++: Highest sensitivity.

0: Not useful.

EGFR: epidermal growth factor receptor; HER2: human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; ALK: anaplastic lymphoma kinase; PCR: polymerase chain reaction; PD-L1: programmed cell death-ligand 1; NTRK: neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase; NRG1: neuregulin 1; FISH: fluorescence in situ hybridization; IHC: immunohistochemistry; NGS: next generation sequencing; ctDNA: circulating tumor DNA.
* FISH is highly sensitive but not recommended due to low yield and no approved targeted therapy.
