- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Overall survival 1 year survival between individuals with stage IIb-IV NSCLC who receive MTB assisted care to those who receive usual care.
- Change in quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: At enrollment, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks. ]Quality of life will be assessed via the FACT-L (The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung). FACT-L has 5 areas of measurement: physical wellbeing, social/family wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, functional wellbeing, and an additional concerns list of problems specific to lung cancer. Areas are measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale of 0-4. The FACT-L subscales can be scored to yield a total score, subscale scores, as well as the Trial Outcome Index (TOI), which reflects the physical wellbeing, functional wellbeing, and lung cancer symptom subscales. TOI scores range from 0-84, with a higher score reflecting better QOL. Total FACT-G scores (physical, social, emotional, and functional wellbeing subscales) range from 0-108, with higher scores reflecting better QOL. The lung cancer subscale (i.e., additional concerns subscale) can range from 0-28 (only 7 items are scored), with higher scores reflecting better QOL.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Comparison of overall survival between individuals with stage IIb-IV NSCLC who receive MTB assisted care to those who receive usual care
- Change in guideline concordant care [ Time Frame: 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year ]Comparison of guideline concordant care (specifically receiving next generation sequencing (NGS) testing and treatments based on identified mutations) between individuals with stage IIb-IV NSCLC who receive MTB assisted care to those who receive usual care.
- Change in satisfaction with treatment [ Time Frame: At enrollment, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks. ]To compare satisfaction with treatment between individuals with stage IIb-IV NSCLC who receive MTB assisted care to those who receive usual care, including financial, psychosocial, and physical measures of satisfaction using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) - Treatment Satisfaction - General (TSG) (version 4). The FACIT-TSG is an 8-item questionnaire, with each item score ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("very much"). Total scores range from 0 to 32 with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with treatment.
- Association of ctDNA variant allele frequency [ Time Frame: 1 year ]To determine the association of ctDNA variant allele frequency with 1 year overall survival
