===Diagnostic immunohistochemistry===
Whereas large cell carcinoma is more often histologically distinct, adenocarcinoma and SCC may look alike. In such cases, an [[immunohistochemistry]] panel of TTF1, CK5/6, and p63 can be used to distinguish the two.<ref name="pmid29538329">{{cite journal| author=Inamura K| title=Update on Immunohistochemistry for the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer. | journal=Cancers (Basel) | year= 2018 | volume= 10 | issue= 3 | pages=  | pmid=29538329 | doi=10.3390/cancers10030072 | pmc=5876647 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=29538329  }} </ref><ref name="pmid30235512">{{cite journal| author=Affandi KA, Tizen NMS, Mustangin M, Zin RRMRM| title=p40 Immunohistochemistry Is an Excellent Marker in Primary Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma. | journal=J Pathol Transl Med | year= 2018 | volume= 52 | issue= 5 | pages= 283-289 | pmid=30235512 | doi=10.4132/jptm.2018.08.14 | pmc=6166010 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=30235512  }} </ref>

In case of adenocarcinoma, in order to distinguish primary lung cancer from a gastrointestinal metastasis, the best panel, in addition to CK7 and TTF-1, may be CDX2 and/or GPA33 plus MUC2, or all of the following GI markers: CDH17, CDX2, CK20, GPA33, MUC2, and SATB2 with four positive GI markers supporting metastasis.<ref name="pmid37349623">{{cite journal| author=Malmros K, Lindholm A, Vidarsdottir H, Jirström K, Nodin B, Botling J | display-authors=etal| title=Diagnostic gastrointestinal markers in primary lung cancer and pulmonary metastases. | journal=Virchows Arch | year= 2023 | volume=  | issue=  | pages=  | pmid=37349623 | doi=10.1007/s00428-023-03583-w | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=37349623  }} </ref>

For non-small cell carcinoma, the following algorithm can be applied:
{{NSCLC molecular workup}}
*Stages IB through IIIA: EGFR mutation analysis.
*Stages IIIB and IV: Full next generation sequencing panel (DNA and RNA) with PDL-1 immunostaining.
