What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a longitudinal cohort for proteomics analysis in lung cancer patients by utilizing tissue and peripheral blood samples. It will focus on key treatment time points, including screening, postoperative efficacy prediction, and evaluation of therapeutic outcomes. The goal is to explore the potential of proteomics in distinguishing between benign and malignant lung conditions and assessing long-term prognosis. By analyzing protein profiles, the study seeks to enhance the understanding of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with lung nodules confirmed by CT examination and good preoperative pulmonary function.

Not a fit: Patients with severe respiratory disorders or significant imaging artefacts may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the accuracy of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment efficacy predictions for patients.

How similar studies have performed: While proteomics has been explored in other cancer studies, this specific longitudinal approach in lung cancer is relatively novel.
