Virginia Cancer Specialists is pleased to share a new episode of OncoTalks featuring our own Dr. Alexander I. Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, FASCO—Co-Director of the Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute and Director of the Thoracic and Phase I Program. In this episode, host Dr. Ira Zackon joins Dr. Spira for an in-depth discussion on the importance of comprehensive biomarker testing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The conversation highlights key findings from a recent study showing variability in biomarker testing practices and underscores the value of comprehensive DNA- and RNA-based next-generation sequencing over single-gene testing. Viewers will also hear a review of current clinical guidelines, learn how biomarker testing impacts treatment sequencing, and gain insights into how community oncology practices can overcome barriers to ensure all NSCLC patients receive guideline-concordant testing and treatment.
