Lung wash could replace painful biopsies for cancer testing

NCT ID NCT07188480

Summary

This study is testing whether genetic information for advanced non-small cell lung cancer can be reliably obtained from a simple lung wash procedure instead of an invasive tissue biopsy. Researchers will collect fluid from a routine bronchoscopy and analyze tiny particles called extracellular vesicles for cancer DNA. The goal is to see if this less invasive method can accurately identify genetic mutations to guide treatment, potentially avoiding repeated biopsies.
