AACR 2026 | Genomic drivers and targeted therapy in smoking-related lung cancer

Maria Teresa Landi, MD, PhD, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, comments on the complexities of lung adenocarcinoma in smokers, highlighting the importance of targeted therapies for EGFR mutations, as well as other drivers such as ALK, ROS1, and RET fusions, and TP53 mutations. These genetic alterations can impact the aggressivity of the tumor and its response to treatment, and the cell of origin may be crucial in developing effective treatment strategies. This interview took place at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026 in San Diego, CA.
