Evaluating Molecular Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer: When Is a Biomarker Ready for Clinical Use? An Official American Thoracic Society Policy Statement

Abstract: The application of molecular biomarkers to assist with the early detection of lung cancer has the potential to substantially improve our ability to select patients for lung cancer screening, and to assist with the characterization of indeterminate lung nodules. We have described relevant considerations and have suggested standards to apply when determining whether a molecular biomarker for the early detection of lung cancer is ready for clinical use.

“…Among these, studies have discovered AABs associated with lung cancer that have the potential to distinguish malignant disease from CT‐positive benign nodules . In Europe, EarlyCDT‐Lung, which contains a panel of seven AABs (p53, NY‐ESO‐1, GBU4‐5, CAGE, SOX2, HuD, and MAGE A4), was confirmed to have 87% specificity and 41% sensitivity .…”

“…e underlying biological and molecular mechanisms of lung cancer are gradually being understood over the past decades [3]. e molecular biomarkers may improve the early lung cancer detection [4]. Furthermore, traditional chemotherapy that is based on histopathology is replaced by the individualized precision treatment which is based on carcinogenic factors [5].…”

“…Still, the 2.5-year timeframe in the fourth round of NELSON resulted in a significant increase in interval cancers and more cancers detected at a later stage [36]. Blood and breath biomarkers may have a role in a more risk-stratified approach and in tailoring the most beneficial LCS protocol; however, there is no current evidence to support their utility in screening [37].…”
