Molecular profiling of lung cancers using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood of patients is rapidly becoming established as a useful source of information to aid clinical decision-making. This study is aimed to to compare concordance rate between tissue based cancer panel analysis and blood based cancer panel analysis in lung cancer patients (both by NGS technique).
This study is comprised of two cohorts as below: Cohort A: inoperable, untreated, non-small cell lung cancer patients Cohort B: non-small cell lung cancer patients who are in the treatment with targeted agents including immune checkpoint inhibitors
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
200
This study will utilize a MACROGEN Pan Cancer Panel (Tier 2), which is a hybrid capture-based NGS assay interrogating the coding regions of 170 cancer-related genes.
