Update on the BATTLE trial in lung cancer
One of the highlights of the recent American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting was a plenary session updating the results of the ongoing BATTLE trial at MD Anderson in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The more scientific readers will want to check out the academic paper and commentaries published in Cancer Discovery, (see below) or listen to the complimentary AACR webcast of the plenary talk including Dr Hong’s Reverse Migration Strategy, but I realised that not everyone is familiar with, or understands the background, to this ground breaking study.
It therefore seems a great opportunity to use Storify to collate resources and snippets from social media sources to create a story around the events that have happened over the last year…

One Response to “Update on the BATTLE trial in lung cancer”
Dear Dr. Waun Ki Hong
It’s a great pleasure to read your blog. I
find your post very informative. The goal is
to assign a patient to the clinical trial that offers the best benefit based on
the characteristics of his/her tissue biomarker profile; in other words,
treatment is individualized.
As a reader, I consider your writing to be a
great example of a quality and globally competitive output. It would be a great
thrill and honor if you could share your genuine ideas and knowledge to our
community, Physician Nexus. With this you can gain 1000 physician readers from
over 62 countries on Nexus.
We would love for you to visit our
community. It’s free, takes seconds, and
is designed for physicians only – completely free of industry bias and
commercial interests.
Best,
Lee Marie Lomoljo
