A collection of material about the ALCHEMIST lung cancer trials that will examine tumor tissue from patients with certain types of early-stage, completely resected non-small cell lung cancer for gene mutations in the EGFR and ALK genes, and assign patients with these gene mutations to treatment trials testing post-surgical use of drugs targeted against these mutations.

In this precision medicine clinical trial, children and adolescents with advanced cancers whose tumors have certain genetic mutations will be treated with drugs that are matched to those mutations.

The prevention of cancer and the development of more effective strategies to detect cancer precursors and early stage cancers, when treatment may be most effective, remain critical goals.
