Abstract
Advances in lung cancer genomics have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of this heterogeneous and clinically significant group of tumors. This article provides a broad overview of the most clinically relevant oncogenic alterations in common and rare lung tumors, with an emphasis on the pathologic correlates of the major oncogenic drivers, including EGFR, KRAS, ALK, and MET. Illustrations emphasize the morphologic diversity of lung adenocarcinoma, including genotype-phenotype correlations of genomic evolution in tumorigenesis. Molecular diagnostic approaches, including PCR-based testing, massively parallel sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry are reviewed.
