Perseverance pays off – Looking beyond the obvious mutations in NSCLC Oncology Medical Conversation

Why is it important to perform comprehensive molecular testing in non-small cell lung cancer to look beyond the obvious mutations? Which biomarker tests are best andwhen should testing be performed?
In this podcast episode, you’ll hear Prof. Mark Socinski (medical oncologist) and Prof. Frédérique Penault-Llorca (pathologist) discuss why perseverance with molecular testing pays off in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
As the conversation unfolds, the experts explain why it’s so important to identify genetic alterations in NSCLC, which biomarker testing approaches should be considered standard of care, and the importance of close collaboration with the pathologist and other members of the multidisciplinary team for optimal patient care.
