Experts have a nuanced debate on frontline treatment for EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with brain metastases, contrasting the central nervous system (CNS) efficacy and clinical familiarity of chemotherapy-based combinations with the precision and potential durability of newer targeted regimens, ultimately emphasizing individualized care and critical appraisal of trial data.

Experts discuss how the evolving landscape of patient access to medical information challenges clinicians to stay current and communicate effectively, while emphasizing the expanding role of circulating tumor DNA testing across multiple cancers—offering more precise, personalized treatment guidance and paving the way for earlier, targeted interventions that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Experts discuss that although financial concerns about ctDNA testing exist, they are generally manageable with patient education and transparent communication, and that incorporating ctDNA into formal clinical guidelines could reduce insurance barriers and alleviate patient anxiety, ultimately enabling broader access to this valuable personalized cancer monitoring tool.

Experts discuss how real-world data counter concerns that ctDNA testing increases patient anxiety, highlighting that most patients feel more reassured and confident in their care when receiving personalized ctDNA results, which supports its integration into routine surveillance to improve both clinical decision-making and patient quality of life.
