For patients with disease expressing high PD-L1 levels, most oncologists preferred pembrolizumab<span> monotherapy<span>. For disease with low PD-L1 expression, a platinum doublet chemotherapy regimen<span> combined with pembrolizumab<span><span> was favored. In disease cases with negative PD-L1 expression, a platinum doublet chemotherapy regimen with pembrolizumab was preferred. Key factors influencing oncologists' preferred </span>immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) included experience with one ICI over another, preferred status per national guidelines, availability of trial data with a significant follow-up period, and consideration of drug cost.</span></span></span></span></span></div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Although this study demonstrates an improved awareness and adoption of ordering NGS for the management of mNSCLC, it underscores the persistence of various barriers that must be addressed to improve upon the quality of care for patients diagnosed with mNSCLC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10490,"journal":{"name":"Clinical lung cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141062652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
