Foundation Frontiers: A Medical Education Webinar
2024-06-18 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | https://events-na12.adobeconnect.com/content/connect/c1/1295154209/en/events/event/shared/6216195867/event_registration.html?sco-id=6218179566&campaign-id=AHA%20Events%2BEdu&_charset_=utf-8
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), targetable driver alterations include ALK*, RET**, and ROS1*** fusions. DNA-based and RNA-based next-generation sequencing each have advantages and drawbacks for detecting gene fusions. In this webinar, expert speakers will present their perspectives on fusion detection in NSCLC.

Attendees Will Learn:
- Summary of currently approved therapies for fusions in NSCLC.
- Methods and recommendations for fusion detection with comprehensive genomic profiling.
- The pros and cons of DNA and RNA sequencing for fusion detection.
- About fusion detection in the context of a hypothetical patient case.
