Case description

This animation provides an overview of targeted therapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Targeted therapy is a cancer treatment directed towards specific mutations that drive cancer to grow and spread. Targeted therapy is used for common gene mutations such as EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and BRAF. The patient may qualify for targeted therapy based on the results of biomarker testing. This testing allows doctors to prescribe treatment that is tailored to one's individual cancer.
