Summary

This study aimed to see if special cells in the blood, called CAMLs, can help detect early-stage lung cancer in people with lung nodules. Researchers planned to study blood samples from 200 adults with lung nodules that had not yet been biopsied. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
