Summary

This study tested a new method called whole-genome methylation sequencing (GM-seq) to improve how doctors tell if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. Researchers collected small tissue samples from 158 people during bronchoscopy and compared the new DNA-based test with standard pathology. The goal was to see if GM-seq could more accurately diagnose malignant nodules, using surgical results as the final answer.
