![]() Skill gaps were reported when selecting genomic biomarker tests to diagnose TC in Japan (79%), the UK (73%) and US (57%) and when performing specific biomarker tests, especially in Japan (82% for RET) and in the UK (75% for RET). Knowledge gaps were reported regarding genomic testing for LC/TC in Japan (79/60%), the UK (73/66%), and the US (53/30%). ResultsĪ total of 107 pathologists took part in this study. Qualitative data was thematically analysed, quantitative data was analysed with chi-square and Kruskal–Wallis H-tests, and both were triangulated. ![]() Pathologists in Germany, Japan, the UK, and US participated in this ethics-approved mixed-methods study, which included interviews and surveys (data collected January-March 2020). This study aimed to assess practice gaps and challenges experienced by pathologists involved in the diagnosis of RET-altered LC/TC, including biomarker testing, to inform educational solutions. ![]() Variations in health systems and treatment access result in distinct clinical challenges and barriers. The introduction of new targeted therapies for RET-altered lung and thyroid cancers (LC/TC) has impacted pathologists’ practice by making genomic testing more relevant. ![]()
