Summary
This study is testing whether a simple blood test, called a liquid biopsy, can help doctors decide on treatment for advanced lung cancer faster than the current standard method, which requires testing a piece of the tumor. Researchers will compare how long it takes to get results from the blood test versus the tissue test in 170 patients. The goal is to see if using the blood test upfront can get patients started on the right treatment sooner.
