Faculty

Faculty named by the chairs and attendees in their #AILCC26 posts, grouped by the session they presented or chaired. No public programme was located, so talk titles are taken from the posters’ own captions and affiliations from each speaker’s X profile; names with no X profile are listed as written in the posts. Blue chips are the talk or chair slot; grey chips are the trials named on that speaker’s captured slides or in posts about their talk.

Dr. @MARIANOPROVENCI @gecp_org delivers the opening keynote address of #ailcc26 - neoadjuvant immunotherapy a paradigm shift!

AILCC26 slide — What is a paradigm shift?AILCC26 slide — What makes a true paradigm shift?AILCC26 slide — Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy - Creates new questions that did not previously exist
[Slide 1] What is a paradigm shift? [Book cover: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Second Edition, Enlarged, Thomas S. Kuhn] Thomas S. Kuhn introduced the modern concept of paradigm shift in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), using the Copernican Revolution as one of his key examples. The planets did not change. The way we understood them did. [Two portraits: PTOLEMY (c. 100 - c. 170) The Earth is the center; COPERNICUS (1473 - 1543) The Sun is the center; orbit diagrams and quotations] Mariano Provencio MD, PhD; Puerta de Hierro University Hospital, Madrid, Spain. 3 GECP lung cancer research --- [Slide 2] What makes a true paradigm shift? > Changes outcomes. Improves clinically meaningful endpoints, ultimately survival. > Changes the standard of care. Not simply add another therapeutic option. > Changes how we think about the disease. Modifies the underlying therapeutic concept. > Creates new questions that did not previously exist. Once the paradigm changes, the old clinical questions are no longer sufficient. Mariano Provencio MD, PhD; Puerta de Hierro University Hospital, Madrid, Spain. GECP lung cancer research --- [Slide 3] Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Creates new questions that did not previously exist A paradigm shift is not when a new treatment appears, it is when the new treatment changes the questions we ask. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy has done exactly that Once the paradigm changes, the old clinical questions are no longer enough BEFORE Should we give adjuvant chemotherapy? [arrow] NOW - Who needs adjuvant immunotherapy? - Can treatment be de-escalated after pCR/MPR negativity? - How should we escalate treatment in non-pCR/MPR positive patients? - And ultimately, does every exceptional responder need surgery?

Dr. @FordePatrick at #AILCC26 discusses patient selection for neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy. One challenge with gene signatures and tumor informed ctDNA is limited tissue from initial biopsy which is already needed for EGFR testing etc. tumor agnostic ctDNA an option?

Great to share some thoughts on “Mentorship 101” at the #AILCC26 🇮🇪 One concept I wanted to highlight: hedonic adaptation or “becoming accustomed to success” Yesterday’s dream becomes today’s normality and tomorrow’s expectations. In medicine, we constantly chase the next publication, grant, promotion or achievement. But do we ever stop to appreciate how far we’ve come? We guide a d help our mentees on how to be successful. How about guiding them on how to feel successful? @DrJNaidoo @FordePatrick @gerryhanna #Mentorship #MedicalEducation #Leadership

Radiotherapy & SBRT

The evolving role of radiotherapy and SBRT (McDonald). 1 post · 4 images captured.

On the podiumFiona McDonaldRadiation oncology, United KingdomThe evolving role of radiotherapy and SBRT

Discussion of the evolving role of radiotherapy from Dr. @fifimcdrmh at #AILCC26 - these are all very different scenarios where SBRT can make a major impact. I’m increasingly leaning toward use in induced oligometastatic disease.

Dr. @peters_solange opens day 2 of #AILCC26 with a look at the coming decade for lung cancer. Highlights screening, liquid biopsy, early stage, next gen immunotherapy and access. What is the value of innovation if patients cannot access it (or worse, inequity in access).

Network Analysis

Who drove the #AILCC26 conversation, who amplified it, and who was in the room — the same curated corpus as this page, mapped as networks.

Posts were captured from X under #AILCC26 (October 16–17, 2026) and curated by hand; every card links back to the post it came from and captions are verbatim. Slide text is machine-transcribed from the posted photos and shipped as-is, including [bracketed] markers where the capture could not be read; survival curves are summarized only by the numbers printed on the slide. Sessions and talk titles were reconstructed from the chairs’ and attendees’ own captions because no public programme was located; faculty affiliations come from each speaker’s X profile. Trial names link to KOL Pulse trial profiles where one exists.
