  • Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally, with the EGFR protein playing a vital role in cell growth, and liquid biopsies offering a non-invasive method for detection.
  • This study compared 60 lung cancer patients to healthy controls, using techniques like PCR to identify mutations and analyze plasma free amino acids (PFAA) for potential biomarkers.
  • Results showed significant differences in amino acid levels between cancer patients and controls, highlighting the influence of the EGFR mutation and specific amino acids as key indicators for early lung cancer detection and prognosis.
