Expert Roundtables Podcast: Targeted Therapies for Mutation-Driven Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

expert roundtables by Charu Aggarwal, MD, MPH, FASCO; Narjust Florez, MD, FASCO; Helena A. Yu, MD
Overview

Comprehensive biomarker testing is becoming increasingly important across metastatic and early-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet disparities in access, tissue adequacy, and testing practices persist. Today’s podcast features a discussion with Charu Aggarwal, MD, MPH, FASCO, Narjust Florez, MD, FASCO, and Helena A. Yu, MD, on practical testing strategies and recent advances across EGFR-, HER2-, ALK-, RET-, ROS1-, and other mutation-driven NSCLC subsets.
