On May 14, 2025, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the approval of telisotuzumab vedotin-tllv (EMRELIS™) to treat patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high levels of c-Met protein who have been previously treated with a systemic therapy, such as immunotherapy or chemotherapy.  

This ADC, or antibody-drug conjugate, is the first approval of its kind. This ADC treatment is designed with two key elements.  

Historically, approaches to treating lung cancer included surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The past decade ushered in a new era of treatments with targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

What Is Integrative Oncology? 

Integrative oncology is the use of complementary therapies alongside conventional lung cancer treatments like chemotherapy, targ

Surgery is a treatment option for early-stage lung cancer that involves removing all or part of a lung to treat a cancerous tumor. It is primarily an option for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) staged at I, II, or IIIA. Surgery is rarely considered for tumors at stage IIIB or IV because those lung cancers have spread to other parts of the body.

Roughly 20% of lung cancer is diagnosed as early-stage disease, and researchers have been working to improve treatment options for these patients—with significant success.

Brain metastases (also called brain mets) develop when cancer from somewhere else in the body spreads to the brain.  

Lung cancer screening and early detection were major topics of discussion at the World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), held in San Diego from September 7-10, and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) conference in Barcelona from September 13-17. This fourth and final blog in our series of updates summarizes highlights from these discussions.
