type. It is very complicated

Cancers suppress the immune system to avoid being killed by it. Immunotherapies today "unmask" the tumor and allow it to do its job

I view it as finding the optimal treatment for each patient based on the molecular features of that patient and their tumor
