Summary:
- Prior radiotherapy does not preclude additional courses; when assessing whether repeat radiotherapy is contraindicated, what matters is the effective dose to critical structures such as the airway or blood vessels
- Proton therapy or SBRT may be considered for reirradiation
- The mechanism of acquired resistance should be determined via tissue sampling prior to recommending a switch in immunotherapy, as acquired resistance following osimertinib may be due to a multitude of mutations. If this cannot be ascertained, cytotoxic chemotherapy is the next step, with a regimen of carboplatin and pemetrexed recommended with continued osimertinib.
- Bevacizumab may be considered as an adjunct, but there are no data to support its use at this time.
