Virtual Summits

This Virtual Summit follows the 4-part Best Practices in NSCLC Biomarker Testing Videoconference Series in which we learned about participants’ specific challenges and areas for opportunity in the lab. In this practical, unique event, we explored actionable CQI solutions to common problems in the workflow through the lens of those who have tackled similar challenges in their lab contexts. Each session closes with a multidisciplinary panel discussion of how the team works through making key decisions related to topics covered.

Session 1: Tissue Acquisition and Processing

Session 2: Ordering and Turnaround Time

Session 1: You’ll learn what factors influence testing selection for patients with advanced NSCLC.

Speakers will discuss what factors influence the selection of particular testing methods, how much tissue is needed for certain types of tests, and the importance of interprofessional collaboration during the testing selection process.

Session 2: You’ll get clarity on biomarker testing methodology and recommendations.

Speakers will discuss the advantages and limitations of using different testing techniques, guidelines, and key discussions between interprofessional team members to optimize biomarker testing and patient care.

Session 3: You’ll gain insight on advanced NSCLC treatment opportunities and optimizing patient care.

Speakers will discuss available guideline-based treatment options, treatment resistance, and potential barriers towards optimizing patient care.
