摘要: Mutational testing has moved to the forefront as an integral component in management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently there are three targeted therapies (erlotinib, afatinib, and crizotinib) approved by Food Drug Administration (FDA) treat specific genetic abnormalities NSCLC. As mutational screening expands include a greater number genes, it will become more difficult interpret results, particularly if mutations found multiple genes or that not actionable at time testing. This case report summarizes diagnosis treatment patient NSCLC harbored potentially targetable ‘driver’ mutations. We also discuss current NCCN guidelines for inherent difficulties interpretation results when single gene across genes.
