Dr. Lyudmila Bazhenova joins the podcast to share the update to the living guideline on stage IV NSCLC without driver alterations. Dr. Bazhenova discusses the evidence reviewed for both non-squamous NSCLC, including the POD1IM-304 and BAP BRAIN trials, and squamous cell NSCLC, including the HARMONi-6 trial. She shares how these results impacted the clinical practice guideline, what they mean for patients receiving immunotherapy and chemotherapy, and where the panel is waiting for additional evidence to clarify the role of therapeutic options. Dr. Bazhenova encourages listeners to stay tuned for future updates to the living guideline after publication of data from the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting.
