Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer

Cerba Research conducted many lung cancer trials in the past 5 years alone. The lab’s expertise extends to the utilization of next-generation sequencing (NGS) broad-panel assays, alongside circulation tumor DNA (ctDNA) panels, 250+ immunohistochemistry (IHC) biomarkers, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and more.

What Is Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is a devastating disease for patients and families, and is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, more than breast and prostate cancer combined (1). The two main lung cantypes are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC 80-85%), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC 15%), a more aggressive cancer when compared to NSCLC (2,3) .


Lung cancer is complexified by various histopathology (e.g. adenocarcinoma, squamous, large cell, and more) and numerous clinically meaningful biomarkers that need to be assessed to provide the best treatment or select the right trial for patients (e.g. EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and more) (4). Not to worry as at Cerba research, we got you covered with a wide range of histopathology and clinically meaningful biomarker offerings that can be detected with cutting-edge technics.

Cerba Research Lung Cancer Services

Our lung cancer specialists support the whole range of lung studies from discovery / preclinical (data not shown) to phase III registration trials and beyond. Most of our projects include specialty testing, such as, but not limited to, NGS broad-panel assays, ctDNA panels, 250+ IHC simplex and multiplex protocols, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and even NanoString®.
