Indi (Integrated Diagnostics), an emerging leader in molecular diagnostics, today announced the results of a major study which suggests that quantifying a combination of blood proteins can distinguish between benign lung nodules and early-stage lung cancer with high probability. The study, which was published in Science Translational Medicine (STM), suggests that when this group of proteins (or ‘classifier’) is detected, and their relative concentrations are used to identify a patient’s lung nodule (a round lesion of up to three cm) as benign, the classifier result is correct more than 90 percent of the time.
