Welcome to the Oncology Brothers podcast! In this episode, we dive into the management of ROS1 fusion positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and explore the various tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) available for this rare subset of patients.
Join us along with special guest Dr. Estelamari Rodriguez, a thoracic medical oncologist from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, as we discussed:
• The importance of comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) in management of NSCLC.
• A detailed overview of ROS1 TKIs, including crizotinib, repotrectinib, entrectinib, taletrectinib.
• Common side effects associated with these agents, such as fatigue, dizziness, edema, and liver toxicity.
• Clinical pearls for managing adverse events and optimizing patient care.
• The significance of patient education and regular follow-ups in ensuring treatment adherence and safety.
Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone interested in oncology, this episode provides valuable insights into the practical aspects of treating ROS1 fusion positive NSCLC.
