Characteristics, treatment patterns, and biomarker testing of patients with advanced RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer in a real-world multi-country observational stud... by Urpo Kiiskinen, Grace Segall, Hollie Bailey, Cameron Forshaw, Tarun Puri

“…For the overall aNSCLC cohort, 899 (31%) were tested for RET fusions; 84% of RET test results were available prior to initiation of aNSCLC treatment. Comparisons between the two cohorts showed similar proportions of patients treated with chemotherapy (± immunotherapy), but less use of immunotherapy only or targeted therapy in the RET fusion-positive cohort.ConclusionsResults of this real-world study provide insights into clinical characteristics, biomarker testing, and treatment patterns of patients with RET fusion-positive aNSCLC and highlight the need for awareness and education to increase RET testing with the intent to treat with selective RET inhibitors when appropriate to optimize outcomes for patients.…”
