Transcription:
So, I think we’re most excited about moving the immunotherapy drugs to earlier lines of therapy, and sort of increasing the chances of cure from lung cancer. And so, I’m excited to see the studies with, you know, neoadjuvant immunotherapy and adjuvant immunotherapy and how they may play out in terms of increasing the overall survival of patients.

The FirstLook liquid biopsy, when used as an adjunct to low-dose CT, may help to address the unmet need of low lung cancer screening utilization.
An 80% sensitivity for lung cancer was observed with the liquid biopsy, with high sensitivity observed for early-stage disease, as well.
Patients who face smoking stigma, perceive a lack of insurance, or have other low-dose CT related concerns may benefit from blood testing for lung cancer.
