Profiling Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: From Tumor to Blood

Clin Cancer Res. 2016 Feb 15;22(4):790-2. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-15-2514. Epub 2015 Dec 15.

Abstract

Circulating cell-free tumor DNA has shown great promise for noninvasive genomic profiling to guide the administration of targeted therapies in non-small cell lung cancer. With advancements in molecular technology, it is now possible to interrogate multiple clinically actionable genetic drivers in the blood with a single assay.
