Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, due to lacking effective early-stage screening approaches. Imaging, such as low-dose CT, poses radiation risk, and biopsies can induce some complications. Additionally, traditional serum tumor markers lack diagnostic specificity. This highlights the urgent need for precise and non-invasive early detection techniques.
