Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A non-small cell lung carcinoma without evidence of squamous differentiation. [1]

Non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, KRAS, EGFR, STK11, and CDKN2A [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, KRAS Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and KRAS Exon 2 Mutation are the most common alterations in non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma [2].
