DETECTIVE BIO:
Hello! I am detective Bio.
Today, let’s find important clues to help guide your lung cancer treatment.
TEXT ON SCREEN:
UNDERSTANDING LUNG CANCER TREATMENT
DETECTIVE BIO:
A key clue to solving your case is a biomarker.
Then, what is a biomarker?
TEXT ON SCREEN:
Know your biomarker status
What is a biomarker?
DETECTIVE BIO:
Every person has a different fingerprint.
Just as each fingerprint has a different pattern, each person's lung cancer may have a different signature.
These signatures are called biomarkers.
TEXT ON SCREEN:
Biomarkers
Biomarkers reveal different traits of each individual's lung cancer.
DETECTIVE BIO:
Certain lung cancer biomarkers may help doctors to better understand a patient’s specific type of cancer and to better determine their appropriate treatment options.
TEXT ON SCREEN:
Treatment Options
Surgery | Targeted Therapy | Immunotherapy | Chemotherapy | Radiation
Treatment options will depend on your type and stage of lung cancer. Talk to your doctor about which treatment options may be right for you.
DETECTIVE BIO:
Biomarkers sometimes emerge from mutations in DNA.

EGFR* mutation detected
*EGFR = Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
DETECTIVE BIO:
Genetic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR gene -- among various biomarkers -- can drive your lung cancer to grow and spread.
EGFR mutations are a type of biomarkers that are common in patients with lung cancer from Asia.
Approximately 45% of Asian non-small cell lung cancer patients test positive for an EGFR biomarker.
TEXT ON SCREEN:
Asian Lung Cancer Patients
Approximately 45% of Asian non-small cell lung cancer patients have an EGFR biomarker.
*Percentages are for the most common type of NSCLC called adenocarcinoma.
DETECTIVE BIO:
If an EGFR biomarker is found in your lung cancer through biomarker testing, you and your doctor may discuss a treatment plan that specifically targets it.
TEXT ON SCREEN:
Blood Test*
Tissue Test
*Used to determine biomarkers in stage 4 lung cancer.
Biomarker testing can help your doctor determine your treatment options.
DETECTIVE BIO:
That’s why biomarker testing is a key step in your complete diagnosis.
If you are diagnosed with lung cancer, make sure to ask your doctor about biomarker testing. It’s okay to ask.
TEXT ON SCREEN:
Ask your doctor about biomarker testing.
It’s okay to ask.
