Key Points

  • High sensitivity of the AmoyDx PLC panel offers reliable detection of NSCLC.
  • The study emphasizes using pleural effusion cell blocks when biopsies are not feasible.
  • Specimens with low tumor cell content still demonstrate efficacy in detection.
  • Supporting non-invasive diagnostic options for advanced lung cancer treatment planning.

Abstract

Pleural effusion cell blocks are a practical and reliable alternative for molecular testing of advanced NSCLC when biopsy is not feasible. The high sensitivity of the AmoyDx PLC panel even for specimens with low tumor cell content underscores its potential clinical utility.
