“…In India, the prevalence of the two commonest oncogenic driver alterations, namely, EGFR mutations[ 2 , 84 86 ] is approximately 25.3%–30% and of ALK rearrangements[ 2 , 85 ] is approximately 10%–11.5%, and 33.6% have PD-L1 expression. [ 87 ] The national guidelines also recommend testing for EGFR , ALK , ROS1 rearrangements, and PD-L1 overexpression for all patients with NSCLC in the frontline to provide improved treatment opportunities, including targeted therapy.…”

“…Notably, because of the high prevalence of EGFR mutations and ALK/ROS1 rearrangements and gradually improving access to novel TKIs in the country at considerably lower costs, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has launched a nationwide Advanced Molecular Oncology Diagnostic Services project to provide biomarker testing for LC free of cost throughout the country. [ 85 ]…”

“…For example, India has radiotherapy equipment to serve only half of its current population. 28 Furthermore, only bigger cities within each country have established radiotherapy centers, making it difficult for the rural population to use them. Additionally, patients have a high wait time to receive RT due to limited availability.…”

“…But this past decade has seen a shift in the incidence from tobacco dependent lung cancer to tobacco-independent lung cancers, making adenocarcinoma the dominant histologic type. 6 This shift could be a result of the decrease in prevalence of tobacco use by about 81 lakhs from global adult tobacco survey-1 (2009-10) to global adult tobacco survey-2 (2016-17) in India, and improvements in histologic typing subtype analysis for molecular mutations such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), BRAF, MET, ERBB2, & fusion markers such as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), ROS-1, RET, NTRK rearrangements. 7 The rising number of accredited facilities for gene sequencing have considerably made the testing faster, cheaper, and more frequent leading to an increasing need for newer modalities that provide specific treatment.…”

“…ICMR has also launched a national DHR-ICMR advanced molecular oncology diagnostic services project to provide for free of cost biomarker testing of lung cancer throughout India. 6 All these factors have led to an increase in the randomised control trials being conducted for non-small cell lung cancer. Hence, we aimed to analyse those registered on clinical trial registry of India.…”
