ROS1-Alterations and Molecular Testing in Advanced NSCLC

  • Summary

  • In this episode, listen to Alice T. Shaw, MD, PhD, and Jessica J. Lin, MD, share their thoughts on the current understanding of ROS1 rearrangements in non-small-cell lung cancer tumor biology and its implications for molecular testing and treatment selection including:

    • ROS1-gene fusions in advanced lung cancer
    • ROS1 testing recommendations with DNA NGS, RNA NGS, FISH break apart assay, and IHC
    • Comparative specificity of ROS1 and ALK targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors
