Summary

This large study in Ohio is looking at whether advanced genomic testing and immunotherapy decision support can help people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer live longer and have a better quality of life. Researchers will compare standard care with a more personalized approach that uses tumor and blood samples to guide treatment. The study also includes support for smoking cessation and tracks costs to see if the approach is worth it.
