Abstract Background Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer related death worldwide, early detection of the disease contributes to early diagnosis and reduce the incidence of death from lung cancer. Therefore, an effective and non-invasive method for early diagnosis of lung cancer is urgently needed.Methods To evaluate the diagnostic performance of circulating genetically abnormal cells(CAC) in early lung cancer, a total of 63 participants who completed CAC detection by ZHUHAI SANMED BIOTECH INC. and obtained pathological results from January to December 2020 were included in our study, which were divided into 50 cases of lung cancer ,13 cases of benign lung disease. The levels of lung cancer-related markers in peripheral blood and chest computed tomography(CT) imaging characteristics of these patients were collected before pathological acquisition.Results The positive rate of CAC was 90.0% in lung cancer group and 23.1% in benign lung disease group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of CAC was 0.837, the sensitivity was 90%, and the specificity was 76.9%.The area under the ROC curve and sensitivity were both higher than the combined or single serum tumor marker test.Conclusions This study preliminarily concludes that CAC, as a non-invasive test, has high sensitivity and specificity for early diagnosis of lung cancer, which is expected to help early detection of disease in lung cancer patients and has certain help and guiding significance for clinical work.

COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on outcomes in lung cancer leading to later stage presentation, less curative treatment and higher mortality. This has amplified the existing problem of late-stage presentation in lung cancer and is a call to arms for a multifaceted strategy to address this, including public awareness campaigns to promote healthcare review in patients with persistent chest symptoms. We report the learning from patient and public insight work from across the North of England exploring the barriers to seeking healthcare review with persistent chest symptoms. Members of the public described how a lack of importance is placed on the common symptoms of lung cancer and a feeling of being unworthy of review by healthcare professionals. They would feel motivated to seek review by dispelling the nihilism of lung cancer and would be able to take action more easily by removing the logistical hassle in the process. We propose a four-pillar framework (validation–endorsement–motivation–action) for developing the content of any public awareness campaigns promoting early diagnosis of lung cancer based on the findings of this comprehensive insight work. All providers and commissioners must work together to overcome the perceived and real barriers to patients with persistent chest symptoms.

Abstract Background: Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that has the highest morbidity and mortality rate among all cancers. Early diagnosis of lung cancer is a key factor in reducing mortality and improving prognosis. Methods: In this study, we performed CTC next-generation sequencing (NGS) in early-stage lung cancer patients to identify lung cancer-related gene mutations. Meanwhile, a serum liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed in the CTC-positive patients, and the early diagnostic value of these assays in lung cancer was analyzed. Results: 62.5% (30/48) of lung cancer patients had ≥ 1 CTC. By CTC NGS, we found that > 50% of patients had 4 commonly mutated genes, namely, NOTCH1, IGF2, EGFR, and PTCH1. 47.37% (9/19) patients had ARIDH1 mutations. Additionally, 30 CTC-positive patients and 30 healthy volunteers were subjected to LC-MS untargeted metabolomics analysis. We found 100 different metabolites, and 10 different metabolites were identified through analysis, which may have potential clinical application value in the diagnosis of CTC-positive early-stage lung cancer (AUC > 0.9). Conclusions: Our results indicate that NGS of CTC and metabolomics may provide new tumor markers for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. This possibility requires more in-depth large-sample research for verification.
