Quickly test your knowledge in this eight-question quiz that follows a patient from workup of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Exon 20 insertion biomarker through multiple therapy lines.
In this interactive case study, you will prepare for a tumor board discussion that will determine whether your patient is a candidate for biomarker testing and eligible for biomarker-directed therapy.
The ONS Biomarker Database was developed as a clinical decision support (CDS) tool to bring the most recent biomarker advances to the point of care.
Biomarker testing through next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has enabled precision oncology to deliver faster, cheaper, and more accurate tumor data.
Paired somatic and germline testing is simultaneous genomic sequencing of a somatic and germline sample from a patient to inform cancer treatment.
Nurses may need to collect additional information from the laboratory being used for biomarker testing to help educate patients and families and inform nursing practice.
Apply the biomarker testing nursing process to your practice to guide the delivery of genomic care to all patients with cancer.
Biomarker testing through NGS technology has driven precision oncology by delivering faster, cheaper, and more accurate biomarker data.
Nurses should understand how NGS test results influence patient care and education. This sample report highlights the sections of the report that affect your oncology nursing practice.
