Fighting to beat lung cancer: Bobbi’s Story of Hope

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer. While tobacco smoking is the primary cause of lung cancer, it can also occur in non-smokers, such as Bobbi. This video gives a brief insight into her experience in being diagnosed with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Today patients diagnosed with NSCLC are routinely tested for genetic mutations to see if they may benefit from advanced and effective targeted therapies. One of the most recent advances in testing for genetic mutations such as the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations is with the use of liquid biopsy. Bobbi got to experience a liquid biopsy test which is a simple and non-invasive alternative to the more common surgical biopsies. Her story is one of inspiration and hope.
