Brief Title: Liquid Biopsy for Early Non-small Lung Cancer Detection
Official Title: Liquid Biopsy to Distinguish Malignant From Benign Pulmonary Nodules and to Monitor Response to Therapy
Study ID: NCT05462795
Brief Summary: This clinical trial will assess the performance of a liquid biopsy assay to identify cancer in indeterminant pulmonary nodules identified by CT screening of high-risk individuals and evaluate the capability of the liquid biopsy assay to monitor response to surgical resection.
Detailed Description: This clinical study examines the feasibility of a liquid biopsy methylation assay to detect non-small lung cancer. First, the investigators will apply their liquid biopsy assay to screen for lung cancer in indeterminate pulmonary nodules suspicious for cancer. Second, the investigators will assess the utility of liquid biopsy to assess tumor dynamics after surgical resection with curative intent. Third, the investigators will assess the presence or absence of this methylation assay in healthy normal persons without a history of lung cancer.
