5. Biopsy: Establish Diagnosis, Determine Histologic
Subtype, Biomarker Testing
Histologic subtyping:
squamous or nonsquamous?[1]
For biomarker testing:
‒ Primary tumors and metastatic lesions
equally suitable[2]
‒ Bone biopsy suboptimal due to
decalcification and degradation of DNA[2]
‒ Liquid biopsies (cell-free DNA in plasma)
when tissue not available[3]
Testing for PD-L1 expression indicated in
all NSCLC[4]
Testing for EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF V600E
indicated in all nonsquamous NSCLC[4]
‒ Broad NGS testing encouraged to detect a
wider range of mutations (eg, NTRK) using
least amount of tissue[4,5]
‒ For squamous NSCLC, consider testing in
young, never or light smokers, or if biopsy
specimen is small or of mixed histology[2]
Completion of testing within 10-14 working
days of biopsy recommended[4,6]
‒ TAT for PD-L1 much shorter than for NGS
‒ Wait for results of NGS results before acting
on PD-L1 testing results!

7. Comparison of Alternative Molecular Testing
Approaches
Single Gene Testing Multigene Testing (eg, by NGS)
Advantages Routine in practice
Potential local implementation
Minimizes use of tumor tissue
Facilitates testing of multiple biomarkers,
including emerging biomarkers for clinical trial
enrollment
Easy—just need to know to test vs which
biomarkers to test for
More cost-effective than sequential testing
Limitations Tumor tissue samples often
inadequate for multiple
necessary tests
May lead to repeat biopsy
Multiple platforms available using different
methodology that affect types of alterations
detected (eg, amplicon-based NGS does not
detect gene fusions/rearrangements)
Analysis of complex biomarker reports
Preauthorization requirements
May not be easily accessible in community
practice

8. Liquid Biopsy
What is liquid biopsy?
‒ Blood sample containing cell-free DNA
from multiple sources, including DNA
shed from tumor
When do we use liquid biopsy?
‒ Molecular testing is needed but amount
of available biopsy tissue is inadequate or
tissue biopsy not possible
‒ Resistance to TKIs
Advantages
‒ Minimally invasive
‒ May overcome tumor heterogenicity
Limitations
‒ Sensitivity: 70%-80%; specificity: near 100%
‒ Negative result is noninformative

9. Current Paradigm for Immunotherapy in Advanced
NSCLC Without an Actionable Mutation
For PD-L1 low (1%-49%) or
negative (< 1%), SoC is
combination ICI + CT
For ≥ 50% PD-L1, choice of
single-agent ICI or ICI + CT
‒ Single-agent ICI approved for
≥ 1% PD-L1 but not broadly
recommended by experts
Nivolumab/ipilimumab is under
priority FDA review for first-line
treatment of advanced NSCLC

Options: IHC, RNA or DNA NGS, FISH,

‒ Advantages/disadvantages with each
‒ RNA NGS most sensitive
‒ IHC widely available; fast TAT
Choice of assay will depend on
institution, resources, clinical context
‒ Reflexing to NGS vs IHC reasonable for
NSCLC due to low prevalence of NTRK
fusions
Important to qualify negative results:
limitations of sample or testing

56. Immune-Related Adverse Events
Majority of irAEs are mild to moderate
Severity can be asymptomatic to life
threatening; prompt recognition is
crucial
Onset is variable; can occur after
cessation of therapy
Most reversible with steroids; some
require discontinuation of therapy
Important to educate care team,
patient, and caregivers on signs and
symptoms of irAEs
Uveitis
Pneumonitis
Thyroiditis
Hypo/hyperthyroidism
Hepatitis
Rash and
vitiligo
Pancreatitis
Autoimmune diabetes
Adrenal
