Evaluation of Clinical Validity and Clinical Utility of Actionable Molecular Diagnostic Tests in Adult Oncology

While molecular diagnostics offer tremendous promise for improving health and offsetting costs in the oncology setting, the benefits and harms of testing are often not well known in terms that are meaningful to stakeholders. This EGD serves to close the gap between the presumed benefits of tests undergoing technology assessments and the information needs of payers, clinicians and patients. We provide specific recommendations for designing studies to evaluate the clinical validity and utility of “actionable” MDx tests, meaning those tests intended to guide clinical decision-making for patients with a known diagnosis of cancer.
