Between the Lines™ Podcast: Incorporating Real-World Evidence into Clinical Decisions in NSCLC

Lyudmila Bazhenova, MD, and Federico Albrecht, MD, detailed the importance of using real-world evidence to inform treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

As part of its Between the Lines™ video series, CancerNetwork® spoke with Lyudmila Bazhenova, MD, a professor of medicine at the University of California San Diego Health, and Federico Albrecht, MD, an oncologist/hematologist at Miami Cancer Institute, Baptist Health South Florida, about when and how to use real-world evidence when making treatment decisions for patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

In the video series, Bazhenova and Albrecht discussed the following:
