New blood test detects early lung damage in cancer patients on targeted therapy

DNA

Hebrew University of Jerusalem Nov 12 2024 New study introduces a simple blood test to detect early lung damage in cancer patients receiving novel therapy with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which can sometimes cause serious, even fatal, lung disease (ILD). By analyzing specific markers in circulating DNA, this test provides a non-invasive way to monitor patients for lung complications without relying solely on imaging scans. This advancement is important because it could help doctors detect
