Real-world insights on biomarker testing patterns and implications for mNSCLC therapy selection
Most patients with mNSCLC did not undergo comprehensive biomarker testing, leading to potential missed opportunities for precision therapy. Disparities in testing and treatment underscore the need for expanded access to molecular diagnostics, payer support for comprehensive testing (including liquid biopsy), and alignment with national guidelines to improve outcomes and advance equitable cancer care.
