Determination and Validation of Lung EpiCheck®: A Multianalyte Assay for Lung Cancer Prediction

Date Added
June 14th, 2021
PRO Number
Pro00109559
Researcher
Gerard Silvestri

List of Studies


Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Lung, Lung
Summary

This study aims to create a test that will detect changes in the genes found in the patient's blood very soon after he/she develops lung cancer. Detecting lung cancer at an early stage can significantly reduce the chance that the patient will die from lung cancer. This test is expected to perform better than any other tests that are currently available.
