New study aims to combine imaging and genetics for smarter lung cancer care
NCT ID NCT05541744
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether combining PET scan images with genetic testing can better predict how well non-small cell lung cancer patients will respond to treatment and how long they might survive. Researchers will analyze scans and tumor samples from 120 adults. The goal is to create a more reliable tool for personalizing lung cancer care.
What this could mean
