Community Perspectives on Integrating and Interpreting Molecular Testing Results in NSCLC

Author(s):

Drs Ramkumar and Morganstein discuss the challenges they face with integrating and organizing molecular testing results into electronic medical records, how they address non–small cell lung cancer test results with patients, and their hopes for the future of pathology at their institutions.

Welcome to OncLive On Air®! I’m your host today, Ashling Wahner.

OncLive On Air® is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive® covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, sponsored by Amgen, we passed the mic to Benjamin Levy, MD, the clinical director of Medical Oncology at Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Sibley Memorial Hospital, as well as an associate professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr Levy moderated an OncLive® workshop discussion on next-generation sequencing in lung cancer.

Dr Levy was joined by Bhuvana Ramkumar, MD, a medical oncologist at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center in Niagara Falls, New York, and Neil Morganstein, MD, a medical oncologist at the Overlook Medical Center Carol G. Simon Cancer Center in Summit, New Jersey.

In our exclusive interview, Drs Ramkumar and Morganstein discussed the challenges they face with integrating and organizing a variety of molecular testing results into electronic medical records (EMR), how they address the topics of test results and treatment options with patients, and their hopes for the future of pathology at their institutions.
