Research briefing on improving cancer care through better biomarker testing

On May 27, 2025, leading cancer experts and researchers joined together for a virtual briefing on a groundbreaking national study that highlights major gaps and opportunities in biomarker testing for non-small cell lung cancer across Canada.

The new study, published in JTO Clinical and Research Reports, was developed through the Canadian Pathology Quality Assurance end-to-end quality assurance program. Led by the Advanced Diagnostics team at Osler, the research reveals wide disparities in testing timelines and quality, with real consequences for patient care and equity.
