Abstract
Screening with low-dose computed tomography has been shown to decrease lung cancer mortality. However, the issues of low detection rates and false positive results remain, highlighting the need for adjunctive tools in lung cancer screening. To this end, researchers have investigated easily applicable, minimally invasive tests with high validity. We herein review some of the more promising novel markers utilizing plasma, sputum, and airway samples.
