The use of biomarker testing and targeted therapies has become a standard of care for NSCLC. However, not all patients benefit equally from these advances and there remain notable racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities related to access and utilization of these advancements in care.1 There is a need for improved strategies to address disparities and barriers related to access and use of guideline-indicated biomarker testing and targeted therapy in order to improve cancer-related outcomes in these patient populations.
