taking repeated X-rays, over a period of two years or longer if the nodule is smaller than 6 millimeters and your risk is low. If the nodule remains the same size for at least two years, it is considered benign. That's because benign lung nodules grow slowly, if at ...
It is still too early to know how the duration of the responses to this new generation of RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitors will compare to those of the first generation of KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors. However, based on previous experience with targeted therapies, it is likely that resistance...
