Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Dr. Julia Rotow reported on a study looking at silevertinib, with data showing it may offer a new first-line option for hard-to-treat EGFR non-small cell lung cancer variants, with encouraging brain activity and manageable side effects.
Dr. Alicia Morgans of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute reported at #ASCO26 that ARACOG found darolutamide was associated with less decline in cognitive testing than enzalutamide, which may help guide treatment choice.
