Demonstrate feasibility of detection of EML4-ALK fusion transcripts and T790M EGFR mutation from exosomes in the circulation of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLS) patients.
Description: Patients found to be positive for ALK mutation by tissue assay. ALK fusions in samples will be considered binary - positive or negative/ not assessable. 2x2 table will be constructed to determine concordance with tissue testing.
Measure: ALK mutation by tissue assay. Time: Two yearsDescription: Patients found to be positive for T790M EGFR mutation by tissue assay. ALK fusions in samples will be considered binary - positive or negative/ not assessable. 2x2 table will be constructed to determine concordance with tissue testing.
Measure: T790M EGFR mutation by tissue assay Time: Two yearsCohort
