LEADING MEDICAL ORGANIZATIONS UPDATE GUIDELINE FOR MOLECULAR TESTING AND TARGETED THERAPIES IN LUNG CANCER

DENVER, Jan 24 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid advancements in the molecular diagnostic testing of lung cancer have led to new treatments and greater hope for patients battling lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer death worldwide.

To ensure that clinicians stay apace and provide optimal patient care, three leading medical societies—the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP)—have updated their 2013 evidence-based guideline.

Published today in early online release, the “Updated Molecular Testing Guideline for the Selection of Lung Cancer Patients for Treatment with Targeted Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors,” continues to set standards for the molecular analysis of lung cancers for test results that effectively guide targeted therapy and treatment.
