NSCLC is one solid tumor where comprehensive genomic profiling can dramatically alter precision-based strategy. Can you give an example where the detection of a rare insertion altered treatment?

As you explained, NSCLC is one solid tumor where comprehensive genomic profiling can dramatically alter a precision-based strategy. Can you provide a patient example where you have observed that the detection of a rare insertion altered the treatment choice?
