Lung wash may replace painful biopsies for cancer gene tests
NCT ID NCT07188480
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 36 times
Summary
This study looks at whether genetic material from lung cancer cells can be collected from a lung wash (bronchoalveolar lavage) instead of a traditional needle biopsy. Researchers will compare the genetic test results from the wash fluid to those from standard biopsy samples in 10 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. If successful, this less invasive method could make genetic testing easier and more accessible for guiding targeted therapies.
