Biomarker testing strategies in non-small cell lung cancer in the real-world setting: analysis of methods in the Prospective Central Lung Cancer Biomarker Registry (LungPath) from the Spanish Society of Pathology (SEAP)

Javier Martin-Lopez et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the techniques used in determining EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and PD-L1 in patients with advanced NSCLC. The results showed that Spanish hospitals made efforts to perform biomarker determination using different methodologies, although the utilization of NGS was low.

Molecular diagnosis in non-small-cell lung cancer: expert opinion on ALK and ROS1 testing

Esther Conde et al.

Summary: Accurate determination of the genomic status of the tumor is crucial for the effectiveness of targeted therapies in non-small-cell lung cancer patients. Immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridisation are commonly used techniques, but challenges exist in interpreting results and meeting technical requirements.

IHC versus FISH versus NGS to detect ALK gene rearrangement in NSCLC: all questions answered?

Ullas Batra et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the concordance between immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) for ALK biomarker detection in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The results showed a concordance of 75.9% between IHC and FISH, and 84.5% between IHC and NGS. NGS demonstrated higher sensitivity (87.5%) compared to FISH (75.6%), with differences in progression-free survival observed between different biomarker detection methods.

Reflex ROS1 IHC Screening with FISH Confirmation for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer-A Cost-Efficient Strategy in a Public Healthcare System

Maisam Makarem et al.

Summary: ROS1 rearrangements are found in 1-2% of lung adenocarcinoma cases, with reflex testing being the recommended strategy. A study showed that reflex IHC screening with FISH confirmation is a cost-efficient strategy with quick TAT and maximizes TP case detection.
