Abstrakt: The article discusses the potential of using noninvasive blood-based assays, specifically circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), for the early detection of lung cancer. Topics discussed include the limitations of current screening methods, such as low-dose computed tomographic (LDCT) screening, the use of cfDNA, specifically circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), as a potential alternative.
