Micro-cost Analysis of Rearrangement Testing by FISH to Determine Eligibility for Crizotinib Therapy in NSCLC: Implications for Cost Effectiveness of Testing and Treatment
Break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the gold standard test for anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK ) gene rearrangement. However, this methodology often is assumed to be expensive and potentially cost-prohibitive given the low prevalence of ALK -positive non-small cell lung cancer...
