Cancer – Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancers. The National Institutes of Health estimated that cancer care cost the US $208.9 billion in 2020, $23.8 billion of which was due to lung cancer.

Hear from a panel of experts discussing bridging the gaps in precision oncology: opportunities in non-small cell lung cancer

The lack of implementation of predictive biomarkers in clinical practice results in a significant number of individuals with NSCLC not deriving benefits from targeted treatments. Payers have the potential to shape various aspects of the precision oncology pathway, such as addressing biomarker test ordering, utilizing test results to inform treatment decisions, implementing quality measurements, and understanding cost-effectiveness.
