Welcome to the July edition of the KRAS Patient Gateway newsletter—where we share the latest news, community events, and tips for navigating KRAS+ NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer).
Research Progress
Throughout the year, LUNGevity brings you news from the most impactful oncology conferences so that you can stay up to date on the progress and breakthroughs in KRAS research and treatment.
The 2026 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting in San Diego was an important conference that showcased exciting lung cancer treatments on the horizon. Dr. Upal Basu Roy, LUNGevity’s Executive Director of Research, compiled the most impactful lung cancer science presented at the meeting—including information about new KRAS inhibitors being tested in clinical trials.
- Our LUNGevity team also attended the 2026 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the world largest gathering of cancer researchers, to bring you the latest news about lung cancer treatment. Check out the science highlights from the meeting, including a promising new drug combination to treat newly diagnosed KRAS G12C+ lung cancer.
