TROP2 normalized membrane ratio proposed as predictor for Dato-DXd in NSCLC
Stephen V Liu highlighted a Nature Medicine paper using digital pathology to score TROP2 internalisation, rather than expression alone, as a predictor for Dato-DXd in non-small cell lung cancer.

Stephen V Liu, a thoracic oncologist, wrote on X about a paper published in Nature Medicine. The paper examines the normalized membrane ratio (NMR) of TROP2, measured by quantitative continuous scoring (QCS), as a predictor for Dato-DXd, a TROP2 ADC, in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
According to Liu, the work uses a computational pathology approach. It applies digital pathology to assess internalisation, not just expression, of the target.
Liu's post is a brief summary and links to the paper. It does not report study results, patient numbers or outcomes, so those details cannot be confirmed from the post alone.
Liu's X profile describes him as Chief of Hematology & Oncology at Georgetown and MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, and Head of Developmental Therapeutics at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
