Enhanced detection of actionable mutations in NSCLC through pleural effusion cell-free DNA sequencing: A prospective study
7 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inadequate tumour samples often hinder molecular testing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Plasma-based cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing has shown promise in bypassing these tissue limitations. Nevertheless, pleural effusion (PE) samples may offer a richer cfDNA source for mutation detection in patients with malignant PE. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled newly diagnosed advanced NSCLC...
