2
Objective How to cure cancer in the Asian population (20min)
3
Advances in NSCLC PET EBUS IGTA VATS Targeted Therapy SABR/SBRT
4
Multidisciplinary care is key! Respiratory medicine - EBUS Radiology/Nuclear Med – PET/IGTA Pathology – Molecular profiling Surgical Oncology - VATS Medical Oncology – Targeted therapy Radiation Oncology – SABR/SBRT
5
PET Functional/metabolic imaging FDG PET-CT Sensitivity ~90% Specificity ~80% Standard work up for pt undergoing curative intent Rx
6
EBUS Bronchoscopy using U/S to visualise and sample mediastinal LNs Allows accurate staging Reduces need for mediastinoscopy or thoracoscopy
7
Image guided thermal ablation IGTA Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) Microwave ablation (MWA) Thermal ablation Out patient Rx Risk of pneumothorax
8
Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) Minimally invasive technique Instead of open thoracotomy Small incision Less Pain and quicker recovery c/f open surgery
9
Targeted Therapy
10
Driver Mutations EGFR ALK KRAS ROS1 MET BRAF PIK3CA HER2 FGFR1 Β-catenin RET DDR2 MEK1
11
Mutation rate in Asians EGFR mutation –West~15% –Asian~50-60% ALK translocation –West~4% –Asian~4%
12
Targeted Drugs/ Personalised medicine Drugs that target specific molecular pathways EGFR –TKI : Erlotinib (Tarceva), Gefitinib (Iressa), Afatinib ALK –Crizotinib, Ceritinib, Alectinib RAS/MEK –Selumetinib ROS1 –Crizotinib BRAF –Dabrafenib RET translocation –Vandetanib, Cabozantinib
13
TKI in EGFR mutated NSCLC Advanced NSCLC (Stage 4) High response rate (60~80%) RCTs show sig better progression free survival c/f chemo Toxicity –Generally well tolerated –Skin rash –Diarrhoea
14
SABR/SBRT
15
SABR Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy Delivery of ablative dose to a target Single/few fractions of very large doses per fraction Short treatment course Conformal planning Precise targeting using image guidance (IGRT) Non invasive
