Abstract
Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Many studies show lung cancer is a histologically and molecularly heterogeneous group, even within the same histological subtype. Liquid biopsies are a new tool that can identify targetable genomic mutations and impact management. JAK2 p.V617F is a mutation commonly found in myeloproliferative neoplasms but rarely identified in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLCs). The significance of Janus Kinase (JAK2) mutation in lung cancer is not clearly understood. However, it is thought that it may have a role in treating solid tumors, such as lung cancer. We present two cases of patients diagnosed with NSCLC who were discovered to have JAK2 V617F mutation on liquid biopsy.
