Why Biomarker Testing is So Important for Lung Cancer Patients

  • 🔬 Lung cancer isn’t one-size-fits-all — different mutations mean different treatments.

  • 🧬 Biomarker testing checks for specific genetic changes like EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and more.

  • 💊 If a mutation is found, you may qualify for targeted therapy — often more effective and with fewer side effects than chemo.

  • 🛡️ It can also show if immunotherapy is likely to work.

  • 🧪 Opens the door to clinical trials with cutting-edge treatments.

  • 🎯 Helps your doctor personalize your treatment plan — so it’s right for you.

  • 🩺 Ask your oncologist: “Have I had full biomarker testing yet?”
