A new blood test is able to correctly predict non-small-cell in patients years before any CT scan can detect it, say researchers from the University of Kentucky, USA. The test identifies human immune response to tumors. Non-small-cell lung cancer patients have a 40% chance of living for ...
The blood typically contains very few CTCs, so one of the challenges has been to separate them from ordinary blood cells. The new technique involves taking blood from lung cancer patients and then attaching antibodies to circulating tumor cells. Once the cancer cells are labeled, the team introdu...
The test is particularly useful in cases of a subtype of lung cancer called thenon-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) type adenocarcinoma.The blood test is based on a simple principle: the cancer cells release a specific mutated deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA (genetic material) into the blood; this ...
Testing for the presence of specific cancer protein 'fingerprints' in the blood of lung cancer patients may be a useful means of identifying a subgroup whose tumors are more likely to shrink when treated with the drug erlotinib, especially when other testing meth...
JERUSALEM, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Israeli researchers have found a method for detecting lung cancer risk by examining the patient's DNA using a simple blood test, the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) said Sunday. In a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute-Cancer ...
Guardant360 test detects DNA segments in the patient's blood, originated from the cancerous tumor or its metastasis. After examining 116 advanced stage non-small-cell lung carcinoma cancer patients, the study concluded that 65 percent of the patients had a genetic modification that could be treate...
A blood test based on a 4-marker protein panel, combined with a personalized lung cancer risk assessment, more accurately determines who is likely to benefit from lung cancer screening than the current 2021 and 2013 US Preventive Service... K O'Rourke - 《Cancer》 被引量: 0发表: 2022年 ...

"This is coming, and it's coming fast," said Dr. David Gandara, a lung specialist at the University of California, Davis, who had no role in the studies but consults for two companies developing liquid biopsies. A test that could spare many people unnecessary treatment "would be huge,"...
The use of low-dose CT (LDCT) as a screening tool for lung cancer hasbeen criticizedfor its high cost and its feasibility, given the large number of long-time heavy smokers and ex-smokers and the complexity of the process. What if a less expensive and more easily administered test could...
