Metagenomic Analysis of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Enables Differential Diagnosis Between Lung Cancer and Pulmonary Infections
2024-02-09
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Recent advances in unbiased metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) have enabled the simultaneous examination of both microbial and host genetic material in a single test. This study harnesses cost-effective bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) mNGS data from patients with lung cancer (n=123) and pulmonary infections (n=279). We developed a machine learning-based diagnostic approac...
