Milano was full of knowledge, fearless debates and mentorship. Thank you to the organizing committee for the invitation @BRicciutiMD @mihaela_aldea and Roberto Ferrara Day #1 workshop with fellows Day #2 Debate
Honored to be part of the Yin&Yang Lung Cancer Masterclass in Milan 🇮🇹 Presented a case on EGFR-mutant NSCLC, had the chance to see a great debate led by @JuliaRotow and @BenjaminBesseMD and connected with young oncologists from around the world.
Brilliant event with dynamic debates, meaningful discussions on how we interpret clinical studies and great conversations with colleagues from all over! Huge thanks to @RobertoFerrara_ @mihaela_aldea and @BRicciutiMD for organising such a fresh and engaging meeting! #YinYang2025
Dynamic debate b/w @JuliaRotow & @BenjaminBesseMD on 1L combos vs 1L osi for #EGFR+ NSCLC 💠#FLAURA2 & #MARIPOSA more effective for most subgroups than osi alone: highly important for pts w/⬆️risk features 💠Significant tox of MARIPOSA: need for mitigation (subQ ami, COCOON ppx)
Honored to participate in a vibrating series of debates in hot topics in lung cancer. Very inspiring for young oncologists and really challenging for the faculty to keep it fair and funny. Great initiative and bold format. Congrats for the success!! 👏 @RobertoFerrara_…
@SWaliany presented treatm options and sequences in ALK+ resected NSCLC. @Tony_Calles @MarianaBrandao0 fighting on the role of adjuvant chemo in oncogene+ NSCLC at #Yin&Yang Lung Cancer Masterclass 2025. Nice perspectives on the ideal ALINA trial @mihaela_aldea @BiagioRicciutMD
Enjoyed participating in the session on adjuvant #EGFR & #ALK TKI at Yin & Yang Lung Cancer Masterclass w/ @Tony_Calles & @MarianaBrandao0 w/ important debate on role of adjuvant chemo prior to TKI. Thanks to @mihaela_aldea @RobertoFerrara_ @BRicciutiMD for the chance to present!
Fantastic debate b/w @JessicaJLinMD & @NarjustFlorezMD at Yin & Yang Lung Ca Masterclass: 1L lorlatinib vs 1L 2G TKIs for ALK+ mNSCLC 💠Median PFS >5yrs of 1L lorla. More limited 2L+ activity especially w/o secondary mut 💠More challenging tox of lorla: neurocog AE,⬆️wt, HLD, etc
Excited to be at the Yin & Yang Lung Cancer Masterclass organized by @mihaela_aldea @RobertoFerrara_ @BRicciutiMD. Innovative roundtable on clinical trial design + engaging & informative workshop/article discussions. Honored to be in Milan at the 1st Ed of this amazing conference
🔥 A brilliant case by @CMHidalgoFilho in EGFR+ NSCLC ignites one of the hottest debates: MARIPOSA vs FLAURA2 vs FLAURA at #Yin&Yang 2025 conference in Milan 💥 On stage 2 titans @BenjaminBesseMD & @JuliaRotow face off in a thought-provoking showdown @mihaela_aldea @BRicciutiMD

Great post by @FabioSalomone22 @AntonioNuccio01 @RobertoFerrara_ Nice graph with PR, AR and the complex Immune Features. Despite 10 years of the ICI and the long tails of some trials we have very poor patient selection. #Oncology #LCSM #LungCancer #LungCancerResearch
