Abstract
Delays in initiation of treatment for advanced cancers are associated with poorer outcomes. In advanced NSCLC, one factor impacting time of treatment initiation is next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing. In our hospital system, Northwestern Medicine, the standard for NGS testing at Northwestern Memorial, the 894-bed academic hospital, is in-house reflex testing on all histologies and stages for a 50-gene panel of mutations and fusions. At affiliate hospitals, there is no set protocol so testing is sent to private vendors.
