Cover Story: Clinicians face a daily “crossroads” when selecting the most appropriate treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite multiple available combination therapies, real-world decision-making remains challenging, and a clear guidepost is needed. This study compared two atezolizumab-based regimens—carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel + atezolizumab (ACnP) and carboplatin + paclitaxel + bevacizumab + atezolizumab (ABCP)—which are relevant for patients with renal dysfunction or resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. ABCP demonstrated greater effectiveness in patients with EGFR-positive NSCLC, liver metastases, and brain metastases. These findings may help clinicians select more personalized and effective treatments in daily practice and provide an important guidepost at this therapeutic crossroads. View this paper
