Rasha Aboelhassan: Why should we test NGS for all lung cancer patients as early as possible
shared a post on LinkedIn:
“For decades, advance lung cancer was known as a lethal disease, a few years ago NGS changed this bad reputation, by highliting the subtype of lung cancer and later, researchers can define the target therapy for each lug cancer subtype.
This research do not only describe the different survival outcomes between patients with known mutation and unknown mutation, investigator also highlighted that patients with known mutation but did not have chance for targeted therapy had a different bad outcomes.
In this research, there is also new data about: why should we test NGS for all lung cancer patients as early as possible.
Survival outcomes are significantly better for patients who know their results earlier and had their targeted therapy earlier.
Thanks to all investigators who worked on this publication in International Journal of Molecular Sciences MDPI.”
