Blood holds key to personalizing lung cancer fight

NCT ID NCT02630615

Summary

This study aims to see if cancer cells found in the blood (circulating tumor cells) can help doctors choose the right treatment for people with advanced lung cancer. Researchers will collect blood samples from 80 participants to grow these cells in the lab and test how they respond to new drugs. The goal is to learn if tracking these cells can predict how well a treatment is working and if the cancer is coming back.
