A study found that patients with distant recurrent metastatic non-small cell lung cancer had significantly better overall survival than those with de novo stage IV disease. These results may help inform clinical trial designs to ensure balanced baseline characteristics.
A lung cancer screening test examining small noncoding RNAs has demonstrated the ability to identify lung cancer using whole blood collected in the clinical setting, making it a potential alternative to low-dose computed tomography.
Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy may be limited in use and accessibility. These researchers analyzed the potential barriers, including socioeconomic status, geographical location, and insurance status.
