New Lung Cancer Test Better Predicts Survival
In the two largest clinical studies ever conducted on the molecular genetics of lung cancer, an international team led by UCSF thoracic surgeons David M. Jablons, M.D. and Michael Mann, M.D., demonstrated that a molecular test can better predict the likelihood of death from early-stage lung cancer versus conventional clinico-pathologic staging.
