Blood sera from lung
cancer patients prior to their diagnosis were studied with MRS to establish
LuCa screening metabolomic profiles that can triage patients to CT tests to
discover cancer earlier and reduce death rates.

threshold (dashed line) calculated using all the Prior-to-Dx cases from both
cohorts. b). The Kaplan-Meier survival predictions for
all stage I and IIA cases. c).
