Frontline immunotherapy for NSCLC: alone or not alone?
Frontline immunotherapy for NSCLC: alone or not alone?, Published online: 11 July 2018; doi:10.1038/s41571-018-0070-7Platinum-based chemotherapy has long been the mainstay first-line therapy for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer without a targetable driver mutation, but has limited effectiveness. Immunotherapy is drastically changing the treatment landscape for this group and improving survival outcomes, with focus turning to frontline immunotherapy combinations.

Reinforcing the social compromise of accelerated approval
Reinforcing the social compromise of accelerated approval, Published online: 03 July 2018; doi:10.1038/s41571-018-0066-3Accelerated approval enables investigational drugs to reach the US market on the basis of their demonstrated effects in unvalidated surrogate measures, only reasonably likely to predict clinical response. To fulfil the social compromise, regulators should ensure that confirmatory trials testing clinically meaningful end points are already underway at the time of approval.

Early stage NSCLC — challenges to implementing ctDNA-based screening and MRD detection
Early stage NSCLC — challenges to implementing ctDNA-based screening and MRD detection, Published online: 03 July 2018; doi:10.1038/s41571-018-0058-3Liquid biopsy approaches hold great promise in early cancer diagnosis or minimal residual disease monitoring for cancer recurrence. Herein, the authors evaluate contemporary next-generation sequencing approaches to circulating tumour DNA detection in these contexts, with a focus on studies in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. They discuss the feasibility of introducing these strategies into the clinic, highlighting the technical and analytical challenges, as well as ...

Cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic renal cancer — less is more
Cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic renal cancer — less is more, Published online: 02 July 2018; doi:10.1038/s41571-018-0065-4CARMENA, a trial comparing the efficacy of sunitinib alone to that of nephrectomy followed by sunitinib in patients with primary metastatic renal cell carcinoma who require targeted therapy has demonstrated the non-inferiority of systemic therapy alone. The data provided by this and other studies argue for a lesser role of surgery in the management of these patients. (Source: Nature Clinical Practice Oncology)

Synthetic lethal therapies for cancer: what’s next after PARP inhibitors?
Synthetic lethal therapies for cancer: what’s next after PARP inhibitors?, Published online: 28 June 2018; doi:10.1038/s41571-018-0055-6Following the success of poly(ADP-ribose) PARP inhibitors in patients with BRCA1/2 mutations, considerable research interest has emerged in the discovery of alternative forms of synthetic lethality. In this Review, the authors summarize the potential of various novel forms of synthetic lethality to further improve the treatment of patients with cancer. (Source: Nature Clinical Practice Oncology)
