Sputum-Based Molecular Biomarkers for the Early Detection of Lung Cancer: Limitations and Promise
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, with an overall survival of 15% at five years. Biomarkers that can sensitively and specifically detect lung cancer at early stage are crucial for improving this poor survival rate. Sputum has been the target for the discovery of non-invasive biomark...
