Targeting EGFR, T790M, ALK, and ROS1 in NSCLC

Overview / Abstract:	Oncology treatment teams are tasked with navigating through a steady increase in the number and complexity of molecular biomarkers that guide treatment decisions. FDA-approved companion tests have expanded testing options and provide uniformity of reporting, yet challenges in the clinical setting and the potential to negatively impact patient outcomes persist. As part of the continuum of care in oncology, there is an increasing demand for genomic testing to guide the course of treatment. Misinterpretation and over-interpretation of biomarker and genomic tests can be confusing. There is no shortage of targeted agents for the well-established molecular subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, selecting the right agents for the right patients remains a challenge in the community setting. Appropriate evidence-based and quality care will directly affect reimbursement and incentives within the new payment models.
