Summary

This study looked at whether adding a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to the usual tissue biopsy can help find more EGFR gene mutations in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Over 500 patients were tested using both methods. The goal was to see if the combination approach improves detection rates, which could help doctors choose better treatments.
