Abstract

The present review is an update of the research and development efforts regarding the use of molecular biomarkers in the lung cancer screening setting. The two main unmet clinical needs, namely, the refinement of risk in order to improve the selection of individuals undergoing screening and the characterization of undetermined nodules found during the CT-based screening process are the object of the biomarkers described in the present review. We first propose some principles to optimize lung cancer biomarker discovery projects. Then, we summarize the discovery and developmental status of currently promising molecular candidates such as autoantibodies, complement fragments, miRNAs, circulating tumor DNA, DNA methylation, blood protein profiling, or RNA airway or nasal signatures. We also mention other emerging biomarkers or new technologies to follow such as exhaled breath biomarkers, metabolomics, sputum cell imaging, genetic predisposition studies or the integration of NGS in circulating DNA. We also underline the importance of integrating different molecular technologies together with imaging, radiomics and artificial intelligence. We list a number of completed ongoing or planned trials to show clinical utility of molecular biomarkers. Finally we comment on the future research challenges in the field of biomarkers in the context of lung cancer screening and propose a design of a trial to test clinical utility of one or several biomarker candidates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
