Combined multimodal ctDNA analysis and radiological imaging for tumor surveillance in Non-small cell lung cancer
Background: Radiology is the current standard for monitoring treatment responses in lung cancer. Limited sensitivity, exposure to ionizing radiations and related sequelae constitute some of its major limitation. Non-invasive and highly sensitive methods for early detection of treatment failures and...
