    Antoinette Wozniak, MD, FACP, FASCO, a visiting professor of medicine and associate director of clinical research at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), as well as the director of the Lung Cancer Disease Unit and co-director of the UPMC Lung Cancer Center of Excellence, discusses optimizing the use of immunotherapy in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

    Many ongoing research efforts are examining which patients are most likely to benefit from immunotherapy, according to Wozniak. This is important, as many patients with NSCLC who are treated with this modality may not achieve clinical benefit, Wozniak says.

    Another area of focus is identifying why some patients do not respond to treatment, or stop responding entirely, as well as whether utilizing 2 immunotherapy agents that target 2 different pathways will be useful in overcoming mechanisms of resistance or acquired resistance. The field hopes to answer these questions in the coming years, Wozniak concludes.
