Latest Advances in Lung Cancer Research

UCLA researchers received a $6 million grant to refine a liquid biopsy blood test for early, accurate lung cancer detection and treatment guidance.

Researchers developed a test detecting proteins in blood that indicate lung cancer spread, promising for early metastasis detection and treatment guidance.

Rare EGFR exon insertions in lung cancer allow targeted therapies, but resistance develops; new drugs help.

Biomarker testing decisions for lung cancer vary by type of clinician. Fewer community oncology clinicians use biomarker testing.

Liquid biopsy simpler sampling: Liquid biopsies are easier on patients, yield faster results and cost less than tissue biopsies.

Future of liquid biopsy: Analysis of tumours using biomarkers in blood is beginning to transform cancer diagnosis.

Study defines SCLC subtypes. Study provides a transformative new system to define four major groups of small-cell lung cancer.

FDA approves new liquid biopsy tests using NGS to detect tumor DNA, aiding targeted cancer therapy selection.
