EGFR Mutations Are Not All the Same: the Importance of Biomarker Testing in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)—A Podcast Discussion Between Patients and Oncologists

Adis Journal Podcasts

In this podcast, two oncologists and two patient advocates from the patient advocacy group EGFR Resisters talk about the importance of biomarker testing for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and how this can affect treatment decisions and personalised medicine. The panel discusses what biomarkers are, the processes involved in obtaining biomarker testing, how biomarker information is used, and the importance of waiting for biomarker results prior to determining treatment. The panel also discusses patient perspectives on biopsy and biomarker testing and how healthcare professionals can best help guide new patients through this process.
