Abstract excerpt
Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death globally. When apparent incidental pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) are uncovered with routine next generation sequencing (NGS) of NSCLCs, germline testing (GT) is recommended to confirm that PGV. Because it is far more common that an uncovered tumor TP53 variant is related to a somatic event than an incidental PGV, however, GT for Li Fraumeni...
