“…Important characteristics of lung cancer, compared with other types of cancer, include a rapid onset period, a higher malignancy, and a more difficult diagnosis of the disease in its early stages ( 14 ). Due to developments in and the increasing utility of computer tomography (CT) in most countries, the detection of pulmonary nodules is now the most important early indicator of lung cancer ( 15 , 16 ). It is well documented that smoking and genetic risk factors are risk factors of lung cancer ( 17 , 18 ).…”

“…1 Therefore, early screening and diagnosis of lung cancer have been deemed essential. 2 Screening for NSCLC primarily relies on low-dose computed tomography scans; however, frequent screenings can lead to cumulative radiation exposure. 3 Tissue biopsy serves as the gold standard for diagnosing NSCLC, yet the tissue heterogeneity of NSCLC determines that even with comprehensive biopsies, only a limited portion of the NSCLC tumor is represented, 4 tissue biopsy collection also poses certain limitations and risks.…”

“…The primary reason for the high mortality rate of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been the fact that patients have typically progressed to advanced stages by the time of diagnosis . Therefore, early screening and diagnosis of lung cancer have been deemed essential . Screening for NSCLC primarily relies on low-dose computed tomography scans; however, frequent screenings can lead to cumulative radiation exposure .…”
