Could a simple blood test spot lung cancer sooner?

NCT ID NCT03992183

Summary

This study tested whether a new blood test could help doctors better detect early lung cancer in people with suspicious spots (nodules) on their lungs. Researchers wanted to see if special cells in the blood, called CAMLs, could predict whether a lung nodule was cancerous. The trial enrolled 200 people with lung nodules and was terminated before completion.
