Summary

This study tested a new DNA-based method (whole-genome methylation sequencing) to help doctors tell if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. Researchers used samples taken during a bronchoscopy from 158 people with small lung nodules. The goal was to see if this genetic test works better than standard pathology for early and accurate diagnosis.
