lung cancer.
DENVER — Three manuscripts published in the recent issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, the official journal of the International Association
for the Study of
Lung Cancer (IASLC), explored the versatility of liquid biopsies by identifying EGFR mutations using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in urine and plasma and examining circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in plasma to predict the risk of lung cancer recurrence after surgical resect
