Speaking on biomarkers and targeted therapy in lung cancer
Prof. Mok’s main research focus lies in the development of targeted therapies for lung cancers. He has led and co-led several international clinical trials which have helped define clinical practice, including KEYNOTE-042, IMPRESS and FASTACT 2. He was the Principal Investigator and first author for the landmark IPASS trial, which showed for the first time that a targeted therapy improved outcomes over standard chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
