HistoCyte – Lung Cancer controls
Gaining over 15,000 cases this 2024 and leading with the lowest survival rate for cancer types, lung cancer has been in the forefront of cancer cases in Australia. Biomarkers such ALK, ROS1, PD-L1, and BRAF are used in IHC and molecular laboratory techniques to identify specific types of lung cancer and guide targeted therapy.
