In this segment, Dr. Alexander Spira and Dr. Ticiana Leal discuss variability in treatment selection for early-stage EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and strategies to promote guideline-aligned care. Dr. Leal highlights that despite clear recommendations, differences in practice patterns persist, particularly in community settings.

The panel debates how real-world differences in efficacy, vein-to-vein time, manufacturing reliability, and toxicity should influence selection between the two second-line CAR T options for early relapsed/refractory LBCL. One side argues that efficacy is broadly similar and that lower all-grade CRS/neurotoxicity, especially for outpatient delivery, favors the less toxic product, whereas the other emphasizes faster manufacturing, longer follow-up experience, and the importance of overall survival data in driving decisions. The discussion converges on individualized selection based on the patient in front of you (disease tempo, fitness, logistics, and center capacity), while acknowledging the lack of head-to-head randomized comparisons.
