Joining Other Precision Medicine Stakeholders to Develop United Language for Testing

June 11, 2020 by Elissa Quinn, Associate Director, Precision Medicine

With more biomarker-targeted therapies becoming available, patient advocacy groups have increasingly talked about the challenge of confusing terminology for cancer testing. In March 2019, my colleague Philina Lee and I participated in a LUNGevity roundtable where industry partners and advocates...
