WHO 2015
• Personalized medicine • Therapeutic decisions based on specific
histologic and genetic characteristics of tumor • Pathologists to classify NSCLC into specific
pathologic subtypes – adenocarcinoma versus squamous cell
carcinoma) • Eligibility for molecular testing and
consequent therapeutic strategies.

Molecular Testing in Lung Cancer
• Identification of molecular abnormalities in tumor specimens is required for therapy
• Limit the use of diagnostic immunohistochemical markers
• Pathology should determine the adequacy of specimens for molecular testing

Oncogene Addiction
• Tumor cells have many genetic abnormalities
• Driver mutations determines tumor cell survival
• Inactivation of upregulated oncogenic pathways
results in cancer cell death

Immunohistochemistry & ALK (Mino-Kenudson et al, CCR 2010)
• With the D5F3 clone high rates of sensitivity and specificity can be achieved (in experienced hands?)
• IHC remains a preferred technique for screening and diagnosis in
routine surgical pathology practice
• IHC-based screening can be used to identify lung adk harboring ALK
rearrangements

Abstract: With the development of new sensitive molecular techniques, circulating cell-free tumour DNA containing mutations can be identified in the plasma of cancer patients. The applications of this technology may result in significant changes to the care and management of cancer patients. Whilst, currently, these “liquid biopsies” are used to supplement the histological diagnosis of cancer and metastatic disease, in the future these assays may replace the need for invasive procedures. Applications include the monitoring of tumour burden, the monitoring of minimal residual disease, monitoring of tumour heterogeneity, monitoring of molecular resistance and early diagnosis of tumours and metastatic disease.
Keywords: cell-free DNA; cell-free tumour DNA; non-small cell lung cancer; melanoma; colorectal carcinoma; minimal residual disease; liquid biopsy
1. Introduction
A biomarker is a chemical or biological compound that can be used to diagnose or monitor disease. For cancer, the aims of a sensitive biomarker are to enable early detection of cancer, monitoring of disease progression and response to treatment. Biomarkers can be broadly grouped into predictive

Conclusions
• Multiprofessional approch
• Morphology still very important
• Molecular tools predict response and
resistance to targeted therapies
• IHC good surrogate for molecular
analysis of ALK/ROS1
• NGS approches
