Expert Video - How can the results of CGP using NGS help guide lung cancer treatment decisions?
Dr. Leventakos, a medical oncologist specialized in lung cancer, discusses how the results of CGP help guide lung cancer treatment decisions made by your doctor. He explains that because every lung cancer and every lung cancer patient is different, the treatment options will vary. He discusses that the results of biomarker testing through CGP help inform doctors about the unique characteristics of your lung cancer and the optimal treatment that should be recommended to you based on those results. Whether you have early- or late-stage lung cancer, are expecting to have or have had surgery, or if you have already completed chemo or radiation therapy, having access to CGP results can ultimately help doctors recommend the best treatment for you.
