The Journal of Thoracic Oncology is the IASLC's journal and the leading specialist venue for lung cancer and mesothelioma: staging, biomarkers, targeted-therapy and screening research.
Publishes the IASLC TNM staging proposals, lung-cancer screening implementation studies, biomarker testing guidelines and phase 2 trials and long-term follow-up in EGFR, ALK, KRAS and other molecularly defined lung cancers. Hybrid access via Elsevier; the World Conference on Lung Cancer abstracts appear here.
The survival benefit first reported in 2023 has held five years after the last dose of adjuvant osimertinib, which answers the worry that a three-year course only delays relapse. Patients with an exon 19 deletion gained most; the L858R estimate crosses one and is less certain. Nothing here changes the recommendation, which already rests on the 2023 analysis, but it tightens the case for testing every resected non-squamous tumour for EGFR mutations.

It corrected a widely repeated simplification. An STK11 or KEAP1 mutation is not by itself a reason to expect immunotherapy to fail; it is a reason to expect it in a KRAS-mutant tumour, which is how the result should be read on a report.
The names on a thymic pathology report, and the sharp line between thymoma and thymic carcinoma that drives treatment, come from this classification.

It is the reality check on the subtype model and it has a direct consequence for treatment: the DLL3-directed medicines are aimed at the neuroendocrine-high subtypes, and the POU2F3 and double-negative tumours will not express the target.
It gives the sequencing report a prognostic reading that does not depend on a repeat biopsy: an EGFR-mutant cancer that also carries RB1 and TP53 alterations will stop responding sooner and should be watched for a change of histology.

It is the reason a laboratory can run one stain and report against several drug labels, and the reason any decision resting on an immune-cell score rests on the least reproducible number in lung pathology.
It is the document that defines what a complete lung cancer molecular report looks like, and its asymmetry about plasma, rule in but never rule out, is the single most useful sentence in it.
