Cancer diagnostics often begin with a biopsy and histopathologic examination, from the basis of physical examination and medical history. Sometimes the first indication is an abnormal laboratory test result (eg, anemia resulting from colon cancer).
There is an expanding list of therapeutically relevant biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and molecular profiling at diagnosis is paramount. Tissue attrition in scaling tradi...
