Abstract: Two major treatment strategies employed in fighting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The choice of strategy is based on heterogeneous biomarkers expressed by the lung tumor tissue. A major challenge for molecular testing of these biomarkers is the insufficiency of biopsy specimens from patients with advanced NSCLC. Disclosed herein is a method for predicting a response to immune-checkpoint blockade immunotherapy.
