Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 80 with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are eligible for surgery and do not have EGFR or ALK mutations.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other malignant tumors or those unable to comply with the study's follow-up requirements may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the significance of monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with potentially resectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who do not have EGFR or ALK mutations. A total of 65 patients will be enrolled, and their peripheral blood samples will be collected at various stages, including after neoadjuvant therapy, surgery, and during follow-up. The study will utilize high-throughput sequencing to analyze ctDNA and evaluate the risk of cancer recurrence over a follow-up period of two years. The goal is to explore the potential of MRD biomarkers in predicting patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the ability to predict cancer recurrence in patients with stage III NSCLC, leading to better management and treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using ctDNA monitoring for cancer recurrence prediction, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
