| Guide for use: | Each code represents a HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) assigned unique gene symbol. The full name, location and additional information about each gene can be obtained from their online database at www.genenames.org. Record the code for each genetic or molecular abnormality detected. Molecular pathology testing is usually performed for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and when the result may influence treatment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Guide for use: | Record the results of a molecular pathology test for genetic and molecular abnormalities in a person with cancer. This item should be completed when the data element Molecular pathology indicator is coded as 1, denoting that molecular testing has been performed. Molecular testing is usually performed when the result may influence treatment. For example, somatic mutations in the EGFR gene are associated with favourable outcomes from treatment with gefitinib. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Collection methods: | This information should be sought from the patient's pathology report. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Comments: | The presence of genetic or molecular abnormalities may be of clinical significance and influence treatment decisions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
