Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Improve knowledge and confidence of the evolving role of liquid biopsy to support identifying tumor mutations and aid the implementation precision medicine
- Discuss the advantages and limitations of liquid biopsy (circulating plasma/tumor DNA, circulating tumor cells) vs. tissue sampling in NSCLC
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, pathologists, and other healthcare professionals that manage patients with NSCLC.
