Genomic data from NSCLC tumors reveals correlation between SHP-2 activity and PD-L1 expression and suggests synergy in combining SHP-2 and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

The identification of novel therapies, new strategies for combination of therapies, and repurposing of drugs approved for other indications are all important for continued progress in the fight against lung cancers. Antibodies that target immune checkpoints can unmask an immunologically hot tumor fr...
