Slide 2: Introduction
2 Introduction Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide The discovery of EGFR mutations and development of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) has a major improved clinical benefit over platinum-based therapies. Historically, tissue biopsies are used for assessing the b

Slide 7: Summary
7 Summary The Switch BlockerTM technology is a highly sensitive method that allows for the detection of mutations in specimens which are deemed QNS for NGS based assays. This could lead to the ability to detect mutational changes in actionable biomarkers in patients that would otherwise not be c
