view bio and disclosures 1/4 Next ChapterHow is HER2 dysregulated and what is its clinical relevance in patients with NSCLC?
The panel share their knowledge of the dysregulation of HER2 in patients with NSCLC (as compared with other solid tumours) and perspectives on the clinical relevance in terms of clinical outcomes.
view bio and disclosures 2/4 Next ChapterWhat are the current challenges in treating patients with HER2-mutant NSCLC?
The panel consider whether guideline recommendations for patients with advanced NSCLC should be updated to include genetic testing for HER2 mutations and, if so, how and at what stage.
