A Prospective Interventional Study on Early Screening for Lung Cancer Using Liquid Biopsy
Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University
Summary
This project aims to establish the MERCURY pilot screening program as part of the "Love Lung Project," employing a novel concept of lung cancer screening with the assistance of low-dose computer tomography (LDCT). By using clinical pathology as the gold standard, it will parallelly compare the performance (with a sensitivity of ≥90%) of the MERCURY early lung cancer screening model against the LDCT-only screening group within the "Love Lung Project." Ultimately, the objective is to reduce the proportion of overtreatment, achieve earlier staging, and extend patient survival, thus enhancing clinical value.

Liquid Biopsy Early Screening
An early screening model for lung cancer aids in identifying individuals with early-stage lung cancer. Those with positive indications of lung cancer will subsequently undergo confirmatory clinical assessments using Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) in sequence. Ultimately, a definitive diagnosis of lung cancer is established through surgical and pathological examination.
