BRIEF REPORT: Plasma genotyping at the time of diagnostic tissue biopsy decreases time to treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC – results from a prospective pilot study

Introduction: The availability of targeted therapies has transformed the management of advanced NSCLC; however, the majority of patients do not undergo guideline-recommended tumor genotyping. The impact of plasma-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) performed simultaneously with diagnostic biopsy in suspected advanced NSCLC has largely been unexplored... Conclusions: Plasma-based NGS performed at the time of diagnostic biopsy in patients with suspected advanced NSCLC is associated with decreased time-to-treatment compared to usual care. READ ARTICLE
