Emerging Treatment Approaches and Multidisciplinary Management of Unresectable Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - Episode 3

Optimizing Biomarker Testing for Unresectable Stage III NSCLC

This segment explores the role of biomarker testing in optimizing outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), highlighting challenges in early-stage testing, the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, and recent advances like the LAURA trial that emphasize the need for comprehensive biomarker assessment.

Video content above is prompted by the following:

  • Are you currently performing biomarker testing at your institution for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC prior to treatment?
    • If so, what does the process involve?
  • Who is responsible for ordering the test (e.g., surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists)?
  • How and when is testing typically conducted?
  • Do you perform biomarker testing on blood as a complement to tissue testing?
