Discrimination Between Primary Lung Cancer and Lung Metastases by Genomic Profiling
Introduction: In cases of lung tumors that occur after treatment for malignancies in other organs, the tumor may represent either a primary lung cancer or a solitary pulmonary metastasis from the other tumor. Because some lung tumors are difficult to differentiate on the basis of imaging and patholo...
