Mashup Score: 3
9071 Background: Despite its direct correlation with quality of life, sexual dysfunction is under-discussed and underreported in patients with lung cancer (LC). Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with LC, with issues persisting over time; however, most data precede the approval of targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. We report updated data from the SHAWL study, focusing on women’s sex life satisfaction. Methods: This cross-sectional, international survey study was administered via the GO2 Foundation Lung Cancer Registry. We utilized the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sexual Function and Satisfaction Measures for data collection. Participants were recruited from June 2020 to June 2021. Eligibility criteria included age > 18 years, self-identification as a woman, and an LC diagnosis within ten years. Participants were asked about sexual health pertaining to 30 days before survey completion, now referred to as “recent.” Re

Mashup Score: 2Precision Immuno-Oncology in NSCLC through Gender Equity Lenses - 24 day(s) ago
Precision immuno-oncology involves the development of personalized cancer treatments that are influenced by the unique nature of an individual’s DNA, immune cells, and their tumor’s molecular characterization. Biological sex influences immunity; females typically mount stronger innate and adaptive immune responses than males. Though more research is warranted, we continue to observe an enhanced benefit for females with lung cancer when treated with combination chemoimmunotherapy in contrast to the preferred approach of utilizing immunotherapy alone in men. Despite the observed sex differences in response to treatments, women remain underrepresented in oncology clinical trials, largely as a result of gender-biased misconceptions. Such exclusion has resulted in the development of less efficacious treatment guidelines and clinical recommendations and has created a knowledge gap in regard to immunotherapy-related survivorship issues such as fertility. To develop a more precise approach to
