Yale Medicine physicians are using robotic bronchoscopy instead of traditional bronchoscopy for lung cancer diagnosis. Robotic bronchoscopy allows them to better reach smaller parts of the lungs. During a robotic bronchoscopy, the doctor uses a controller at a console to operate a robotic arm, which then guides the bronchoscope’s thin, flexible tube through the airways.
Nuvalent, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on creating precisely targeted therapies for clinically proven kinase targets in cancer, announced positive topline pivotal data for neladalkib, an investigational ALK-selective inhibitor, in tyrosine kinase inhibitor pre-treated patients with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer from the global ALKOVE-1 phase I/II clinical trial.
