Approaches to Biomarker Testing in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Author(s)Misako Nagasaka, MD, PhD, Sai-Hong Ou, MD, PhD, Janellen Smith, MD

In this program, Sai-Hong Ou, MD, PhD, discusses biomarker testing for precision medicine in non-small cell lung cancer, emphasizing the importance of both tissue and blood-based genotyping, and the need for a complementary approach due to potential limitations in detecting targetable mutations.
