Program Description
Pharmacists play a critical role in the clinical integration of biomarker testing and pharmacogenomics to advance personalized treatments. This multidisciplinary panel discussion is designed to translate knowledge and evidence into actionable solutions for real-world practice. Experts will debate and discuss common barriers to optimal biomarker testing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), from guideline updates to the specific challenges presented by different NSCLC subtypes. The panel will then highlight examples of interventions that could be implemented to improve testing practices and patient outcomes, ranging from standardized recommendations for testing and the development of precision medicine services involving oncology pharmacists. Finally, the panelists will share best practices and institutional tools that have optimized biomarker testing workflows as well as best practices for clinical review processes to ensure timely and accurate information to guide treatment selection. Through a discussion of their own successes, the panelists will offer practical insights and recommendations for implementing quality improvement and process changes that other institutions can adapt to overcome barriers and enhance the delivery of precision care in NSCLC.
