BTOG 2024 | Implementing liquid biopsies: advancing lung cancer care in the UK

Samreen Ahmed, University Hospitals of Leicester, UK, emphasizes the need for the UK to lead research efforts in implementing innovative approaches like liquid biopsies and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing for lung cancer treatment. While the UK boasts pioneering scientists in this field, there’s a gap in translating research findings into clinical practice nationwide. Prof. Ahmed discusses the importance of expanding access to ctDNA testing across various healthcare centers to address inequalities in cancer care and ensure all patients benefit from cutting-edge diagnostics and treatments. This interview took place at the BTOG 2024 congress in Belfast, UK.
