Panelists discuss how the treatment approach for a 67-year-old man with stage IIIB+ non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) awaiting mutation testing involves balancing the urgency of initiating therapy with the importance of molecular testing to guide targeted treatment decisions.

Next Steps to Stage IIIB NSCLC Patient Case Awaiting Molecular Testing and Usability of Liquid Biopsy

Videos

Panelists discuss how genetic testing and RET-targeted therapies play a crucial role in guiding the treatment of advanced NSCLC, with a focus on optimizing first-line therapy and managing challenges in molecular testing and treatment sequencing.

Patient Case: 67 Year-Old Male With Stage IIIB+ NSCLC Awaiting for Mutation Testing

Panelists discuss how molecular testing is crucial in guiding treatment for advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), emphasizing the prevalence of mutations like BRAF, KRAS, MET, RET, and EGFR, and their impact on selecting targeted therapies.

Panelists discuss the various tests available for detecting genetic mutations in advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including next-generation sequencing (NGS), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Sanger sequencing, and explore whether one method is considered the “gold standard” according to the NCCN guidelines. They also address the appropriate use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing, comparing it to tissue testing in this disease state.

Testing Methodologies and Standards in Metastatic NSCLC

Panelists discuss strategies for clinicians without access to in-house molecular testing, focusing on how to ensure appropriate turnaround times when outsourcing tests and share insights on the typical timeline for receiving biomarker testing results at their respective institutions.

Practical Considerations in Metastatic NSCLC: Access and Timing of Testing

Panelists discuss how to balance the need for comprehensive biomarker testing with the urgency to initiate treatment in patients with advanced disease and explore situations where treatment might be started before test results are available.

Clinical-Decision Making: When to Treat Advanced NSCLC Without Mutational Results

Panelists discuss the initial approach to the management of RET-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), focusing on treatment strategies and the role of targeted therapies such as RET inhibitors in first-line treatment.

Initial Approach to Management of RET-Positive NSCLC

Panelists discuss their initial impressions of a patient case with RET fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), treatment goals for newly diagnosed patients, and the key patient and disease characteristics considered when selecting a first-line treatment regimen.

Patient and Therapy Considerations Guiding Initiation of Treatment in RET-Positive NSCLC

Panelists discuss the specific factors that influence the decision to initiate one of the NCCN guideline–preferred RET inhibitors, selpercatinib or pralsetinib, over the other in the treatment of RET fusion–positive NSCLC.

Considerations for First-Line Targeted Therapies in Metastatic RET-Positive NSCLC

Panelists discuss the situations in which other first-line therapies, such as cabozantinib or PD-L1–positive chemotherapy options, might be considered for RET fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and compare the role of chemotherapy and immunotherapy to that of RET inhibitors in this setting.

Role of Immunotherapy and Chemotherapy in RET-Positive NSCLC

Panelists discuss the common adverse effects for patients receiving selpercatinib or pralsetinib, strategies for managing these effects, and whether differences in the safety profiles of these drugs influence treatment choices for RET fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer.
