Panelists discuss how collaboration between pathologists, oncologists, and pulmonologists is essential for timely next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing in early-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), emphasizing that molecular testing should ideally be ordered at diagnosis with prioritization of EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, MET, KRAS, RET, and NTRK biomarkers to guide treatment decisions before surgical intervention.
