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:

• Dr Dietrich identified barriers to comprehensive molecular testing including NGS
• Grizzard offered suggestions for clinicians to overcome testing barriers

Dr Lovly addressed treatment prioritization in patients with both ALK+ status and other biomarkers (eg, PD-L1 >1%)
