Dr Scagliotti speaks to ecancertv at ESMO 2016 about results from the confirmatory phase III trial ASCEND-5.

He summarises these results, confirming the benefit of ceritinib for lung cancer patients with ALK rearrangements who had previously received crizotinib, and goes on to consider the impact of kinase inhibitor therapy.

Video of the press conference in which these results were announced is available here.
