Pathology Issues in Thoracic Oncology: Histologic Characterization and Tissue/Plasma Genotyping May Resolve Diagnostic Dilemmas.
Lung cancer is a heterogeneous diagnosis that encompasses a spectrum of histologic and molecular subgroups. A paradigm shift favoring selection of treatment based on histologic and molecular makeup has positively affected prognosis for patients with metastatic lung cancer, with select patients experiencing durable responses to treatment. However, prognosis remains poor for the majority of patients. Furthermore, oncologists are increasingly faced with challenging dilemmas related to histopathologic and molecular characterization of tumors, both at diagnosis and during treatment. In this review, we focus on three particular challenges: (1) management of mixed histology tumors, a particularly aggressive group of lung cancers, (2) distinguishing multiple primary lung tumors from intrapulmonary metastases, and (3) incorporation of liquid biopsies into the diagnostic algorithm and subsequent follow-up of patients with advanced lung cancer. This review will summarize the existing literature and highlight the potential for molecular genotyping to help refine approaches to each of these challenges.
