Sponsored by Genentech. When Nikki was diagnosed with lung cancer, her doctor ordered biomarker testing but that’s not always the case. This is why we’re collaborating on this “Ask About ALK” campaign with Genentech and members of our community. The aim is to help increase biomarker testing awareness and equip our patient community with the info needed to ask about ALK and other biomarkers in conversations with healthcare teams.
