Panelists discuss how to overcome barriers to comprehensive molecular testing and how to prioritize treatment when ALK+ non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) coexists with other actionable biomarkers.

Episodes in this series

Molecular Testing and Biomarker Considerations

Key Themes:

  • Barriers to equitable access for comprehensive molecular testing
  • Strategies to overcome testing barriers
  • Treatment prioritization when ALK+ status coexists with other actionable biomarkers

Notable Insights:
