31 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract: The treatment of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in recent years has been increasingly guided by biomarker testing. Testing has centered on driver genetic alterations involving the epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK ) rearrangements. The presence of these mutations is predictive of response to targeted therapies such as EGFR tyrosine...
