Predictive markers in lung cancer: a few hints for the practicing pathologist
Abstract
This review article highlights some important points in the evolving area of predictive biomarkers determination in non-small-cell lung cancer toward standardization of testing practices, including EGFR mutations, ALK and ROS1 rearrangements and immunohistochemical expression of PD-L1. Considerations for selecting appropriate populations for molecular testing, and emergence of other targetable molecular alterations are also discussed.
Keywords: ALK; Carcinoma; EGFR; FISH; Immunoistochemistry; Lung; PCR; PDL1; ROS1.
