Description

Yueying Chen and seven co-authors compare lung cancer treatments in a 2025 analysis. Some lung cancers resist the targeted pills aimed at a mutated growth receptor. Antibody drug conjugates, which ferry poison straight to tumor cells, are a newer option. The team weighed them against chemotherapy and other regimens after resistance sets in.

Nineteen randomized trials with over four thousand patients entered the pool. A Bayesian network method ranked the options by survival gains. One conjugate led clearly on both delay of growth and overall survival. Rankings of combined scores confirmed its edge over plain chemotherapy. Safety profiles were weighed alongside benefit. The authors name the leading conjugate the current best choice. Larger head to head trials could still shift the ranking.
