For non-small cell carcinoma, the following algorithm can be applied:
For non-small cell carcinoma stages IB - IV, perform full next generation sequencing panel (DNA and RNA) with PDL-1 immunostaining if the treating physician approves. For advanced stage NSCLC that are not candidates for biopsy or re-biopsy, “liquid biopsy” on peripheral blood is a viable option.
*Stages IB through IIIA: EGFR mutation analysis.
*Stages IIIB and IV: Full next generation sequencing panel (DNA and RNA) with PDL-1 immunostaining.
