Accelerating Lung Cancer Diagnosis Through Liquid Biopsy

Official Title

Accelerating Lung Cancer Diagnosis Through Liquid Biopsy

Summary:

This study will assess the utility of liquid biopsy to accelerate the time to treatment for patients with newly diagnosed advanced non-small cell lung cancer, compared to the conventional diagnostic pathway of molecular testing of tumour tissue after imaging and biopsy.
