Cell‐free epigenomes enhanced fragmentomics‐based model for early detection of lung cancer
Background Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality, highlighting the need for innovative non‐invasive early detection methods. Although cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) analysis shows promise, its sensitivity in early‐stage lung cancer patients remains a
