MS03.2 - Novel Targets in Squamous Cancer (ID 468)
14:30 - 14:55 | Author(s): P. Hammerman
- Abstract

Abstract
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (lung SqCC) is the second most common histology of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). While the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma has developed substantially over the past decade due to the discovery of a host of therapeutic biomarkers progress in lung SqCC has been more modest. However, large scale genomic studies of lung SqCC as well as early biomarker directed trials suggest that treatment options are likely to improve in the near future for lung SqCC given the rapid expansion in our knowledge of the molecular basis of this disease. There is now an opportunity for substantial improvement in outcomes for patients with lung SqCC and my presentation will focus on the opportunities and challenges that face our community as we try to make progress in treating this disease. Here, I will discuss several recent studies which have defined the genomic landscape of lung SqCC in multiple patient cohorts and discuss the results of these studies in contrast to lung adenocarcinoma. I will review the predictive and prognostic biomarkers identified to date for lung SqCC and present pre-clinical and early clinical data on several therapeutic biomarkers with an emphasis on Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor alterations. I will note clinical trials in progress and those which are likely to begin soon as well as diagnostic testing for patients with lung SqCC. I will also discuss pre-clinical data which have shed light on the development of lung SqCCs and discuss opportunities for further development in this field.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.
