Osimertinib Has Transformed Lung Cancer Care — But at What Cost to the Heart?

Muhammad Awidi, Hematology and Oncology Fellow at Roswell Park Cancer Center, shared on LinkedIn.

”Osimertinib has changed the landscape for EGFR-mutated lung cancer, but its long-term heart safety has remained uncertain.

In our latest paper, we found that patients treated with osimertinib had higher rates of cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, and heart failure compared with earlier-generation EGFR inhibitors. As survival improves, our findings highlight the need for ongoing cardiovascular monitoring to help prevent late toxicities.

Grateful to my outstanding co-authors Zaid Muhanna, Muntaser Zyoud, and Ahmad Issa three talented medical students I had the privilege to mentor on this project.”
