FOR A METASTATIC NSCLC PATIENT

HE HAS

ONE CHANCE

AT FIRST-LINE THERAPY

Knowing his mutation status may mean the difference between getting the right first-line treatment or not

ARE YOU SURE YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE?

TEST EVERY mNSCLC PATIENT

In metastatic NSCLC

ONE MISSED PATIENT
IS ONE TOO MANY

BE SURE your patients get all the molecular testing they need

 

1 IN 3 patients with lung adenocarcinoma has an actionable mutation1-3

 

BE SURE to test all mNSCLC patients for oncogenic mutations, regardless of phenotype

  • National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) recommends clinicopathologic features such as ethnicity, smoking status, or histology NOT be used to select patients for EGFR mutational testing4

BE SURE. Don’t settle for an unknown molecular status

  • NCCN recommends that repeat biopsy and/or plasma testing should be done if initial biopsy is insufficient if feasible4

To be sure of your first-line treatment choice is to know their full molecular profile
KNOW THEIR FULL RESULTS

In metastatic NSCLC

INTEGRATE LIQUID BIOPSY

TO BE SURE OF THEIR STATUS

Optimal treatment starts with knowing the driver of their disease

ARE YOU USING BOTH TISSUE AND LIQUID BIOPSY?

INTEGRATE LIQUID BIOPSY

In metastatic NSCLC

LIQUID BIOPSY PLUS TISSUE TESTING ARE CRITICAL IN HELPING TO FIND MORE ACTIONABLE MUTATIONS‡

LIQUID BIOPSY CAN HELP YOU BE SURE OF YOUR PATIENT’S STATUS

QNS
In cases of QNS (quantity not sufficient)
In patients with tissue QNS, ~28% were found to have actionable mutations with liquid biopsy5§
QNS
When tissue is not feasible
In patients who were unable to have a tissue biopsy, ~23% were found to have actionable mutations with liquid biopsy5§
QNS
When fast turnaround time is critical
Liquid biopsy results were received within a median of 9 days, according to a clinical study6||
  

Use both liquid biopsy and tissue to help make a difference for every mNSCLC patient identified

  • Liquid biopsy and tissue together increased detection of actionable mutations by 17% over mutations found in tissue alone5
