Liquid biopsy predicts immunotherapy response and toxicity in patients with advanced lung cancer

By monitoring changes in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) among 30 patients treated with immunotherapies for metastatic non-small cell lung cancers, researchers were able to determine molecular response -- the clearance of tumor genetic material in the bloodstream.

Younger people needed more dialysis and leaner patients had a higher risk of dying in the hospital. The trends show that acute hypertension remains a serious condition. People affected need appropriate treatment to control their blood pressure and avoid hospital admission.
