Less common genomic alterations such as gene fusions represent actionable and important therapeutic targets in a substantial proportion of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although they are relatively rare, it is essential to conduct appropriate biomarker testing to identify these alterations because highly effective targeted therapies have become available that can significantly improve patient outcomes versus older targeted therapies or cytotoxic agents. RET fusion–positive NSCLC is one such example. Next-generation, more selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have demonstrated remarkable efficacy and improved safety in patients with tumors exhibiting RET fusions. However, testing for these fusions and other less common alterations as well as interpreting reports of testing results can be challenging, which can lead to missed opportunities to offer the be
