RECRUITINGTo investigate the molecular differences between primitive lung cancer and the metastatic site.
Tumoral DNA will be extracted from the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block containing the highest percentage of tumor cells, with macrodissection, if necessary, to obtain at least 30% of tumor cells. DNA was extracted from FFPE samples. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis will be performed as previously described. Gene amplification is defined by a coverage mean superior to 3SD.
Time frame: From baseline to 18 months
