Recent advancements in first-line lung cancer therapies have significantly improved patient outcomes and treatment strategies.

1. Immunotherapy Approaches

• Checkpoint Inhibitors: Drugs like pembrolizumab and nivolumab have shown significant efficacy in NSCLC patients.
• Combined Therapy: Combining checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy has become a standard treatment.
• Neoantigen-based Vaccines: Personalized vaccines targeting specific tumor mutations are being explored.

2. Targeted Therapies

• EGFR Inhibitors: New generations of inhibitors like osimertinib are now first-line treatments for EGFR-mutant NSCLC.
• ALK Inhibitors: Alectinib and brigatinib are effective for ALK-positive NSCLC.
• ROS1 Inhibitors: Crizotinib and entrectinib show promise for ROS1- rearranged cancers.

3. Combination Therapies

• ChemoImmunotherapy: Studies suggest that combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy enhances efficacy.
• Targeted Immunotherapy: Integrating targeted therapy for mutations with immunotherapy shows improved outcomes.
