- Abstract
The authors comment on a study published in this issue of the journal which examined the use of genetic tests in detecting oncogenic driver mutations in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Particular focus is given to the primary limitation of testing for oncogenic drivers. According to the authors, there is a need for further study on targeted therapies in lung adenocarcinoma. The need for a fundamental shift in conducting clinical trials with lung cancer patients is also emphasized.
