A new test will allow patients suspected of lung cancer to be subjected to fewer and less-invasive tests to determine if they have the disease or not.
A genomic biomarker can accurately determine the likelihood of a lung lesion being malignant. The findings are from two large, prospective, multicenter studies called Airway Epithelium Gene Expression in the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer (AEGIS) I and II.
"In the past, these patients have been subjected to invasive tests when traditional bronchoscopy tests prove inconclusive....
