About the Survey

In partnership with Regeneron, we commissioned a survey through Harris Poll of 250 U.S.-based medical oncologists* to gather perspectives on the current research and treatment landscape of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common form of lung cancer, which is diagnosed in advanced stages 75% of the time. Despite ongoing advances, oncologists say more clinical research would be beneficial in several areas to help improve outcomes for people with this cancer.

*Physicians who qualified for and successfully completed the survey were compensated for their participation.

Results

The survey findings suggest that oncologists believe advanced NSCLC patients would benefit from further research of combination treatments, subpopulations and biomarkers that could potentially help tailor treatment approaches.

Perspective from the Community

“These findings remind us there is still work to do and that our collective dedication to the research of advanced NSCLC, specifically in areas such as biomarker testing and treatment of subpopulations, is crucial to ensuring our patients have the best possible options available to them.”
