Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Multiple lung cancers may present as multiple primary lung cancers (MPLC) or intrapulmonary metastasis (IPM) with variations in clinical stage, treatment, and prognosis. However, the existing differentiation criteria based on histology do not fully meet the clinical needs. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) may play an important role in assisting the identification of different pathologies. Here, we...
